Day 4 -- 96 -- Term Ending

The final day for my three courses was today. We did summary and exam discussions in each class. It is exciting to be at the end of the term but can feel a little sad knowing that our thrice-weekly meetings won't be there anymore. Just odd emotions all around. I may be lucky to see some of the nutrition majors in other courses next year, and at the very least will see them in the hallways. The other two courses this term were for nursing students, so I will not be involved in any future classes. It is also the last time we offer the course for second year nursing students, as nutrition is now in the first year of their new curriculum. When I said that I'd miss teaching second year nursing students, they all clapped -- very touching.

Today was also international tartan day -- which is rumored to have begun in Nova Scotia <smile>. It wasn't until moving here that I was able easily to find the potential family tartan. Our Scots ancestors (Love) were said to be part of the greater MacKinnon clan, so that is the tartan I've adopted -- unofficially.

The song for today comes from the tartan part of the day. I chose a folk song sung by an artist with Scots background. Enjoy!
