When you want to build a snowman

Sometimes you simply take matters into your own hands!

If it's too warm for snow, and you cannot afford to travel to a wintery location:

Maybe you write a poem about snowmen.

Or paint a picture.

Create a sculpture.

Or, if stuck in an ugly boot after surgery:

It's Been Awhile

Sorry for the delay in postings, but December marks the end of the year as well as the end of the semester (not really, but since exams begin January 7th, all projects and research papers are due before our winter break!). That means multiple classes squeezing into the media center utilizing our cart of chromebooks and our desktop computers to meet the deadlines!

We have been in the spirit of the season with our decor. Inspired by the book trees posted all over social media, Ms. Cox and I, with the assistance of our first block TAs, used our discarded mini laptops to build our "Tech the Halls" display!

And, of course, this will not involve reshelving 800-1000 books when we take down the display!

We've also been able to display some new art, thanks to Mr. Brown's art classes. This time, we've added some sculptural art that includes body casting.

And, yes, that last picture has lights! The lights also blink if that setting is chosen.

More art!

And, finally, there is one more piece of "art" that is getting into the holiday spirit (or at least attempting to make something that is quite ugly and bulky look as good as possible...which I have yet to determine if it is possible...).  Introducing Rudy the Boot! He has aspirations for being a Reindeer!

Happy Holidays!
