As I mentioned earlier, after spending time in Virginia (twice), Arkansas, and New Jersey, Mini-Jane came home with me after Alumni Weekend. (See
here for some background if you don't know who Mini-Jane is. And some more pictures of
our adventures so far here.) It became apparent pretty quickly that life with me is not nearly as exciting as life with the
Hollandsworths (babies! chemisty labs!), the
Lobes (12 cats! lab rats! yard work! crafts!), the Nagles (another baby! a classroom of fourth graders!), or the Flegals (real Jane's family! Christmas! presents!). What is life like here in Heidi-ville? Well, poor Mini-Jane found out...the short version: lots of teaching, grading, reading, and writing. Not a bad life, but not it doesn't make for the most exciting pictures.

Collapsing on a stack of papers. I guess she doesn't know that you aren't supposed to grade in red. It's bad for students' self-esteem or something...
But it's not all bad! Sometimes we get to dress up! Here she is with me on graduation day.
Mini-Jane soon learned that "summer break" isn't exactly the break it's supposed to be. Even when we hit the road for a trip to Greensboro, we still had to get work done. Even David got in on the act, working on his dissertation with Jane's help.
