13 January 2017: "Am I the snafu?" --one of my favorite* students, at the conclusion of our Sigma Tau Delta meeting today, wondering (humorously) if she was the one always messing things up.
Some background: Earlier in the meeting another favorite* student explained the origin of "snafu," an etymology that delighted her so much, she is using it all the time. She added, "It perfectly sums up my life."
These kids make me laugh. And today, they taught me an etymology lesson. So all in all, a positive meeting.
*This descriptor isn't a very helpful one, as so many of them are my favorites.
