Two good things...

28 February 2019: It's been a busy and kind of stressful week made even more complicated by a cold. But today also brought some very good things.

1) I found out that I was awarded a professional development grant to fund some research in Massachusetts for my Lucy Larcom project this summer. I am nervously excited to set up the archival visits and see what I can find.

2) Right before I left my office for the day, one of my favorite students stopped by to give me two pieces of candy and a cute pencil. "You seemed to be having a tough time, so I wanted to give you this," she said. I was so moved that I almost doubled over. These students...they just make it all worth it time and again.
