News and views from the It's about time
Since I started this blog on August 31, 2004, I've been very regular about posting, even managing a few entries during the summer. This summer was the exception, and I apologize for the hiatus. I promise to get back to regular updates.
This first week back began with the usual teacher meetings, followed by yesterday's first day of school. Other than the expected changes (like all the students who are so annoyingly taller than me now), a couple changes are absolutely rocking my world view. First, Uni has an intercom system, a development most of us never thought possible. We've been promised it will only be used in emergencies. So far, so good, though there were some interesting staff "tests" during the meeting days (no, no farting noises, thank you very much). The second big change is that, for the first time, I have a student who is the child of a former student of mine. Shoot me now.
One incredibly welcome and surprising development is pictured below. Aaron Kelter, aka Manga Lord - class of 2008, Manga Club founder, former library employee, and all-around great guy - donated his ENTIRE personal manga collection to the the Uni High Library. That's 241, two-hundred forty-one books. Of which, only about 7 titles are duplicates. Let me tell you, eyes are popping around here. THANK YOU, AARON!

Oh, poor Runelle and Julia! But I'm sure the Manga Club is jumping for joy. :) And they look so pretty on the cart!
Wow, it fills up both sides of that cart and still has some left over to go on the desk pull-out thing... that is awesome. :P
Thanks for the post! I'm glad I can still get one more, even after I hung up the Super Unicorns and graduated.
*rubs hands together* As if I needed more to read...but I'm so not going to be able to resist some of those. I saw enough I know I like to want to read the rest!
Great post. Thank you very much for appreciating all these things and share it with us.
