Please Help Me Get Through This Nightmare!

I don't know about you, but the end of the semester is always agonizing--grading until my eyes bleed and hands cramp, listening to excuse after excuse from students for why they couldn't get something turned in on time, fulfilling (or ignoring) demands from administrators. Really, how many times in one semester do you lose your jump drive?! Didn't you know you needed that assessment report before NOW? Grrrrrrrr.....One of the bright spots in my day during these grueling times is to go to my mailbox and find something cheery that takes my mind off the madness for a moment.

For this swap, you will take a moment to read your one (1) partner's profile and send something that will cheer her up. This doesn't have to be elaborate or costly. In fact, use something from your stash. Send something flat that doesn't require a trip to the post office (lines are always long here). Suggestions--a postcard, a sheet of stickers, an ATC, a note or letter, a beautiful photo, flat supplies that she can use for her favorite craft(s), etc. Send something you think your partner will enjoy. The goal is cheer and light during the stressful, nail-biting end of the semester.

More importantly, take a break and have a little fun!
