Day 15 (9/9/9 - Wed)

Another propitious day! 9/9/9! We will get at least a 10/10/10 next year, which will be even cooler, I have to admit. Although there is something fairly numinous about having three 9's in a date when it's square root is itself 3... (that was for you Katrina)

Wheaton College celebrated such a special day by hosting a service fair, with lots of local churches and student ministries setting up info tables, crowned with the below tent which served up ice cream all afternoon. Mmmmm.



The day was also celebrated with a surprise birthday for -- of all people -- ME in my Thucydides class (upper level Greek)! As they pointed out, it was my 1/12 birthday (since August 9, my actual birthday was one month ago) and they found it a perfectly legitimate reason to celebrate in class with ice cream, brownies (delish), and chocolate chip cookies! Needless to say, I have wonderful students who clearly are going places. Yes, I love my job.
