First Day of School

Today was the first official day of school for WSU students. It was nice to be back in the classroom again. I miss students, they're a lot of fun. Though it was sort of a shock to be around humans all day, they're loud. Ha.

Yesterday for breakfast I made my family's traditional Finnish pancake, "pannukakku" (sounds like "bunna kah koo"). I love it. It's basically eggs and milk and flour. It's a huge comfort food for me. I have recipes handed down from my great grandma. Jeff's family also has a recipe, but it's a little different (though still quite good). I show my family loyalty and use mine :)

Pannukakku w/ strawberries and raspberries from the farmer's market (and syrup). yum!

 

I walked to and from school today. It takes about 35 minutes each way and it's really hilly. My calves are actually kind of sore from it. Is that pathetic?  Views from my walk....

The walk home, campus looking all nice and campus-like. 

Jeff teaches his first classes tomorrow. He's really nervous but I know he'll do great. Students always really like him and he's good at what he does. But, given it's a new job, he's understandably a bit nervous. 

Off to bed!
