Both last week’s color palette and pen selection worked well. This week, I’m swapping only one pen-and-ink combo. Replacing a bright blue EF accent notetaker for a purple-pink version of the same. Gearing up for some commonplace notes.

My latest cohort of students is graduated. Grades are submitted. I’m feeling large and capable. Let’s party.

The substantial transition from the school year into the summer months calls for a similar transition into desk-friendly nibs.

The final week of meetings and celebrations to end the school year is upon me. Meetings galore, 96 more papers (one for each student), and a triplet of banquets in honor of our graduating class. So let’s get weird. Well, mildly weird. Workably weird.

This coming week will see me on campus teaching: grading, drafting summer assignments and sitting in curriculum meetings. All three activities are writing heavy. Score.
