Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Well, I guess St. Mary's isn't through with me yet, and I mean that in a good way, kind of. I had a talk with the MAI program director this morning about what I need to satisfy the minimal requirements for alternative licensure in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The bottom line is that I'm pretty much there already, but I need to wrap up the Social Studies Methods class and take the World Language Methods class. The latter is offered only in the summer, which I definitely have mixed feelings about, but as for the former it looks as if the way it'll happen is that I'll sign up for the course but sit most of it out while I gin up my unit plan (which I have a copy of around...somewhere) and get a passing grade thereby. I'll probably have to retake the one-credit class on Technology in the Classroom, since I never finished the web site for that one, and find some other 1 or 2 credit course to round out the summer semester. Another semester of student loans to kill off, yay.

In other news, there was an assload of envelopes waiting in the PO box this morning, along with a postage due notice, a "Your box is too full for us to stuff more crap in it" notice, and a return receipt for an envelope somebody had sent via certified mail. This last one puzzled me, since the person who sent it was on staff and could just as easily dropped by on Saturday night to hand it in. Well, whatever. It's their money. As of Saturday night we were over 400 pre-registrations, and this stack ought to bump us over 500 without even breathing hard. Big times ahead, yes sir.

Over 500 on 1/3/06? Hmmm... both 'W00t' and 'Eeek' seem equally appropriate here...

We're running almost 25% ahead of last year's pre-reg figures, since we had 330 as of this date last year. This could bring us up to about 1000 pre-registrations, after which it's just a question of how many walk-ups we get.

At the end of the processing today, Finance has nearly 400 registrations processed, and fifty envelopes, not counting the cubit I'm picking up tomorrow.

Hand endorsing the checks gave me cramps! :P

Bumpin'.

Yeah, I shouldn't have waited this long to get you a couple of endorsing stamps. I'll put in an order for them today, crash priority.

certified mail from me, sent from Illinois on Saturday
could not have dropped it off Saturday night since I was out of state
and only sent it certified mail because I was sending a check for $500 from my checking account

Sounds reasonable since you were doing the MAS group registration. Better safe than sorry with that amount of money involved.

Ah, now it makes a lot more sense. I didn't notice the Bolingbrook postmark until you pointed it out.
