The kids already had a scheduled short week coming up, due to the annual teacher's convention - Thursday and Friday off. However, after more than a third of the students at Millbrook were sick today, they decided to cancel school Tuesday and Wednesday as well, so Abby was done for the week when she came home at lunch. We're all fine here so far, although most of us have gone through a decent cold (Lisa has probably survived the best, but she thought she could feel it coming on). Abby and Jake got the plain flu shot already, but not the H1N1 version yet, and one Millbrook student was confirmed with having it, so says the reports. There's part of me that thinks we should find someone with it and just cuddle up with them so we can just get it over with. Somehow, it almost feels imminent right now. I haven't heard of any big outbreaks at Ferris yet, so hopefully my classes won't be thrown into disarray sometime soon.
In other news, this past weekend another professor and I took a dozen students to the Michigan Undergraduate Math Conference at Wayne State in Detroit. We stayed overnight at a Red Roof Inn because it was so cheap - fortunately it was better on the inside than on the outside. It was a good time. Next year it won't be so far away, at least.

I personally think I'll avoid cuddling up with anyone who has H1N1 -- in fact, I'd prefer it miss us completely! However, if Mike wants to cuddle he may - he'll just have to move out for a couple weeks until he's over it! :)
