First Friday of Liturgical Year 2015-1016

We had a great Friday meeting at work.  One of my student teams made it to the top three finalists for the grant proposals, as they were ranked by about 50% (498) of their peers in the class.  My team consisted of Kacey, Katie, Kaitlyn, and Wei.  Their proposal was clear and well-written, met all proposal criteria and requirements, and was presented with solid science.  Their proposal was ranked third, with 163/498 votes.  The second and first place proposals garnered 166 and 169 votes, respectively.
Wei arrived as my group's representative, and Maria, myself, and Natasha introduced our team representatives, in turn.  Jean read the student and the executive committee comments.  The student comments for Wei's group included that their proposal was clear , and included every element.  The executive committee was particularly pleased with Wei's group's rationale, low-cost budget, and the sequence of the experimental strategy proposed for the research. 

I met with a student after our meeting.

Friday afternoon I whisked to Mom and Dad's place after spending some time in office hours answering a student's questions.

Then, I went to the Oratory for Friday afternoon Mass.  Fr. Steven L celebrated.  Stayed a few moments for First Friday Exposition and Adoration.

Today was Mom's first day out of their building.  She went with Dad to 8.15 AM Mass, then spent about four hours shopping at Costco!  She sent me a voicemail yesterday eve/ this morning saying she was trying to get into the computer.
