Mini-Me

Yesterday, Ari and went to the Museum of Art and Design (free with Columbia ID!) to see their exhibit on 3D printing, which I'd heard from a fellow teacher was pretty cool. It was worth the trip--after waiting in line for about half an hour (not too bad...), I got scanned by a nice lady working there.

Student: …because then I know that it is Friday, and it is almost the weekend.

(I only see these students once a week. And I'll take whatever compliments I can get.)
