turpsWhen OE reinstalled my folders, it also downloaded every email stored at my web email, and there was a lot, over 60,000. ( I've got me email set up so it downloads to OE but also leaves a copy at the website, so all of those copies got downloaded. Annoying in one way, but also a great back up to have )
It's been fascinating sorting through those emails. It was like a journey through part my fannish history. All the emails from The Sentinel lists, the sentinel angst list I was on, and the dues I had to produce to remain on the list. The highs and lows. The giddy times of SeSas, and first starting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sentinel_thurs, thinking up the sparkly glee challenge and watching the change from Sentinel based mails to mostly popslash. It was a nice reminder of the past, and now I've only got 8,000 left to sort through.
I would have finished by now but we've been busy. Late night shopping and yesterday I went and bought all the family Christmas cards, then sat and wrote them all out. The first of my friends cards have been sent too, and I have plans to get stuck into more later. Corey's computer has been delivered and we've a nice pile of gifts bought. So Christmas wise, things are going nicely.
It was Corey's first open day yesterday. Unlike primary school, this school schedules you a 15 minute meeting with his form teacher. There are no actually classes going on, so Corey had to come with us, then got to go home after. It was a mostly good report. He's got 100% attendance, has never been late, received a few commendations and has had no bad behaviour marks. But when we first went in his form teacher said the head of year wanted to see us, which was eeep. It seems he's not working to expected marks in some of his subjects. The targets are based on his stats, and in history, maths and geography he wasn't achieving that target. As his effort and class behaviour is so good they suspect it's a case of learning to put that extra bit effort into assignments and asking his teacher if he doesn't understand something. We also worked out some goals together, one of which was a suggestion he join another after school club. So he's going to see what's on offer today.
I'm impressed with how the school has dealt with this. They've flagged him early, and are working to sort it out. I'm also very proud of Corey still, he's working hard and most of his lessons he's working to a high standard. With a little extra help I'm sure he can sort these three out too.
