Final Thought - It's Always Darkest Before the Dawn
At our weekly school-wide meeting wrap up, we provide a final thought for the week for our students and staff.
The final thought is not an opportunity to quit thinking, but rather a thought to ponder over the weekend before school starts up again on Monday.
This week's final thought was a reminder: It is always darkest, right before the dawn.
This is a good reminder to people who are struggling with issues like unemployment, finances and family stresses. like many of our students.
So as bad as it gets, it can sometimes be helpful not to focus on the darkness that's happening, but rather the good that's coming.

Victor Hugo Day
Happy #VictorHugo Day!
Google has included the famous French author among its litany of Doodle-saints by honoring him with today's doodle:
As Community Business College is an institution concerned with higher learning, we thought we'd add our own recognition of the great writer with a picture of him and a favorite quotation about reading:
By the way, since Google decided to offer a slide show that includes both well known and less well known works, here is a key to the representations of the Google Doodle recognizing Victor Hugo:
Notre-Dame de Paris (also known as The Hunchback of Notre Dame ) - 1831
Les Contemplations: A book of poetry dedicated to his daughter, Léopoldine Hugo, who drowned in the Seine River – 1856
Les Misérables (the book, not the
musical) - 1862

As a side note, perhaps it’s best that Google didn’t decide
to include a doodle about how Victor Hugo used to motivate himself to write
when he had writer’s block: lock himself in a room, bare naked, with nothing
but a pen and paper. Definitely would not make a dignified doodle.

Having Fun In A Heatwave - Plus A Little Science
While we suffered heat in excess of 100 degrees in Modesto at Community Business College so we decide to try a little science experiment - would an egg placed on a sidewalk cook?
Well, it didn't. At least the one put on the concrete. However, we also left a cast-iron mini skillet out in the sun and it got hot. Sure enough, the egg in that one cooked. I wouldn't serve it for breakfast but the proteins did coagulate.

It was unlike any job fair we've ever been to before.
