update 3

Well... the work week is officially over and we are both home and resting. In some ways this week has flown by, in other ways it feels like the longest week we've ever had. We finally got word from VT today about plans for handling academics for the rest of the semester, so my (Emily's) schedule will start picking up more as students work to sort through their options and make big decisions about ending the semester. Tomorrow I am going with a colleague to a funeral for one of the students in University Studies, Rachael Hill. Jon spent a lot of time with res life staff folks today and is gearing up for students to start coming back. We borrowed a baby gate from some friends at church and are trying that out in the doorway as a deterrent for Finn. He can still jump over it, but it at least slows him down a bit and allows us to keep our door open more for students to drop by.
