Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
CRAP. The juniors were supposed to be gone all this week on their camping trip, which meant I only had two classes to teach and tons of time to catch up on grading...so I did some work this weekend but took it easy overall. Well I just got an email saying that the trip was canceled due to weather, so we have normal class all week. Not only do I not have extra grading time, I now have a week of class to plan! ACK!!!
So. Screwed.
Kristin, that sucks. I wonder if your kids could some writing with peer evaluation? Something simple even like: write about your favorite book, trying to convince someone else to read it? Can pass the essay to a fellow student, have them evaluate the review and whether they were convinced!?
If this was an extra week that would work, but it looks like they are going to reschedule the trip for some time in April or May, so I can't lose curriculum time this week. They were at the beginning of a project, so I will have them keep working on that for a couple of days and then shift gears mid-week, I guess. It's just a tad bit awkward because we only have this week until Spring Break, so if I start something now they will likely forget it by the time they come back. It will all work out, but ack.
I was so taking notes during the chocolate conversation. Must try the Dagoba. I'm also willing to try the regular cocoa but at the 3 T amount per weensy serving. How bad could it be?
Kat, as a mom what has seen a lot of goodie bags, I think the less objects in them, the better. Those are perfect.
Ugh Kristin, I hate having to change my class plan at the last minute. Esp when the plan had been NO CLASS.
Ack, Kristin. That's a lot of class to prep for when you weren't expecting it.
I want chocolate now. Mmm, chocolate.
So AT&T is buying T-Mobile? When is the Quickening?
Fucking Insomnia Fairy. I got 3 hours of sleep last night, and I'm at work now. Fuck.
I've been up since ass o'clock in the morning. Sharing a small, uncomfortable guest bed with the kids at my sister's does not make for a good night's sleep.
But I got up, walked the dog, made coffee and baked cherry turnovers. So there's that.
Thunder and lightning and hail. All before 7 am. I am never going to get used to morning thunderstorms.
