Midterms are AWESOME

This week is midterm week. So far I've taught 2 of my 8 classes and I don't have any for the rest of the week. I'm not quite sure what I will do since I still have to come into school, I'm thinking maybe I'll get ahead on my lessons. This is a good plan but the temptation of the universal hive mind known as the internet might prove to be too much. I have a thirst for random knowledge about everything (just enough to be dangerous and to make completely false bold statements)!!!!

My 3:35 super fans just showed up for their cameo, they like my headphones.

I finally have my Alien Registration Card which means soon I will once again have a phone. It has been over a month since I've been "with phone" and I don't know if I'm ready for the responsibility. It's nice to only carry my wallet, key and a notepad around with me. Also I don't completely trust cell phone radiation. As my physicist ex roommate once told me, there have been no long term studies and it is very probable that there are adverse effects. I'm totally paraphrasing here but I think it sounded something like that.

The kids are swarming around everything with their mops, brooms, convict trash tongs, and garbage sacks. It's getting too hectic. I think today I will go "take a rest" at a Jimjaebang after school.

BTW Moby Dick is awesome. It's a pain to read but once I get into the right old timey English frame of mind it starts to flow. Sharks, whale skulls, mariner speak, all cool stuff. I think I might have been a pirate in a past life. Hahahahaha

Sounds like adding the extra classes won't 'cramp your style' a bit :) The extra $ always comes in handy, too. I think it's great that you're doing the TESL thing, it'll be nice to have once you get home. Things are hectic here with the last 3 weeks of school. Meredith finished up her last correspondence class so now she's done with all her required credits. She'll graduate with a medallion of some sort for having so many extra credits, having always taken a full load. We're waiting on the final offer from Pacific, so that's not quite official for college. Softball (fastpitch) is in full swing despite the snow on the fields!! They finally had practice outside yesterday. M said it was exhausting trying to get their cleats out of the muck. We go to Anchorage Thursday for their first tournament of the season, ought to be interesting. Saturday night is Prom, so I'll drive her home late Friday night. (she has to be home for symphony rehearsal Sat. morning anyway). It'll be a quick trip.. (The theme for their grad party is Treasure Island/Pirates. I'll think of you and Moby Dick). It was almost 60 yesterday, about dang time. Lee rode his motorcycle to work so that must mean he believes that spring has sprung. I'll probably get the VW out next week if the driveway is dry enough. The dogs are mud buckets.... Hey, your sister is a teenager! yikes... Gotta run, have a great week, enjoy your break. How was the wedding? Love ya
