More ups than downs.... well, maybe.

A nice pleasant weekend- 50s, after so much rain.
Yard is a mess, but other needs await. Yes, another busy weekend.
Change- I need it.

Next week is the last week of 3rd quarter, so exams. This week was all review. I really have no worry about my JHS classes, but I did give my "I am tired of spoon-feeding you" speech to my HS class- they (the majority) are just a bunch of lazy SOBs (sorry).

Monday- verbal and draft for essay.
Tuesday- multiple choice
Wednesday- essay.

I went over the test, more or less, on Friday.
I am going to presume that Monday tutoring is going to be busy.

Other school stuff...

I had my Spain meeting on Tuesday. NETC changed us to another trip (similar) due to low enrollment and that no other school was taking same trip. More expensive trip actually (somehow my travelers were getting a partial refund), but no day on the beach. We added the day, and at most, it will cost $35 for the day. I do not know- very confusing.
The meeting went well, mas o menos, with a 12-page packet about everything I could think about- things I wanted my travelers to think about.
And then Cheryl drops out- her mother is ill. I asked David, but who knows. With Candi being in the state she is in, probably not such a good idea. Still, considering our little argument a couple months back, he should consider going. I have a few days at most to replace her, or I do not have a chaperone- I do not have to have one. I asked a couple of teachers (not from my dept.) and family. We will see.

Costa Rica approved- that meeting this Thursday. Meeting with EF rep this afternoon.

Meeting with Burke (Dir of Curr) on Thursday went well. Spoke about developing a class for Spanish-speakers, but I really asked her to come to discuss the prerequisite issue. She acted like she did not know the HS eliminated the prerequisites for first-year foreign langauge, but Cheryl said that she probably did know- "How could she not?" I gave her the data she asked for. No word from Kathy or the Department.

On the homefront...

David decided to back out of the condo offer. Too many shifts and uncertainties. He has not said much afterwards and does not seem to be actively looking otherwise.

We need to make a plan, not just for the house, but other things.

I have not moved much on my resume or portfolio- career goes into the plan.

Gym schedule better this week.

Otherwise...

Another long list of things to do this weekend, and, as par, not getting much of it done in a timely manner.

Time wasted on facebook.com.

Speaking of..... hooked up with a number of HS people and others I knew back then. Michelle Cooper, not from LP, but friends with someone from the swim team (Edith?) who I hung around with one summer, uploaded some pix from when we all went to Great America (87 maybe).
