| Well it is about to happen. I am headed back to homecoming. SHouldn't they really call it "homeleaving". I mean, I am at home now. I am going to a place that used to be home but is no longer. So what am I doing? If you are there, I will talk to you soon.

| jim. email me. I would love to hear how the new job situation is working out. | | |
| So I started doing report cards tonight. I have officially become "then man". I am giving out grades. I am determining whether a boy or girl get $10 per A or nothing for an F (don't worry, haven't had to give one out this nine weeks). I sit and judge as I do these report cards. Sometimes I wish that I could just give the kids the grades I think they deserve and not what their performance on each assignment says they make. For instance, I have a student who is extremely smart, but doesn't even try and has a bad attitude. I would give him a C. The smarts are there, just no effort. But alas, if he can add 3 digit numbers together and estimate, he gets an A. In other news, I think everything should receive a grade. I mean, as a teacher I get evalutated. If more jobs and tasks were graded I think people as a whole would either increase their efforts or quit. That would be nice. Then I say we make all of the quitters head out to California and wall them up. That way the rest of us "E for Effort" people could get along with life.
146 more days. | | |
| So, the weekends really mean something to me now. I have a brief 36 hour grace period to get myself mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared for another week of school. 19 8 year olds can be daunting to even the most brave of souls. But, they are good. I am good. You know, I love the fact that I am investing in children's lives and how my work means a lot in the long run, but the greatest thing that I am learning is that my job is still just that. A job. I can walk away at the end of the week and it won't bother me. It is cool.
So my school did have a carnival today. As my beautiful fiance described, "It smells like kid sweat, popcorn, and grape." Now that is living the high life.
147 days left. | | |
| So absence..... In school they tell me that it is a bad thing and that students should be encouraged to be at school everyday so that they don't miss anything. So what have I missed?
My news, I am teaching, I am getting married (loving that), and I am happy. What else does a guy need.
