I don’t handle schedule changes very well. I get a little confused and sometimes I get irritable. So I’ve been continuing to get up in the mornings as if nothing has changed. It’s a good thing, because I still have papers to grade before this coming Tuesday. I had given some projects to both the 7th and 8th graders in the last weeks of school. Because things were so crazy the last weeks, I didn’t have time or energy to grade the projects. So I’m doing it now.
I go in to school before our meetings start and get a good hour or hour and a half in. I’m glad, because by the time we’re done with meetings, all I can do is fall asleep at my desk. I figure I’ll have to do this about three more mornings and I’ll get my stuff done. Meanwhile, I’ll keep chugging the coffee.
While I grade, I’ve been listening to the Prince Caspian soundtrack. It makes my grading feel dangerous and exciting.
That is a honkin’ mug – I love it! I bet it holds lots of liquid consciousness.
I especially liked how the mug matched the stripes in Brad’s shirt as well as his eyes. It’s a shame he had to grade with green pen.
I like your desk in the front of the room instead of the back (note: I know the desks he’s at are student desks, he previously had his teacher desk back where that big plant is, now it’s in the corner in front of him).
Mostly I like it for variety…
I can’t wait until you’re done with your 9 days of meetings and your grading. So, when do you hit the road?
I don’t recall that blue mug from the 37 day mug blitz before a recent birthday. Could this be yet another newer mug you actually purchased for yourself?? (If it is ever missing, check my car…it matches the Subaru – like DMC 820, for you stitchers out there in Bradaptationland.)
