what the...?

Please explain how this happens: give a 9th grader a test. She gest a 28/80, which is a 23%. This is unacceptable. Give them the opportunity to TAKE THE TEST HOME, use notes, ask parents, use books, whatever to do it... then I will average the results. Get the test back today, 4 WEEKS freakin later..... what does she get?







Oh this is good....








30/80. what the.....? how the bleep do you take a test home for 4 weeks, are able to use books and notes and parents to answer the questions, and BARELY do better than the first time around? what the freakin heck? this makes no sense.





In other mind-boggling news of the day, the hospital scheduled me to work this saturday. Ethan has advised me to tell them to sit on their thumbs and rotate. And while I will most certainly not say that, I will tell them im not working. I am supposed to work one weekend a month, thats IT, and I worked 2 weeks ago. so. BITE ME I am not working.





Send your prayers out to Ethan, hopefully he wont get washed away by Hurricane Wilma. My relatives have mostly evacuated Ft. Myers and went to Sarasota and Bradenton, but there still could be a lot of damage to their homes, depending on how this hurricane shapes up. We shall see.



As far as other news goes... today was okay. Last day I was accepting work for this marking period. Its a relief. I have a few more grades to put in, and then I am done for now. Tomorrow I am going to the opera during a much needed mental health day. Nothing can sweep you away like music... especially music in another language that takes all of your concentration to read the subtitles and watch the stage at the same time. Its a Verdi opera, A Masked Ball. I cant wait. Get me out of here.

Bible study on Tuesday was good.... the study is on covenants and this one focused on the one between David (of David and Goliath fame) and Jonathan (king Saul's son). It was interesting and unfortunately the ladies were having some difficulty with the abstractness of it all. To me it seems obvious, and I guess its just because of my innocence and lack of knowledge that I would think so. I had a great time with "Mrs. Ethan", as my mom would say, and I made her laugh the whole time with amusing anecdotes about my children. I am sure she would laugh about my darling little 9th grader. sigh. I love her to death, but sheesh, child!

I think i am in the mood for some chubby hubby... ugh, im starting to put on weight I think. Its probably a good thing, cuz its freakin COLD in my room at school and I need some insulation. yup yup.
