monday monday
Its Monday, and for some reason I ususally end up blogging on Mondays or over the weekend. Anyway, the weekend was pretty good. The boy was home, which I always enjoy... we did not do a whole lot, and hopefully over the holidays we can actually hang out with friends. It would be nice, I think.
My day was okay today... though in the morning I had no desire to be at school. I think these weekends where I have fun and hang out with friends really kinda puts a damper on the whole teaching thing. I would much prefer skipping school to being there... though getting paid is a nice nice thing.
My chem class was okay today... we got stuff accomplished, but they are so dead that its difficult to tell whether or not they really understand what the bleep is going on. We are talking about solubility, then about heavy metals, then about molecular compounds. OBVIOUSLY ChemCom has no discernable order of events. I dislike it intensely and part of me wants to just rip apart the next unit and teach it as informational text so I dont have to freakin talk about fish kills and that crud.
Biology was decent. 4th period actually came in and got to work, which impressed me greatly and put me in a much better mood than I had previously been in. Oh wait, skipped lunch, one of my students came in to talk to me about video games. I dont have many for Game Cube so it was hard to converse with him about a lot.
Anyway, 4th was okay. we talked about isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions. Then we talked about active and passive transport. then we talked about endocytosis (cells eating something up) and exocytosis (cells pooping stuff out) And yes, I put taht in the notes. And yes, they giggledl ike 5 yr olds. But I think they got the point.
6th was okay... theres some drama going on... one of my girls has been going with a guy for about a year or so now. Just found out he was sneaking around her back with one of her friends... And all of them are all taking sides and stuff... fortunately the girl he cheated on her with isnt in the class, but EVERYONE else was. sigh. so bio was a lil high strung, but we got thru what I wanted to get thru.
7th was okay... physical science... we got thru things, but I just wanna kill them most days. I love them personally, but they dont shut up. I had 5 students ask me what "soln" stood for (solution)... if they had been NOT talking, then they would have heard it the first time. freakin kids. grumble.
Jon also made my day that much more lovely by rubbing it in my face that he got out of work around 12:30 and I was stuck at school.
I guess all of this is pretty boring, and I am sorry if I offend.... im also starving, so I think im going to go make some dinner and read Newsweek. I think later we are going to make snickerdoodles. yuuummmmm.
In the meantime, please pray that I keep my sanity until Thanksgiving break. I really dont want to kill them before then.
