Its 12:16 and my students are about fifteen minutes into their chemistry midterm. I think its a pretty decent one, if I do say so myself. I am not sure how well they will do, but I did my best to prepare them... actually, that not fair, I did not really do my best. I gave them a really good review packet, and it was THEIR problem if they did not study it. I kind of left it in their hands. I remember how I feared midterms and finals.... always did well via cramming... I dont know how they will do. One of my more intelligent students (okay, debatable, she did just have a baby) got a 65%. Maybe I will curve it? Maybe they can just suck and deal with what they got. Today they are all concerned about the minimum they need to pass the semester... I think all of htem will pass it.... we shall see....

I feel pretty bad cuz I called out sick yesterday... I didnt really want to do it, but even being here today is a challenge. Wed night I puked up my dinner and spent a lot of time sitting on the toilet... not to be harsh or anything.... I am pretty sure that I have the flu. yum yum. I probably got it from one of my students. Its going around.

Anyway, perhaps I should use the next hour and 45 minutes to do something productive... ive done well most of the day, having some of my students come in and clean up the joint, getting book organized, getting stuff moved out to my car... that was the best, I made two boys carry a whole bookshelve of books out to my car... course cleaning out my car isnt going to be fun, but thats alright.


In other news, slight progess is being made on Florida... I guess the current plans are march or april... We have started to check out some apartment possibilities... the real work will come when I finish school in two weeks. Guess id better go... the natives are a bit restless over this test.
