Just got home from taking the Praxis, a licensing test for Minnesota, my killer chemistry exam is over as well. Now I can finally breathe after a very long week.
The Jonsi concert is in a few hours. I am so excited!
I hope everyone out in Suicide Land is having an amazing weekend.
If anyone in Minnesota is going to the concert tonight, I...

Very long week. Between teaching, classes, tests, quizzes and the Praxis on Saturday, I am ready for a break. I am so excited for the Jonsi concert on Saturday in Minneapolis. By the time it arrives, I will be more than ready for a break and an evening of music, joy and bliss.
I hope that everyone is having an amazing week and looking forward...

What an amazing day! I really wish I did not have work to do. It is the perfect sort of day to head North until I find water and then sit and dip my feet in it all day long. Oh well. Still a wonderful day.
I hope everyone out in Suicide land is enjoying their Sunday!

It is 65 and sunny here in Minnesota. Reminds me so much of Oregon and makes my heart ache a little for my time there. Looking like a day of work getting ready for the coming week.
I would much rather be heading up to Lake Superior, but I am afraid that is not going to happen today. Maybe I will get out in a...

Took 74 kids to a ballet today and once they got over the skin tight tights (They really were tight and, well, up the butt was a bit much), they had a wonderful time. They got all dressed up and were so well behaved. Well, after the giggling over the tights. They loved it and I had a wonderful time as well. Not a bad...

I am!! Baby sitting and the kids are down for the count! Waiting for the little one to wake up and let me know he's hungry, but relaxing until then.

And sounds like your day went well. I'm glad the 74 kids had a good time at a ballet. smile

Taking the kids on a filed trip tomorrow. Nothing like taking 74 middle school kids to the ballet! It will be an experience that is for sure. I hope everyone else out there is going to have as fun a Friday as I am!
Weekend is almost here!
niobe:
Sounds like fun. Good luck!

MCA testing sucks the big hind tit. For those who are not teachers out in Suicide Land, it is a standardized test we give in Minnesota and I am officially not a fan. My students work so hard on them and they are so different and at such different abilities, I curse Bush every time I give one of these insipid tests.
Sigh.
Much better....

see, the cool thing is that you care about your students.

That's the way teachers should be man. Good on you.

I'm sure the tests suck, but for a teacher like you, I think it's pretty damn awesome that you can appreciate what they're going through.

Quiet day. Getting ready for a week of teaching, listening to music, reading a little, napping a little, basically enjoying a quiet, slightly lazy Sunday.
I hope everyone out in Suicide Land is having a wonderful Sunday enjoying what you most enjoy, being close to those you most love.
Or at least, being extremely decadent and taking loads of photos!

Holy Shit! Trampled by Turtles can put on one Hell of a show! If you ever have a chance to see them perform, GO! One of the most enjoyable things I have done since coming back to Minnesota. Wow, what a fun night!
I hope everyone is having an equally amazing Saturday night!

Well, spring break is over. Tomorrow, back to kids and chaos. I am actually excited to get back to them. Their energy makes my life so much better and I learn much more from them than they learn from me. On a separate note, just bought a ticket to see Trampled by Turtles at 1st Ave next Saturday. Pretty darn excited for that show. I...

Good luck getting back into the swing of things. Our Spring Break is always the week before Easter, odd. I don't think it was that way when I was in school.

Well, in about 27 minutes it is Easter. I do not celebrate, Buddhist and all, but for those who do, happy Easter. It is nearly the end of spring break and I find that I am looking forward to getting back to the kids and their manic energy. Coupled with the fact that I still do not really know many people in Minnesota, I am...
