A Busy Day


Boy, did today fly by! I was so busy trying to catch up on grading projects, running copies, getting makeup work in the grade book, and putting grades in STI, that the day disappeared without warning. This is always a busy time of year but especially when you have a sick child and the end of the quarter is coming up! I got to school today at 7 and did not take lunch today but pretty much got caught up on things. What a feeling of satisfaction! It is just kind of a messed up week. My son was sick yesterday, the kids had an assembly that lasted about an hour and fifteen minutes, and ISAT testing is on Thursday and Friday morning. This is one of those weeks where your lesson plan book looks more like hieroglyphics than anything that resembles plans for teaching. I think we all need these type of weeks. These kind of weeks keep us on our toes and let us know that we are alive. It gets us out of the daily mud that so many of us drag through.

This has really been a busy week. Senoirs have pictures today and tomorrow. However, it really does keep you on your toes. I feel like I've been drug all over the place. I agree, it is rewarding to know that some things have been accomplished in between all of the chaos. Although, I'll be glad to go back to my monotonous routine next week.

not only has it been a busy week, it's been a very busy year! its hard to try to balance work, school, friends, and family all at once! especially being a senior (finally)! its really stressful when trying to get those windows finished. i agree that busy weeks keep people on the toes, it keeps them aware of what they need to do.
your blog helps me understand what to look forward to in the future (in case you didn't know, i want to become a teacher)...

So true! Its Senior year for me and my days have never gone by so fast. Between Volleyball, school, finding a college, having a job, and all the extra things that come with being a senior (senior pictures, holding an office in clubs , ect.) it becomes very busy and most of the time stressful. I wouldnt trade it for the world though. Even if its pretty crazy most of the time,its a blast! :) I completely agree with you. It keeps me on my toes and makes things interesting.
