All done with inservices, at least for nearly 48 hours. My lesson plans are nearly done. I have been trying to find a college football game to listen to on the iTunes radio, but it will take a little more dedication to get there.
The good news about today's session is that there are only two more such sessions to endure, and then we are done for the year with the local inservice phenomenon. We front-loaded them on purpose, so that we would not have any to deal with during winter semester, when things tend to be frantically busy anyway, and we are getting kind of crispy. They do make the fall semester kind of an endurance contest, though. They are just no fun. No other way to describe it.
My mood improved after lunch, and now I can relax here on the internets for a little while. Monday's session will probably give me some time to catch up on grading and grade entry, which is important with the end of the first nine of weeks of school coming up a week from Tuesday. We have another Saturday work day in three weeks, but that will mark the end of October, and Christmas will be on its way. Of course, Thanksgiving will provide a welcome interlude as well.
The kiddies seem to be coming along promisingly, although some days they are just unfocused as hell. What am I expecting from junior high kids, right? I plan on taking three of them to the junior high speech contest in two weeks. That will provide a nice break from the routine.
All else is well-the weather is showing definite signs of trending toward the wintry-snow is in the forecast for the week, and I have pulled a heavier coat out for the chillier conditions. I wonder when we will be able to get the snowmachine out and head out on the frozen Kusko...
