Checking out

Yesterday, the sophomore classes were to turn in the last essay of the year - we've got more than half a month of school left, so I didn't think it asking too much... after a year of writing various essays, one would think that they could whip out the essay in an hour or so.

One student turned his in. One. The rest of them whined pathetically.

So very disappointed. And yet, somewhat expected. Somehow, my relationship with these classes has disintigrated to the point where they do nothing and whine constantly about every assignment.

Hi Hedgetoad,

I am currently doing some research on blog that that's are about
work in quite a big way - it doesn't have to be the only theme just
defines the blog either directly or indirectly.

If you feel that your blog is like this in anyway would you please fill
in a brief questionnaire on work-related blogs at the following web-
link:

I have also put you on my blog that carries nearly 300 work-related
blogs and can be accessed on unless you object:

Thanks for reading my email and I hope you can manage to help
me out.

Giveaway!

Free Stuff! What a great way to start a week! A little somthin’-somthin’ for my peeps. (does sound hokey? ‘cause it sounds totally smooth in my head). CSN.com is letting me hand out a little gift card to one lucky reader! And by little, I mean, a substantial amount. $50 smackers. 50 semoleons. 50 clams, baby. Which can buy you something very nice to make your January quite fun or your Valentine’s Day a little more romantic.  CSN is comprised of over 200 online stores, where you can find everything from Delsey luggage to Le Creuset cookware! How styling would I look with this set, while attending my first AP reading? This has a definite wow factor! Yes! I was asked… still waiting for my district to work out the details as it takes place while we are still in school. No one can make the decision at this point because, well… there is no more money anywhere. I’ll know for sure by next week. Enough of school politics! This will be one of those giveaways with fantastic odds! Unfortunat...

I was tagged... Here are the instructions: 1) Go into your archives. 2) Find your 23rd post. 3) Find your 5th sentence (or closest to it). 4) Post the text of your sentence in your blog along with these rules. 5) Tag five other people. Here it is... Since I was to be in a meeting all day, the district hired a substitute for my classes. And thus my aversion to having subs in my class was born. Or rather the unknown factor of them - the planner in me cringes at the thought of being off schedule. Of course, I could be flexible, but flexible is much harder.
