Gah! Bloppity bop! Shlop! Flop! Glop! Mop! Schmop! I hate the night before a school week. I originally thought I would just review this week but suddenly changed my mind. I make my life difficult!! Now I want to teach the Reformation! (and whiz through the Renaissance). Not good at teaching art and culture.

Memorial Day Weekend

So glad for having Monday off! Of course this weekend will be about getting sleep, writing finals, thinking of what to review and how to go about it, and grading random things. Oh and errands such as getting a haircut and having a pair of shoes soled. I still have to grade projects that I have been holding off on, but I can only do that in the school building. I have no intention on bringing posters home with me to grade.

Want a way to increase your road rage?
Teach spoiled freshmen boys who have no integrity.
Today was a day where I really wondered how people continue with this profession.

More randomness

Stuff I Want to Watch Once School Finishes
1. The King's Speech
2. Late Blossom (not sure if this is the proper translation)
3. Sunny
4. Best Love (current Hong Sisters drama)
5. 49 Days

And for the what- to- read list, that's too daunting to think about. Most of it will be school-related, though hopefully I will be able to mix it up a bit.

I finally bought a pair of old lady shoes!http://www.sasshoes.com/main/view_styles.php?catid=4&prodid=64
I got them in white. They are quite comfortable.

I also like these: http://www.sasshoes.com/main/comingsoon_detail.php?uid=16
but will wait for now.

I have two very different, wonderful songs stuck in my head:

1. http://www.coldmailman.com/
"Pull yourself together and fall in love with me"

2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYEDA3JcQqw
Adele - "Rolling in the Deep"

Saturdays are always full of promise. I have a long to-do-list and hopefully will get some stuff done.

The weather really affects me. Today it's really sunny and I feel so optimistic. (The past six days it's been raining on and off.)

More investigation

So I inquired how long teachers review and apparently they do not do that much review. I might just be able to continue with more material (yes that makes me feel better in some ways). Teachers are already making their finals though so I am wondering how they work in material that they are currently teaching.

Wowzers

-Two more teaching weeks left, one week of review, four days of finals, and two half days, yikes!! The weeks move by so fast and yet so slowly; I can't explain it.
-AP World was taken last Thursday. It's video time and then they will work on final projects. I chose the movie, Lagaan, but some students don't like it because there's not enough action and the plot moves slowly. There will always be students who have to complain!
-It looks like I will be working on writing finals Memorial Day weekend. . . oh and there's one student who will be leaving for India the 27th, so she will be taking a final early. Another final to write up. . .

J. Crew

I think I am a J. Crew addict. Most of my clothes are from J. Crew. They make such practical work clothes. Ann Taylor also makes good work clothes - just wish there were more interesting prints and color selections.
