11.17.12- bball tourney part 1 day 2

I like how I just sort of gave up yesterday. Could it be that there was better food in the hospitality room? Quite possibly. It also felt like the longest day ever since I was up there all day. Got home around 9:30 pm. Oh man.

Alg2- yeah. Setting up hospitality room. We all agreed to do double time next week during 4th period. That should help us get where we need to be. I'm also interesting in seeing if they will actually do that.
Alg1- muhahahahahaha. They had a quiz and had to wait for everyone to finish before they left. I had one take the entire period and then some more. They came in asking to leave right away. Hahaha. No.
MMA- discussed a test they took. Couple finished it up. Had them sit for a minute or two as we planned out the next couple weeks then let them go. Will go over test next week when they're all graded.
Geo- they came in asking to leave as well. So I took the entire period to go over the test. Spent a few minutes talking to coach and listening to him talk to referees just to help pass the time and let the kids see what they'd done on the test. They finally settled down and focused when they realized they weren't going anywhere.

The guy from Region came out. Caught me off guard since I thought he was coming out next week. We talked about how classes were going, focusing on geometry. He wants me to go over the next unit and see where I can cut stuff. Do the same thing with any other classes where I'm behind as well. This year is a lesson in condensing. I came to the realization the my geo class is 40 minutes long. Last year it was the first period of the day. This year it's 40 minutes long near the end of the day. Why do they hate me? He also suggested trying to keep homework to a minimum. Next week is thanksgiving. Thank the Norse gods. Grades are due Monday and I'm behind and now I'm home. I tried to grade yesterday but had kids in my classroom all day. Argh. So easily distracted. And now I'm home. I'm ready to do home things. Like sleeping. And laundry.
Ok. Last thought. I have to do parent communication and I'm dragging heels. I hate formal communication. They're gonna be mad that I haven't. Argh. Oh and my lesson planner. I'd go to work but there's bball games. Oh and I'm not going to do the student planners anymore. They don't use them right and they can't even manage the easy A so I'm done with that.
And last but not least, I volunteered to help with the girls bball team. I am an idiot but I want to see what it's like to coach and see if that's something I could do as well i case I ever move. And I need to do art. And a ton of other crap. Maybe tomorrow ill map out my goals. And maybe monkeys will fly out of my butt. Laters.
