Sick Day

When I came to teach here, I was confident I would catch something from the germy kids or the new Teachers. That whole new germ pool thing. Well, I made it 7.5 weeks...

Today, was spent working on the student evaluations, and when I turned my in before lunch, I was ready to go home. I had a fever, upset stomach and sore throat (Dr. Dad, I know you'll be trying to diagnose me...!). The weather reflected how I felt inside. I got a ride home and after getting a delicious bowl of chicken noodle soup from Panera, I went home (dorms) to sleep and medicate. It was nice to just zonk out for a few more hours and when I re-awoke, I still felt sick, but much improved.

Tonight, I've corrected all 13 of my evaluations for my kids. I've cleaned my - and other - classrooms, I've eloquently praised my students, I've taken surveys and been interviewed by my Director. The last major thing to do is my "Presentation of Learning"... about which I have NO PLANS yet.

We're having a good-bye dinner out tomorrow night -- just those of us who survived Breakthrough Real World: Eaton Residence Hall.

I'm feeling better now: don't worry Mom and Dad! I'll be at work tomorrow.
