Sunny Sunday

A sunny Sunday indeed. I have thoroughly enjoyed the nothingness of today. A tasty meal out, a steaming visit to the pool, a sunny walk, and languidly reading To Kill A Mockingbird in my room as my suite-mate plays her ukelele. This afternoon included a jog, more reading, and a dinner out. Ah, what a life.

This week will be a test of patience, preparation, and time management enough to rival exam week at school. Highlight events will include: brain dissection with my class; planning and executing Science Department Day (a half-day of demonstrations, skits, science trivia and snaziness), coordinating College Day (a day-long scavenger hunt at U Miami) and writing student evaluations (like narrative report cards).

Well-rested and well-fed this weekend, I am ready for the challenge.

Update at 11pm: now I'm actually planning what I will try to teach the kids Monday and my two classes are at very different places, so I have to figure out what to do. Reader poll: do I stall the fast class and/or accelerate the slower class or just let the quicker class continue to get through the material? By the end of the week, 2nd period will be a full class period ahead of 4th period. Is that okay?
I just graded homework, and about half my class perfectly understood a difficult concept about the "homunculus" (which is a map of all the nerves in your brain). I was very excited to see their answers!
