There’s light at the end of the tunnel… I’ve almost finished grading the 65 research papers about the Renaissance, the Reformation, or the Bubonic Plague. Whoooop. I know you’re jealous. Let me also mention that these papers are written by high school freshmen, and these freshmen haven’t really written a full paper yet. Some thoughts I’ve had recently:

Thing-A-Thon
Today was perhaps the most anticipated day of the school year (besides the last day, I suppose)….. It was THING-A-THON.
What is Thing-A-Thon you ask? Don’t be afraid… I didn’t know until today. Mr. Department Head described it to me as “Field Day on Crack”. And, well, that’s pretty accurate.
Teams were announced Wednesday, and I think I lucked out. I had...
It’s Saturday night, and I’m grading papers while watching 20/20. Did I just turn 23 or 58?

I’m sitting at Jittery Joe’s grading papers, making PowerPoints, and the like. (Is this how teachers spend spring break? I think so.)
Mr. Jittery Joe’s is also playing Queen’s greatest hits. We all subconsciously included ourselves in Bohemian Rhapsody (toe-tapping, whistling, all out singing…. whatever you’d like). And then it was We Are The Champions. (I...
