Things that annoy…

  • I am standing in the classroom of my 11:00 class right now, trying not to be annoyed.  I just sent away the one student who showed up for class today.  We were supposed to review for the test, which I moved to Wednesday so that we could finish the review today.  The two who aren’t here were here on Friday.  The one not here on Friday came today and had no questions  It’s a tad annoying really.
  • The schools in Columbus called off last night because of the cold.  There was much jubilant squealing from the ladies in my small group who were affected (3 before I left…probably more before the night was over). Apparently, the children can’t wait in the cold for 5-10 minutes for the bus. 
  • Cedarville didn’t cancel classes today, even though my students have to walk outside repeatedly and for surprisingly great distances in temperatures that quite literally makes your face hurt and your boogers freeze. I think the children could’ve waited for their buses.

On a happier note, I got a ton of grading done this morning before my first class (was supposed to be).  Maybe I’ll go finish the rest of it before I head to Mom’s for lunch.

I also had a good, but very tiring weekend.  The houseful of teenaged girls (6 high schoolers and their leader) filled the house with squeals, chatter, and high-pitched laughter on Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday night and Sunday morning.  Eric was somewhat amused by the whole thing, commenting, “High school girls are weirder than I remember them.”  I told him they hadn’t really changed much.  But I enjoyed hosting them, and on Friday night, I stayed up for their small group time and had the opportunity to answer some really tough questions that they were wanting answered.  That was a good time!

Of course, I’m really tired.  But the weekend is over, and now that the routine of “weekdays” is restored, I should be able to catch up very quickly!

  1. Karen’s right, little people can’t take care of themselves the way college people (supposedly) can. Someone’s gotta protect the little people. Otherwise, the adults who are supposed to be protecting them will start suing the schools for NOT doing so!

  2. It was cold and little people are more affected by it than college kids.  So, I am happy to be home today.  If it makes you feel better, I’d be find if you had a day off, too.  Why not tomorrow?

  3. I was wondering where you were this morning and how the weekend with high schoolers went! I’m glad they didn’t hear Eric’s comment!

    I considered calling off cold this morning. I would love to be snuggled up in my apartment today!

  4. I would be annoyed about the class, too!

    The girls sound like they were a delight, and a nice change of pace (which is always followed by a welcome return to the normal pace).
