I remembered again yesterday why I usually do not cancel class, even for bad weather.<\/p>\n
My students cannot handle it.<\/p>\n
I spent too much of yesterday resending, repeating, rewording, and otherwise clarifying for my students all the information that either I’ve said multiple times in the last 2 weeks (but they didn’t listen to) or I emailed to them on Friday (which they didn’t read). I don’t typically mind until someone gets annoyed with me because I hold them responsible for the information which he or she didn’t listen to or read completely. <\/p>\n
Yep…it is definitely the week before Spring Break. Really, everyone is already on Spring Break in their minds (professors included), so this week is always a very interesting one. We basically have to excuse a lot of behavior and attitude by reminding ourselves that everyone is just tired and needs to go away for a week. And we do. I am looking forward to Spring Break as much as anyone else. Maybe more!<\/p>\n
Okay, enough whining, though. Most of my students were just fine yesterday, and we did pretty well with classes and things. There’s just a couple who are hard to deal with sometimes. In the evening, Eric and I went to Chipotle for dinner, so I didn’t have to cook. And I ironed when we got home, so now that’s done. I got in bed at 8:30 and read for a while. I was pretty much asleep by 9:30. Sleep is so nice!<\/p>\n
Today I have another stack of papers to read (the other half of the stack I read on Sunday), and I need to tidy up my house. Other than that…we shall see. Maybe I’ll see if Karen wants some company. Who knows?<\/p>\n
Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
