Well today's the big day, my little Camden is coming!!!! I just can't wait to see him laugh and smile, and I finally get to smooch those baby cheeks!! I know, I'm such a grandma,ha,ha. That's okay I'll be the same way with your kids, one day in the very distant future.
in other news... my classes are going well, the second exam scores were a big improvement for most people. The others well they may just be "the child left behind". I had my observation on Thursday, I was nervous and of course my class was on its worst behavior. One of the girls, this very strange "I'm a tortured artist" chick decided to be a jerk. Everyone was working in groups and her group was just "chatting", she told me she didn't do the work and why should she. So I asked her to move up front and she says "Are you going to throw me out?" My mistake, I should have said yes, but I was only going to put her in another group. Anyway, she gave me some lip and sat down, I just didn't want to give her any more attention. Next time anyone pulls that crap, out they go, I've had it. I was talking to this other teacher friend of mine and she said it was the "mom syndrome" apparently there was some study that showed that when female teachers tell students to do something they react like it's their mom telling them to do it and they rebel. Male teachers don't face this, weird huh. Maybe I just need to send them to their rooms, lol!
That was Thursday and we've been busy ever since. Russ had his endoscopy Friday, what a relief to have that over and know that he's better. Saturday morning we went motorcycle riding with our new professor friends, great time, great weather! Then we got back and cleaned up and went to an art auction/wine tasting. Also lots of fun and we got some nice artwork. Today we have to go pick them up and then figure out where they'll go in the house.
Well that's it for now, I have papers to grade! Rachel I'm so happy and excited for you, as usual I think you are amazing!!! I miss you guys and I love hearing about all of your adventures!!!
Love you
Awwwwww, Camden is going to get spoiled this weekend! I can't wait to see pictures :)
ReplyDeleteThat's good to hear that most of the class improved their grades from last time, sign of a good teacher. Yeah, definitely kick those bitchy girls out. Grr, there are so many of them in college who think they are "all that". I've got a few girls like that in my classes and it just really irritates me the way they disrespect the teacher and other students. I was actually talking to one of my professors about it, he's a former Marine and we were discussing the value of if everyone had to serve time in the military and what that would do for students. I don't think it would instill values in everyone, but it would be nice to at least see the "stuck-ups" get off their high and almighty cloud. I can't wait to read the post where you say you kicked her out though..I wish some girls would get kicked out of a few of my classes...that would be sweeeeet.
Look at you guys, motorcycle rides, art auctions, WINE TASTING....living the good life, practicing "early" retirement :P Haha awesome.
Glad to see you're doing well evil stepmother, I can't wait to see pictures and say hi to everyone for me. Love ya!
Punt that betch across campus!!
