Junior High Math Sub: alias Mom

Yes, it should have made the headlines. After a 28-year hiatus Mom spent the afternoon subbing in the Rock Falls grade school and enjoyed it very much, thank you. (Believe it or not, most of the students did too.)

Notes:

1. Watching Cars and Radio (DVDs) did not suit me as the default substitute plan for the day. Teacher's gone, we watch movies! Nothing against those particular movies, but sheesh. Like a good sub I arrived with bag of Other Things To Do...

2. Expectations ain't what they used to be. These 6th & 7th graders were (mostly) unable to perform basic sequential math operations such as, Take a Number, Add 18, then multiply by 20 and subtract 333...

3. Junior high boys really stink at the end of the day.

Cheers. And send those cool math tricks my way!

Another Semester down...

I finished my last final exam today and am ever so happy to have this semester done and over with. Busy couple of months for me. I decided not to extend my lease through August, which means I should be packing and getting a storage locker... Not entirely sure what I'm doing, or where I'm going after Boston. As long as its nowhere near here. Awaiting my official exchange acceptance letter from Uppsala University before I book my flight to Stockholm:-) Hoping and praying my final grades will carry my gpa back to where it needs to be:)
