One Week

ONE WEEK UNTIL WE ARE DONE, FOLKS! I am beyond excited. Plus, I just learned that I'm going to Florida for Christmas break! HOORAYYY! I haven't been home in a year. Such a great motivator to get stuff done!!!

Anyways, the bee situation is now over. Mrs. Matthew's is in one classroom for periods 1,4, and 5. For periods 7 and 8, we're in another classroom. For most of the time I've been here, the room has been infested with BEES. And well, I'm allergic to bees. So, the room has been in limbo for a bit while they clean out the bees. Well, today... they're finally gone! However, if you look up in the ceiling light, you can see their burial ground. Someone's going to want to clean that....

Anyways, with my honors class, we've been talking about A Separate Peace. If you don't know much about it, click here. Basically, it's a book about a boy named Gene searching for his identity... and in his search, he hurts one of his closest friends and his dreams. I had a great lesson during 7th period. I was completely blown away by how well it went! I got a great class discussion. I just loved EVERYTHING that happened today.

Now, period 5 is another story. They've made it known that they HATE me. They hate everything about me since the moment I walked in the classroom. I guess they'll be cheering in the streets when I leave. HAHA. But, I am glad for tough students who vocally show their disgust for me. It reminds me that no every student will love me and connect with me... that's the beauty about high school. It's beautiful to see young minds so enthused to use their own mind.

That sounds ridiculous.
