October 26 - November 1, 2015

This new week of the term has been much calmer. I am determined not to give two large assignments at the same time this term. I don't always keep my goals, but hopefully this one will come true.

October 19 - 25, 2015

This has been a crazy busy last week of the term. I hardly had time to think. I'm definitely never giving my classes two writing assignments due at the same time again...or a big assignment at the end of the term, either. It's finally got cool enough to break out a few vests or jackets.

October 12 - 18, 2015

This was a short week -- only three days of school.

October 5 - 11, 2015

This was another busy week. The weather here has been so beautiful that I've just been trying to enjoy it while it lasts.

September 28 - October 4, 2015

In a word, crazy. This week was so long and intense. I had a PDC meeting, an all day professional development class with Cris Tovani, and parent teacher conference on Thursday from 3 to 9 PM. I am pretty worn out after such a stressful week.

September 21 - 27, 2015

I couldn't even really think about clothes this week because I was so obsessed with the Volkswagon Beetle Convertible the BHW bought me for my birthday. It just makes me happy when I come out from work and see this car.

September 8 - 13, 2015

This was a short week, and I needed it. I actually ended up wearing the outfit with the red shirt for two days because I forgot to bring a change of clothes with me to Cedar City for the Shakespeare festival (fastest packing ever, and no, it didn't go well).

August 31-September 6, 2015

Well, I made it through the third week of school. I've been a little tired, partly because my room was so cold, and I think it was a little draining on me to be in there. I finally got the temperature adjusted on Thursday. It had been about 66 degrees every day, but I got the janitor to push it up to 72 degrees, which feels pretty good. I'm a much happier camper. I'd worn a button-up with a wool sweater on Thursday, and I actually got a little warm by the end of the day. This is a long weekend, and it is much needed for me to get back into equilibrium.

August 24-30, 2015

One thing I've discovered about my new classroom is that it is absolutely, positively, freezing cold. The air conditioning is definitely working overtime in there. This is why in my Friday entry I am wearing a sweater with a sweater jacket over it. It just had to happen. I was also wearing wool socks. In August.

August 18 - 23, 2015

Now that I'm working full time! and not just in shorts and a tee shirt, I'm back to posting. Here's what went down the first week of school.
