The past week has been busy as always. Lots of planning and grading. A few late nights making sure I was ready for the next few days. I was observed by my lead mentor and my instructional coach during the same period on the same day. One left and the other came in a few minutes later. It ended up going pretty well, despite the fact that I was quizzing and had to teach quickly. The comments were good so I felt good about that.
This past weekend I drove to my parents in NJ to surprise my Mom for her birthday. It was a lot of fun. Her birthday is today but my Dad planned a nice dinner with a bunch of their friends for Saturday night. I drove in Friday night and met a couple of their friends at a restaurant and made it there before my parents did. The look on my Mom's face was wonderful! The weekend moved fast. We did a little shopping Saturday afternoon and then had the surprise dinner at night. Sunday morning I left around 11 to try to get out before the weather got too bad.
Hurricane Sandy left us we two days off of school. We got hit with a lot wind and rain but I've still got power and it hasn't been too bad. The time off was nice. I was able to finish grading papers, make bbq sauce and sugar cookies and study for my certification exams a bit. My parents in NJ had more wind and rain than we did here in VA but last time I talked to them they still had power but had a few leaks as well. There is snow falling in West Virginia just a little ways away from here. This is just crazy! Weather changes do make my headaches worse. It's been a rough few days, luckily having some time off has given me a break. It's been nice to not have to work through the pain but it's still never fun to have to have to deal with it.
The rest of this week will be a bunch of quizzing, reviewing, and testing since it is the end of the quarter. It will be interesting for sure! Having a short week will be nice.
