Despite how slowly this week is going, it's ridiculous to think about how quickly time is going by. We're nearly on to week 6 already out of what's really going to be an eight week semester. We do have our weeks nine and ten, but there seems to be so much going on with end of the year wrapping up that I don't think much actual curricula will be being taught during that last week and a half. Even before those last days, we still have so much that has to be mixed in with what's being taught in the classroom. Though I expected it, especially with having one of the senior classes of the school, it's surprising how so many things need to be fit into our already busy schedule. My biggest challenge I'll be working with over the next couple of weeks is simply having to fit all the pieces of this magnificent time puzzle together.

Energy levels definitely seem to be running high this week, something which is normal towards the end of the year. This week, though, seems really bizarre in some strange way that I can't put my finger on. It's almost as though absolutely no one can really focus on any one task. I've been having a grand old time keeping everyone in the class as much on track as humanly possible. I'm finding this group to be a most interesting one to work with. They're all such characters in their own ways that each one is so easily capable of making me bust out laughing at the most random of times throughout the day. I absolutely love them all. Of course, they have their moments, but I'm finding that all the smaller hilarious/touching/random bits outweigh the others by so much.

After prepping the students for their measurement posttest, it's off to take that tomorrow morning. While the students catch a little bit of a break between the two units, for me, it's off to plan the next couple of weeks of geometry. This week's kind of dwindling down so there's not a whole lot of chaos going on right now. With planned parenthood coming in next week to teach the kids about puberty and Life Education coming to teach them about drugs and substance abuse, next week is bound to be nothing short of amazingly busy. I'll be sure to keep you posted.
