Life Goes On

Its been another crazy busy week at work. I hope this next week settles down just a little. I can handle crazy work and I can handle crazy school stuff, but when I get hit with both at once, then I just feel a little crazy!!!!
 I took 3 tests on Saturday, which in itself is a crazy thing to do, but that way I only have to take one trip to the school. Plus, I was on call last week and I didnt want to stress while taking a test, worried that I might get a call. As it turns out, I didnt get any calls, but I dont like to test Murphy's Law that much. I got my chemistry test results already, and I did good on that one, so I hope I did as good on the other two. I did get a chance to relieve some stress on Friday night, with another rousing high school football game. We played Catholic this time, and it was the first game so far where we played against another team of our caliber. In other words, it wasnt a wipeout game and we had to work at it to win. In fact, we won with a field goal at literally the last second of the game. I thought for a minute it was going to go into overtime. Everyone was on their feet at the end, screaming and cheering on both sides of the stands. Both teams played a good game, and the boys from Catholic have nothing to be ashamed of. Oh, did I mention they beat us last year at home, then we beat them in the playoffs last year on their field and that we played at Catholic this time? The funny thing was, I ran into someone I work with at the game, and she has a boy who is a senior playing for Catholic. Coworkers on opposite sides of the stands! Loving the rain these last few days, but I am so glad the rain held off during the game. I was prepared though, brought the big umbrella with. This week we play at home against Marshfield, who is one of our big rivals. Last year, they came to our field and tagged all the players cars in the parking lot while we were at an away game. These high school rivalries are quite amusing so long as it doesnt get carried away. Well, time to go now. I've been doing chemistry for the past few hours so now my brain is kinda mushy. I think I will go watch a little TV before bed, then tomorrow it starts all over again. Life goes on.

What a Week!

It has been a busy week! I went to my son's football game on Friday in Reed's Spring. We won 48-0!. We are now 3-0. Of course that also meant that dinner on Friday was from the concession stand at the game. Not too bad this week. We have learned to get to the games early for a good parking spot, and the food is better the earlier you get there. The big game we are all looking forward to is the game against Bolivar on Oct. 7. They are also having a good season and are one of our biggest competitors. It looks to be a good game, and probably a close one. So if you are a Bolivar Liberator fan look out the Wildcats are coming, and if you are a Rogersville Wildcat fan, Go Wildcats!!!. I have a chemistry test and a nutrition test this week, an A&P test next week and an Algebra test the week after that. I hope my brain can handle all this! I do think I am ready for Chemistry and Nutrition and I hope I am ready for A&P. Algebra should be a breeze as I am pretty good at math and I really like math, which just goes to show what a nerd I really am. I spent about 3 hours on Algebra today and the time just flew by. I guess I like math because it is so ordered and once you know how to do the problem or what the formula is, the rest is just solving the problem and it doesnt matter what the numbers are, the process is the same. My son thinks I am weird but that is ok. To Shannon, I got your reply to my last post, I look forward to hearing from you again. Are you in Ms. A's class this semester? She is a great teacher. To Ms. A, thank you for your replies and continued encouragement of my writing. Blogging is definitely a good way of expressing myself. Want to hear something funny? My 19 year old, who will go hunting by himself and all that, was hollering tonight when a walking stick got on him and started moving.  Happy writing to all and enjoy this beautiful weather, even though we really need some rain. Maybe I should do my rain dance?

A New Week

The last week has been really crazy, so I am really glad this is a new week! We had our annual state inspection last week, which meant long, stressful days and not a lot of time left over to get school work done. In fact, I may have missed an assignment in one of my classes which really bummed me out. Then I got to thinking, it was only worth 10 points, and if that is the worst thing that happens to me this semester, than I can handle it. I am glad that the inspection happened early in the semester, and not later when I am trying to test or get ready for finals.
We did fine on the inspection, which we all thought we would, but it is still glad to be done with it for the year. I have started reading a new book, "The Fire of Heaven Trilogy", by Bill Myers, which combines religion, science and the psychic all together. I am part way through the second book in the trilogy, and I can't hardly put it down! This semester, I am trying to take one day a week to not work on school and to just enjoy some down time. We finally got our central air working, as we had been using window units all summer, and just in time for the weather to cool down! Oh well, it will be nice to have next summer. Right now, I am sitting by my front door, feeling that wonderful breeze. I also can't believe that the thermometer is reading so low, but I am not complaining by any means. I love this time of year. My garden is just about done for the season. I picked some tobasco peppers today and put them up in vinegar to have with greens. Maybe next year my greens will actually grow. My tomatoes are still going, and the bell peppers but everything else is pretty much done. The good part is that I can start planning garden 2012!. I hope OTC has the plant sale again next year, so I can support the school while building my garden. Hello to The Purple English Teacher! I am glad to know you are reading my blogs and I do hope to meet you one of these days. I don't get to campus much during the week, but I am there in the NKM building on some Saturdays for lab.I hope the new school year is treating you well and that you have a great group of students to teach.
