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.
