Feeling betters

I’m almost back to 100%…I think on all fronts.

It helped having classes cancelled Tuesday & Wednesday due to weather. The Critters school was cancelled too.

I’m quite proud of my (non-finished) art from Wednesday. It feels like the first piece I’ve put a lot of effort into in a while. [School does so make it difficult sometimes.]

Eeks! My coyote just ran away…Crap. *frowns* Oh well…He shall return.

Speaking of returning…*pokes @ electric*
Two weeks ago we lost partial power in the house. Took out the lights in the kitchen & dining room (but not the electrical outlets), and ALL the power in my Mum’s room.
We’ve been waiting on the old man from down the road to get a hold of a guy he sort of knows that is an electrician. I just glanced out to the kitchen and noticed the light above the stove was on! O.o For whatever reason…The missing electric has returned. *shrugs* Honestly, I am perplexed. Not going to complain tho.

Have sooo much homework.
Most of it is trying to figure out where I’m suppose to be at in Social Studies. Since it is such a relaxed atmosphere, I have to admit, I’ve let myself slack off a bit…Not good, I know.
I did spend one day trying to gather information for the thing, but I’m not sure I have all of what I need…I doubt it. So more searching is in order.
I have to read two chapters in a book and give a summary of it for the class…Although that might be pushed back a week, again, due to snow day. I should read and take notes anyway, I know.

Science. OMGs. *headdesk* We had part one of our two part ‘mid-term’ last night. *shakes head*
He’s been telling us this whole time that questions would be taken from our Reflection questions…Yeah…No. Maybe a couple of them where, but the vast majority were not. And I do mean vast majority, as the bloody test was 61 questions long!
This is suppose to be a methods class, a teaching class…Teaching us how to teach.
A good portion of the test read as a test in a science class, over science stuff, not the learning to teach stuff.
Simply put…It was a NIGHTMARE.
Then, we have a paper due next week…& he gives us homework on top of that. [Not to forget that he spent the first 2 1/2 hours of class teaching us new material before giving us our test. Frying our brains prior to testing.]
 

Diverse Perspectives…I read the article that I have to write my 3rd Action research paper on this morning. It’s got me annoyed, even more, at the fact that everyone is worried about our ranking in the world, and that this is based on standardized test scores. [Which is a rant I sort of got into Wednesday on Facebook…But it solified my realization that I am passionate about this…Otherwise, I would have kept my mouth shut.]

*growls* Part of my words just got eaten…ANYWAY…Not going to try and go back to the article just yet, as I still need to sort my thoughts into cohernt statements.
I still need to figure out how/where/when I’m going to get 8 hours of volunteering in. *rolls eyes & sighs*
I need to write up my last two observations.
I need to come up with 10 questions for my multicultural interview & get a time set up with Alice.
I’m getting positive feedback on the stuff I’ve handed in thus far tho…Which is good. He even told me I should bring up some of the stuff from my 2nd Action research paper in class. It was concerning Religion and Public Eduction…& the difference between teaching about a religion and teaching a religion. While seperation of church and state forbids the later, it does not forbid the former. Tho…I wonder how hard it is for someone to teach ABOUT their own religion, and not slip into ‘preaching’ it.

Desite having a full plate, and not updating Maria like I want/should…I do believe I have added even more to my plate. *headdesk* 
Seriously…I do not know what is wrong with me. Can I just blame last Wednesday’s art? As the two are connected.
Well…I have to go get that added ‘work’ set up…*shakes head at self* No point in keeping it all to myself. *laughs* 

Your assignment….*Imagine my loverly coyote image here* 

Oh…& one more thing. My wonderful Mum…When it came time to renew my OD subscription told me to go ahead and get the Lifetime membership. *grins*
