beware the busy month of March!

I don't have much time or much to say. I feel like I've been making constant to do lists and time has been going way too fast.

This week:
-10th graders started Julius Caesar (both a yay and an ugh)
-11th graders took first SOLs and claimed they were easy (we'll see how 'easy' they end up being when those scores come back)
-Laughed quite a bit with students, about a variety of topics.
Including the NEW Funniest Moment Ever, from the always-hilarious Bryan:
11th graders in 5th bell: Cory finished his writing prompt in 5 minutes! He probably wrote 3 sentences and then dipped!
Me: Didn't you know? Cory can do and does everything in 10 seconds. He probably wrote about 5 pages, and you didn't even realize. He's like the Flash!
(once I said this, I knew Bryan-if he was listening-would say something)
Bryan: That's what his girlfriend said, too!

I shared this moment with the teachers at lunch (most of them know Bryan pretty well) and we were still laughing about it today. I totally set myself up for that.


Coming up is the busy month of March:
-Teaching two pieces of literature that are difficult due to dialect/language: Julius Caesar and Their Eyes Were Watching God.
-Going to Richmond for Abigail's birthday this weekend
-Natalie coming to visit next weekend (!!!)
-Going to Philadelphia/Amanda the weekend after, my first weekend of spring break.
-Possibly going to the Richmond rally the last weekend of March

That's a lot. Good thing I've taught Julius Caesar before. I just need to make sure I know what I'm doing with Their Eyes Were Watching God. I've read it-- I'm just not sure what to do with it.
