The Scottish poet Robert Burns pretty much nailed that one! I had every thing I needed to become a blogger (bloggist, blog-meister), and yet I'm left with naught but pain and grief. I guess it is hard to carve out a few minutes each week to put down some thoughts, but that is nothing more than an excuse. Since I don't accept excuses from my students, I shouldn't make any for myself. I simply need to either do it or not do it. The odd thing is I really do like writing. I was a journalist in school and was always fond of creative essays so this blog thing should be right in my wheel-house.
We are moving through the third quarter at a pretty good clip and we just got tests back in all of my classes, so that would be why grades moved so drastically. In physics, the students should be channeling their inner musician and developing an instrument and learning to play a tune.. this is a new project so I am interested in seeing what they make of it. In my chemistry classes, we are getting ready to do a couple of labs and pushing on through the material. If you have any questions of me, please feel free to drop me and email and I will get back with you ASAP!
That is all for now except to say I am pretty much done with winter! I am looking forward to some nice, warm spring days...I say we get rid of the stupid ground hog!
