On the bright side, I'm survivin'. Nothing too challenging academically wise has been happening. Economics K is definitely a breeze. I didn't even know Word Bank Quizzes still existed! Oh the bright sides of not taking AP :). I'm actually understanding calculus... that never happens. Hmm? Anatomy is the biggest joke known to man. Although, it really shouldn't be a joke b/c I'm not all that great at science. Nor does it even semi-interest me. The teacher teaches it like we are freshman since she is a predominately freshman bio teacher. Everything is a cinch until we get to the tests because then we all realize we were never taught anything. Hmm... Eh, that can be worried about at another time. English is going okay, we haven't done anything yet so I can't really complain. We're reading Hamlet and writing a research paper over military interventionism. ICK!
RST is interesting. We started going to the elementary school again today, and we all have different grade levels. I knew I had been placed in a 4th grade classroom and was trying my best to be positive. It ended up being a 12 student ESL class, who spent half the time at large groups (PE, art, music, etc) while the teacher planned. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I wanted to be with the kids the entire time, I'm not going to learn anything through watching them do warm ups and then listening to teacher's plan. So... hopefully when I go back tomorrow I will have been replaced to a different class. Cross those fingers!
Swimming has been going okay. I only have 10 more practices till this season is over, and ultimately, swimming is over. That'll probably get hard when I realize that that chapter of my life has closed, but we'll get to that when that comes.
Swim Lessons on the other hand have been going exceptionally! One of my children who was so scared the first night a few months ago is now swimming all by himself! Even if it's only a few yards, it is so rewarding! Then there are the kids that don't wanna be there, but whose parents force them. They are a different story and a struggle every week.
Now, for the non-academic, non-athletic, non-working part of my life. (I didn't know that existed either!) i have been fortunate enough to have spent so much quality time with Megan and Renee and that is slowly slipping away now that reality is picking back up. Megan goes back to College Station on Friday which is going to be a bummer. I have grown accustomed to being able to stop over at her house at all times! A friend of mine from camp's brother has gotten some nasty infection and is in the hospital. We have been told he will be in ICU for another 2 weeks, and then the hospital for a month. It isn't good. Camp friends form a family, so it has been a trying time for a lot of us to try and be there for each other and rally around Cameron and his brother (Kendall) and their family. You don't realize how much of an emotional battle it is when some of your closest friends are struggling, it causes you to struggle to maintain that happy upbeat personality as well.
So yeah, there's my past week! Whirlwindyish right? Yeah. Tell me about it!
Tomorrow's a NEW DAY!
