A bright and shiny day

Weather was fine, but not really what I am implying.

Knowing my flight schedule made today a breeze. Things didn't really bother me, and the kids got into their tessellation completions. Twice, during two different classes, the principal popped in the room, and the kids were all engaged, mostly quietly, while I was inventorying textbooks in the back. And this wasn't just busywork, either...many of the kids were showing some great creativity. Big laugh when I coaxed them to tell her about the video we saw about the artist. "Oh yeah...Usher"

My Study Guide for the final exam is completed (which in turn means the final exam is complete, since I will jiggle the order of questions and recalibrate the numbers on all the problems...), and that should take up at least the next 2 days. Tomorrow there is some sort of all-school assembly about gang awareness - we do it every year but it still doesn't stop the gangs from recruiting, nor ignorant students from imitating gang signs (like certain colors, brands of clothes, etc.).

Friday is still the "May Day" field day. Pray for good weather, since god knows what will happen if it is canceled or moved indoors. Unarmed revolt, perhaps.
