Finally Friday...

I dont know about everybody else, but this week has been extremely long... But, not long in a bad way.. No major catastrophes, collisions or bad occurances.. It has just taken forever to get over with. I cant imagine how next week will go. Classes, as normal, Monday-Wednesday and then just half a day on Thursday and no school on Friday (our spring break starts) - FINALLY. It is long overdue and I need it in large quantities. Im not sure about everybody else, but I am starting to get burnt out some days. Our attendance is dropping - it happens every year at this time. With the warm weather, comes the students decisions that they are going to stay away from school and enjoy the weather. Unfortunately, that is extrememly hurtful for their grades and prospects of graduating. Oh well. Today, at 8am when class started. I had none - thats right folks - I had 0 students. As of right now, at 8:30am.. I have 5 students.... This is what irritates me.. Try teaching with 5 students.. when the rest decide to come on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday.. They are going to be lost.. L-O-S-T... and then we have to take extra long to get them caught up so that they will understand that new material... Oh the joys..

On another note... Zoey is doing marvelously. I brought her home on Sunday.. A little weary of how she would do. Mainly for her barking/whining when you leave her in a kennel alone. Monday was a little iffy.. she cried, but nothing too horrible. Plus, Meghan (1 of my roommates), has the "noisy can", which is a soda can filled with rocks.. When she barks she shakes it outside the door really loud.. It startles Zoey, and she is learning not to bark. Meghan shakes it because I am at work.. and Zoey really starts to bark when she can hear somebody awake and up, and still is in her kennel. Unfortunately, Eric (the other roommate) is across the hall from me, so when Meghan shakes the "noisy can", it wakes him up as well..

** side note: my roommates do have jobs! Meghan was temporarily unemployed but is starting a new job on Monday and Eric starts work at 9am. So, when I leave at 7:ooam, everybody is till asleep - hense the reason Zoey goes in her kennel. When they get up, they let Zoey out of her kennel when she stops barking.

Oh well. Things have been going better.. We really only needed the "noisy can" monday and Tuesday.... Which is a very positive thing.. Plus, her Potty training is going marvelous, no accident in a really long time. Hopefully, soon, we will not need the kennel when i leave for work, and she can wander the house!.. We will see..

Enough, my students are working, and I should go check on them - though, the five that are here should be having absolutely no problem with the review that they are doing today.

Till next time..
