So 3 weeks of school are done...so I have been teaching for 3 weeks, and I have been takin' classes at Marshall for 3 weeks....All in all, it's been damn busy. I haven't even had any time for running or working out really. Most of my evenings are spent grading, typing lessons, and when i get a few minutes, reading my assignments.
Overall teaching has been going very well...2 of my 3 classes are really fun to teach...the third is a difficult group, who seem to be doing anything and everything they can to avoid learning. In fact i just calculated their grades after the first 3 weeks to be sent home on Monday. It seems that almost 1/3 of the class is failing, but i don't want to blame this only on myself because i have done everything i could w/ them....i spent a week and a half on 1 simple thing, so this is just painful.
Though, i have been enjoying going to after school activities. Normally at least 2 days a week i go to some sporting events and i think it is really good. It gets me out of the apartment for a while and i think the kids like it when i attend their games. Also, i get to meet more and more people around the area. Hopefully this Wednesday when a group of people go to wings, I'll be able to meet even more people around the area.
I want to go hiking here again this week sometime, i want to find some climbing in the area, cause as it is, i'm going stir crazy right now.
