Summer school….

Filed under: Class —Tagged , , — toad @ 16:47 PM

soon to start and even though I have done it in the past I cannot bring myself to do it anymore. It is such an easy gig but what I have come to see is that it has begun to be a dumping ground for some of our more overly energetic kids. While a portion of the kiddos are actually there to keep up on their education in some form or another others are just there not caring about what we are trying to accomplish which is quite disappointing. I cant really blame the kids for it is not they who signed them up for the courses but their parents. Lets switch courses here, Euro 2008, Portugal out…boo. Turkey, Germany, Spain and Russia in. GOO RUSSIA!! gotta vote for someone, so it might as well be Russia, good to see them back up in the higher group these days…it has been awhile.

summer begins for a teacher, you are back at school. Yes that is right I am back at my school for the next three or so days. Rebuilds and adding software for the upcoming summer school session. No one wanted to start early on this so as usual…last minute. at least I have a Vegas trip coming up, classes for myself are goin good and it is sunny here in p-town. Portugal are out of the Euros and Germany are still in…garrrr…when will the madness end. Well at least Holland are still strong and I have a feeling they will prevail..time for sleep for it is 2am or thereabouts and I have to work at 7.

Summer is here..

Filed under: Class —Tagged — toad @ 22:41 PM

yes Oregon finally made the grade in my book.  sun is out and ppl are happier and well…life is good.  Euro 2008 was quite a bummer though.  Czech Republic is OUT!!  my goodness…2-0 in the lead and they squander it..they let turkey in again.  bah.  well i guess that Germany still might have a chance too…hope not though.  needs to be Netherlands and Portugal.  we can only hope.  homework is gettin done by both myself and the kiddos here at home.  a trip to the beach, a little yardwork, some futbol matches and you cant ask for much more…maybe a bigger paycheck but you cant have it all.  also I was toying with some of the stuff…wasnt workin here so I thought I might just try this… lemme know if it works..  click here—> lovely tune
