PB&J and Tuesday nights go hand in hand

Cold this morning but I think it is going to warm up today. It will be short lived. The rest of the week is supposed to be cold. The good news is we really don't have a chance at any significant snow in the near future.

Class went well last night. I had them do a team project that incorporated Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. They had to do a lot of work and finish the night with a presentation. I was anticipating it to take a few hours total but it ended up taking almost the whole four hours and the second group didn't get to do their presentation. They will have to do it next week.

Even thought it was a bunch of work, I really didn't hear any grumbling about it. I think they enjoyed the project but it was a killer for me. I just had to sit there for four hours and wait. It was very dull. The next two classes are going to be the same because they have test prep next week and the final test the week after that.

Jess had a basketball game last night and they won. I thin they won pretty big too. Dawn said Jess played well. She is more confident this year and really getting to the basket. I think she had 12 points. It will be good to see her play on Friday.

She has the best vertical jump on the team so she does the jump ball. So far this season she is yet to loose the jump toss. We will see what happens when she has to jump against a girl that is 6'2. Last year she had to jump against one of those girls and she wanted to get up early so she jumped as soon as the ball was tossed. The other girl jumped with her and they both wiffed!

Drew has early morning practices this week so we go over at 5:10 am. Molly loves the little walk to the school so she is just excited as she can be when Drew is up and about in the morning.

I have a meeting today and not much on the agenda for the rest of the week. I am a bit worn out today for the last two nights of teaching.

I got my confirmation card for teaching next semester. I teach three classes. For a 6 week period from the end of February to the start of April I will be teaching 17 hours a week. I guess we will see how I hold up.

Off to start.
