Well, I have just graded tests for 3 classes and YAY! Although I think some of my students are going to be even happier. I'm only somewhat surprised. Of course, we're getting into word problems next....
amusing, and then not thing:
I was nice and put up posters some students made for solving the one and two step equations. Only one student did I see actually looking up that way and when she got to the multi-step equations, she asked me where the posters where those were. i won't tell you her grade. I didn't want to calculate it....
Let's hope the success continues....
there was something else... oh yeah!
I'm finally going to have health insurance again tomorrow!!!! How sad that I am excited for that. It'll be nice to start receiving minor prescription benefits again and be able to see the doctor or not fear an ER trip (may one never happen...) I just like having the security because of the heart stuff, which will be fully covered as there weren't any pre-existing condition exclusions that I could find. and I haven't been to a doctor for it in over a year. But, that isn't because it's fully gone away... I have learned a few things about it from my own observations though. Such as, there is a definite stress connection. I have had bouts with unknown triggers, but I have had a few moments that were definitely stress related--physical and emotional. I've also noticed that things get bad when I'm ill. So, if I dare to visit the doctor again, at least I can tell him something...
well, and so ends what has so far been a pretty good three days. I hope the week continues to go well....
