Wait! What do you mean it's Tuesday?

Dearest Confusia,

I just consulted my calendar to find that today is Tuesday. How can that be? How can it be that I have only worked one day this week? This must be some kind of mistake. Worse yet is that it is only 9:00 in the morning. Oh for the love...

We are giving benchmark tests today and tomorrow. There is that one part of me that thinks, "Ugh...really? We have to sit here in this room for three hours during which time I must do nothing but watch you children hunker in your seats and attempt to take a test?" Then, there is also that part of me that feels like I get a three hour break during which time I don't have to do anything but stare blankly at the students in my classroom. I don't have to try to entertain them, and I certainly don't have to (gasp!) teach them anything. Maybe it's not so bad. At least I was smart enough to bring a book to read. Between that and blogging, I should be able to fill the time. Then, this afternoon, instead of having 90 minute class periods, we only have 45 minutes. Maybe I can handle this.

So, I see that it's cold as nuts up in your neck of the woods. When I left my house at 5:20 this morning, it was 65 degrees outside, but by noon today, it is supposed to be down to 35 degrees. WTF? Oh how I hate the cold weather.

Love ya, Terps
