Trying New Things

Work life after Open House has not slowed down a bit. In fact, the stress level just keeps on rising due to last minute final tests which we didn't have last year and the normal end of school year paper work such as cums, report cards, ELD portfolios, registers, etc. All this on top of trying to clear and clean out my classroom and keeping the students busy. I've had a headache everyday this week. Although today, I am finally feeling like I will be able to get everything done on time.

Last night was the only enjoyable time I had this week. I went to my first oil painting class. My teacher is Kt Boyce. I like her because she's very free spirited. She wants to help us do our own art instead of enforcing a rigid curriculum. It was my first time ever oil painting and I had a great time. I was so excited that I had a hard time falling asleep. Of course, it didn't hurt that I came home after class and watched my weekly episodes from Naruto and Bleach.
