Howdy guys! Here's a brief recap of the last two weeks. I went to bed Friday at the end of the week when I had started my new job thinking I'd have plenty of time over the Thanksgiving break. Woke up on Saturday with a head cold that got progressively worse. Took me several days to recover. By then I had other things that needed to be done for work because I'm trying to get hired long-term at this school. There's a lot of bureacracy involved in that. Last week was a full plate. Kids who have been without a permanent teacher for several weeks are trying to get caught up, and I am working my butt off coming in early and leaving late every day to give them extra opportunities to tutor and catch up. Now I am transitioning into a long-term job for a class whose teacher has been on extended leave for a very long time. It's a lot of work, and trying to get hired permanently requires I jump through some extra hoops. So I apologize, but this takes a back-burner to all those things right now. I'll get back to it as soon as my time allows. It's possible (knock-on-wood) I will have some free time to start posting again over the winter break, assuming something unexpectedly like illness doesn't happen again. I did want to explain what is going on with me though, and let you guys know I haven't forgotten about you. Hope to have time for this again soon.
