This week

So on Monday, I was supposed to give a test to my physical science class. I forgot. We had to write our 3rd quarter exams, to turn in on Monday morning, and I was up very late finishing them. So rather than do the test, we ended up going over balancing chemical equations, which they needed to learn anyway, since there were questions about it in the book and no explanations. I guess it worked out OK, since the science fair will be worth 3 test grades anyway. Monday night i was up pretty late, although i don't remember why. I am sure there was a reason.

To make things even more fun, this week we have to write year long plans for distribution of days on chapters in each book. I have to do 5. We are supposed to do 1 per day, and I have done none. I gotta get some of them done tonight. I, as you can imagine, don't want to. Sure it sounds simple, you just have to divide the book into 180 days. Except, i only get 4 days per week for most classes, not 5. Also, Algebra 2 is on a different 4 days than the rest. to complicate things further, Health is 2 days a week. Now this may still sound easy, but consider that when we have a holiday on Monday or Friday, I lose a day on some classes and not others. The only day i have all my classes is Tuesday, and we have never had a holiday on Tuesday.

My heart is a hate-filled pineapple. Grrr

Last sabbath was potluck, and this sabbath will be Church potluck. Last sabbath, I made a dish with some Indian curry paste. It tasted incomplete without naan. Also, although I thought it was very mild, everyone treated it with a great deal of trepidation. I guess I have a bit of a reputation. It was pretty good when i had it for breakfast on sunday morning with some bread.

The whole science fair thing is leaving me pretty drained. I think that I have accomplished nearly everything that is necessary for it. I am a little annoyed that Phil hasn't really put in the work that I have. He kinda only reminded his students about it this week, whereas I started putting in some groundwork 2nd quarter. I hope that my students enjoy the end product.

Didn't bother with the weapon master angle. It is very focused on critical hits and both in the Mask of the Betrayer and the Original Campaign, critical hits are completely useless. Whether it's undead or Telthor, you just can't get them with crits. I downloaded a character editor, and i think that I am going to see if i can edit in a feat that allows my characters to score critical hits on undead and telthors. Then maybe i could do Swashy! Started a sorcerer in the OC, and a ranger in MotB. Rangers kinda suck, but it is fun having SERIOUS damage on my favored enemy. Plus, they get all the cool dual-wielding feats. Maybe I'll edit that into another character.

Whelp, back to work
