THURSDAY, 1/8/15

It’s another Thursday class day, and this one is actually on a Thursday. Classes go well. The clubs are not meeting today since final tests are next week, and the students need the time to study.

I forgot to mention yesterday that Josie celebrated a birthday dinner last night with several of the faculty. Her son, Jordan, is in town visiting, and was also able to attend. We had a fun time at a “duck” restaurant on the northwest side of town. It’s always fun to have a night “out on the town”, with the BHSFIC group. I don’t have too many chances to participate in their after school get-togethers.

FRIDAY, 1/9/15

Back at my school today, it’s obvious that final tests are near. The students look tired when they walk into the room, and I have to get very active to keep them alert.

Judy’s day is like every Friday. She has a full day of classes, followed by a musical rehearsal after school. The Friday rehearsals only last an hour, so they have to be really efficient in the use of their time. Several students missed the rehearsal causing some consternation amongst the teaching staff. The cast has rehearsal tomorrow after lunch, and the hope is that everyone makes a stronger effort to attend. As with any school group, sometimes, the parents are the problem, not the kids.
