Just a Side Note

It is remarkable how much work I am getting done now that I have NO time to sit around and chat with my buddies. Instead of gossiping for an hour after school and then getting ready for the next day, I am busting my ass to get my schedule up and my things organized before rushing out the door. And although there are some things that aren't happening (grading, for one) I am pretty much keeping things running as usual. I don't think the kids have noticed a great change in how the class runs. Parents will notice a differnce when I don't sent home work reports on Friday, though.
