Tuesday, August 30

5:47 a.m. - Well, apparently I was wrong about a couple of things - yesterday wasn't my last junior high softball game, and today isn't the first check of the new contract.  I got a call yesterday to work a junior high softball regional on Sept. 10, and Amber told me that the next paycheck is on the new contract.  

The weather forecast looks to be better for today than yesterday, but the current forecast has temps warming up this weekend - not exactly what I was look for when we are camping at Scott County Park, but as long as temps cool down overnight, then it will still be fun to do some camping.

Today at school looks to be okay.  The Public Speaking class will be preparing for an upcoming quiz, and the English III sections have one more little "beginning of the year" thing to complete, which is the SAT reading pre-assessment.  I still need to score some pre-assessment essays, but I'm hoping to get that done today.  I finished the biggest section yesterday, and the essays were pretty typical compared to previous years.

Things to do for school

• spray weeds...weed wack ditch - tomorrow?
• Week of Sept. 5 - observation/evaluation - September 8-9
• September 9 - 6th period
• How about something with SAT reading and/or writing preparation?
