its over

Its over! finally! The hell first semester is over with. I almost can't even believe how happy I feel. I just want to throw myself a party & celebrate life again. I don't understand how I made it through I can't think of one time when I felt like i was in control of anything. I'm so sick because I ate too much in celebration. who-hoo!

I can't wait until next semester! It is going to feel so good to not have to teach! It s amzing to think that I will probably be taking 3 classes and it will be realxing compared to what this semester turned out to be. HA! I almost laugh! it will be flippin' awesome! YE-HA! well now I am really done writing tonight

almost done

yeah I'm almost done! I have their portfolios graded and all of my assignments done.. all that is left is their final. Yeah!!! I am almost done I can't even handle how excited I am. I am going to have a mini party.. not really, but I will be really happy.

Portfolios

I am collecting portfolios today, and i have decided that I am going to be very strict with the due date. Mainly because I don't have time to deal with late stuff. Oh WELL! If its not in by 5'oclock, then tuff s*** they don't pass my class. I am only really worried about a couple of students trying to ask for extensions, but they are not going to get them. I am sick of some students not being able to prioritize. It bothers me, and then they tell me its my fault. GRRRR. I never once blamed a professor for not getting my homework done, after all it wasn't their fault I couldn't do it. Apparently responsibility is not something that kids today are able to learn. They expect the world to revolve around them. I blame the no child left behind act, after all I felt very prepared for college along with many of my other classmates. We were well prepared, but now these kids suck! they absolutly suck! Maybe if high schools stopped spoon feeding them they could make it through one semester of college.
-sorry spell check not working again.

Over whelmed again

So I will have a final to grade, portfolios, and journals.. I think I am going to hyperventilate. I', sooo sick of being overwhelmed by reading horrible student writing. The only good thing I have to report is that I don't think a lot of sutdents are planning on revising thier work so grading should be fast on the portfolio. Hopefully. If I have a lot of revisions I'm going to cry. At least I have all of my stuff done. If I am lucky grading will go fast. But luck is never really on myself. I hope I never have to grade another paper ever again! I hate reading bad writing, I think I have actually become stupid after reading so many of them. I have read commentaries that relate Papert's argument to porn and only god knows what else. GAH! that's all I have to say GAH! I can't wait to go away for 13 days! 13 days with no worries, no family, no school, no nothing! Oh well I guess I just need a break.
