The end of the semester is upon us again. As usual I am behind in my work. For some reason mid semester seems to be always for that perfect storm of illness, assignments, and school vacation for my children. This inevitably leads to my failure to manage my time wisely. This semester I have definitely learned the importance of using those seemingly useless bits if time I spend waiting in the car line, waiting in the Dr's office, and waiting for soccer to end. For the most part I use this time to brainstorm ideas for assignments or practice what I am going to say ( in my head of course haha). I am definitely looking forward to the end of the semester and spending some quality time with my children. I will definitely not miss driving all the way to Timbuktu for class, but I will miss seeing my classmates. Now we just look ahead to student teaching and getting that job we have been working towards.
