F'ing Patriots

I scored a 65.8 at this purity test site. My score has not dropped over much since I first took one in college. I'm boring, but that's okay.

I have not abandonned Hamlet, per se, but have decided that showing the movie will be a lot more simple, while still exposing the students to said story. I'm going to make them write an essay on it when they're done, so the onus is on them to pay attention and ask questions. The few that were paying attention said it was easier to listen and watch then have their classmates read it. Well, okay, whatever works right? Next up for them...I don't know. Something shop-related that won't require me to do a lot of work once I do the planning. That's not lazy, it's "authentic learning." At least, this is what I tell myself.

Total side-bar: my brother just came in here because he couldn't plug his car charger into his new cell phone. He handed me both things and said "Bet you never thought this would happen." My brother, the electrician, came to me for mechanical/electrical assistance. Funny.

I should have gone to the gym today, but knew I would come home and go online, so I figured I could only allow myself one do-nothing break today and while on the computer at home, I can multi-task. 'Tis very hard to grade papers whilst on the mill of tread. Trust me on this.

I actually am sick of grading and what I really want to do is plan. Planning, for me, while time consuming, is MUCH more rewarding than actual grading. The type-A in me likes to organize everything, and planning is just that.

Brother reaks of cologne again. Oh. My. God. I hope there's a girl out there who finds this smell appealing, 'cause I sure as hell don't.

Is it February break yet?
