A bus ride

Snow-boy ... I would have liked that snow day (yesterday) better if had been a snow day, yet as a Wednesday it was still pretty good. Ive an essay due today that I started yesterday, first-drafted by nine and final pencil version was done by 830 this morning.

All because of a little bit of snow that kept students out of their school and thus outside of the gym after the school day as well.

Also, tutoring was postponed until tonight.

[I started this this morning, I've picked it up again sitting on the bus en route to bball prac]

We had a class today on Amish communities and I doodled an Amish man on my feedback sheet. The class is usually boring and I get all my best doodles done during it. I told my art teacher this through my reflection paper and she wrote back that I was "too funny". I had a teacher in Gr 11 who would give us bonus marks for doodles we added to tests or in class assignments.

I think I'll do that in my own class, in fact I may do that in my next placement.

At practice tonight I'm going to have them moving with more conviction and more speed. Not dashing around like maniacs, but when the whistle goesthe balls stop, when I call for a huddle they won't walk or lag. If anyone does we'll do three push ups together, and we'll keep doing it till we move the speed I want us to.

That's one goal for today, I'll set a second one before the bus ride ends.
