Feb. 3rd, 2005 07:15 amGot 50 minutes on the machine yesterday. And worked up a sweat, too. For all exercises save one, i either added more resistence or more reps, or both.
From the scarey shall come some good. As a result of Sarah's incident last week, she is now getting, help from social services, ot, and pt. Of course that means that the meds she is now on are doing more to her body than controlling the seizures, so it is a double-edged sword.
Went into the office yesterday, revised the sample paper for the students. Last semester i realized i can't expect the students to write well formed paragraphs if the example they have to follow doesn't have well formed paragraphs. i don't like that sentence. So, i did what i tell my students not to do, i.e., count the number of sentences. For them, a good para. should consist of between 7 and 12. Each sentence will probably have between 7-15 words. The paper we created out of thin air was lacking in both respects, so i added more hot air too it. It sounds pretty good. Created a rubric for their oral at the end of the semester and now the only thing that is a must do is the new mid term exam. i have a vision for it, i just haven't put it to paper yet. i see it as lasting either three hours or two class periods. Haven't got that part ironed out yet.
There is a different navy boat out front today. Smaller. i wonder if that means the threat has lessened?
i have must do stuff to read this week. i'm back in student mode. Assigned materiala gets put off till the absolute last minute. i know that isn't the best way to go about things. i tell the stu's not to do that, yet here i am, not practicing what i preach. Well actually maybe i am. i have given myself an artificial deadline so that, in fact, i will more than meet the real one. But already i am dreading the conference in March, ack!, that's next month already!
