PSAT
So today we herded 700 of our 1600 students into various classrooms around the building. I'm pretty sure all pods were used. The remaining teens hung out in the auditorium where they watched The Dark Knight. I'm a little surprised they showed that movie, but since I was one of the many proctors for the PSAT, it didn't really affect me.

apparently I'm sneaky
My seventh period was working on an individual activity at their desks; I was walking around the room and looking at papers to provide help if needed and direct students in the right direction. A few desks ahead of me, I noticed Pablo glancing around. I walked up close to him and gave him a questioning look ( Read more... ) -
minions

Longest distance I've run in months. 5K this weekend. -
training
I found a 5K on July 4th that Meg and I can run together. The only snafu? I haven't done any major running in months; even during track season, I didn't get a lot in.
Monday: 1/2 mile morning run, 1 1/4 evening run (all distances approximates)
Tuesday: 1 mile morning run, 2 hills
Wednesday: just under 2 mile morning run, 2 hills -
more uniforms
Yay, got another few in! -
another national park
Today was the first Saturday in a long time that I had a free day. I went to a book sale at the library (bought a whole stack of books :). I then drove over to Oxen Hill Farm and saw a few cows. It was odd to see planes coming in for landings so close to a historical farm. I spent the afternoon at a co-worker's for a relaxing party. Now I'm ( Read more... ) -
