Relief!

March 15 came and went without drama. Now, this might be normal in most people's lives, but in mine, it means I'll have a job next year, hopefully at the same school where I teach now. Layoff notices were due yesterday, and I didn't get one. No one even mentioned it, and since they were supposed to be given to us on the 15th and it is now the 16th

Congratulations! I, on the other hand, did my final proctoring of the final yesterday. As soon as I am done grading/filing the grades by tomorrow, I will be done with my duties as a TA for this academic year (since I am on a half-year contract; the school isn't rich, and besides, I told them that would be fine because I need what little experience I can get, but I also need time to do my own studying!). Though I enjoyed teaching I am glad to have the next quarter to focus on my studies...

Science projects? How about something that involves things exploding? Nuclear fission? No?
But seriously, I enjoyed melting certain rocks using HCl. But that may be a tad dangerous for little kids...

Can you take them to JPL?

On a totally different note, my spring break is next week, and I am still hoping to be able to visit So-Cal (nothing definite yet, since I don't have a plane ticket yet; I am hoping to get those "last minute" cheap tickets). Are you going to be around early next week?

No exploding stuff. It's not in the standards I have to teach.

Yes, I'll be around next week - it's my spring break too! Yay! I'll be working like crazy to get the science lessons planned and to get the kids grades into the computer. They are due when we get back to school. And I'm going to try to get household things accomplished - car serviced etc. No rest for the tired! Well, a little rest. I get to sleep in for a whole week! Started today, in fact. See the big smile?? I'm NOT tired!!

Hey, I just booked my flight for So Cal - I fly out tonight! (last minute deal, thus affordable).
I am supposed to meet a friend on Sunday. Are you busy Monday or Tuesday, during the day or in the evening? I have some stuff to return to you.
