Two classes complete--just in time!

I start teaching in ten days, and I've got two of my five classes from this semester completely done. The list is short for completing the other three courses, but I can't accelerate the calendar any faster for those assignments. I've got two presentations and two tests.

I met my new department chair on Tuesday, and we talked about my classes. I got teacher's editions of books, decided where we'll start each class on Monday, the 29th, and set goals for what each class will learn before Christmas. It's going to be a crazy time!

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I'm thankful for all the people who have worked to make this semester more manageable for me, most of all Keith and my mom. They have offered to help me with a lot of things, and the offers have made so much difference in my sanity. My brother has also been awesome to talk to as he works through his classes, too. We've commiserated together and celebrated together, and it's been good to share the journey with him.

I'm also thankful for a paying job. I'm going to teach math, and Keith has decided to teach special education. With those choices, we hope to always have jobs when we want them. I get to get paid for my student teaching, and Keith gets to go to school this spring. We're quite happy with our upcoming arrangement!
