It's been forever since I've blogged, I know. What can I say? Life gets in the way!

I have midterm exams this week. Should be interesting! My exam is 24 pages long! Yes, you read it correctly! 24 pages! I have to keep my freshman busy for the entire two hour testing period. The kids are already freaking out over the test - I gave them a study guide to study but I think they will freak out no matter what I do. It's the first time they've ever had an exam of this magnitude. It's good for them!

I also assigned a movie review paper on Elizabeth that was due the end of last week so I have those papers to grade. I've been working on the papers most of the weekend. My semester grades are done with the exception of the movie review papers so all I have to do is plug those numbers into my grading program. I'm using a new grading software package this school year. My school finally decided to invest in GradeKeeper. I like it so far. It's pretty easy to figure out. And, if a kid wants to know their grade right that second, all I have to do is print out a report on their grades.

So, if I'm not blogging or emailing a lot this week, please know that it's because I'm in midterm exam hell and not ignoring you!

Happy testing! :-)
