24 May 2019 - Finals

Next week is my last week of teaching, at least on a regular
schedule, like I have been. I've already promised to come back
next year to do a few seminar-type classes on different types of
literature and reading for boys.
Because BCA is all grades, things work a bit differently for us
than the public schools. On the other hand, the high school,
middle school, and elementary are mostly separated from each
other. I mention this, because today starts finals for the high
school. In my case, we've been doing presentations all week,
either themes, book reports, or both. Today, I have the kids
doing work sheets as a review for the final - something they can
take home with them to study. We're about to go over it now, so
everyone is sure what I'm expecting, if not of the actual
answers.
I'm feeling kind of torn right now. I've been really busy most
of this year , especially this semester. It's worn me down a
lot. On the other hand, even without the opportunities to
paddle, I've enjoyed the time I've spent teaching. On the other
other hand, while I wish Josh had stayed with me, I've enjoyed
being back in the comic stores. While summer will be nice -
spending time with the kids outside the school environment, it's
also going to be nice to get back to a looser schedule and
having a bit more time to myself.
As for now, let's see if I can pour just a bit more knowledge
into a bunch of hyperactive heads.

I love how things are working out for you. It's good to have
options. Like this but also like that. This works but also
that. Now you know over the summer, more opportunities will
spring up and you will have to make decisions on What you can
do, What you want to do, and What you have to do. You are a man
blessed with multiple talents and skills. That type of man is
always in high demand. Have fun this summer. Enjoy the
scenery. Enjoy some time to yourself. Enjoy the time with the
boys.
