testing with altoids

Hallelujah to finishing my first and biggest final that may have ended up being less complex than I thought. All those lengthy avid tutorials that I put together each week really came in handy because I ended up remembering a lot of the small details that I tried to teach to the others from previous works and weeks. Furthermore, not pulling all-nighters anymore and studying on a daily basis with excessive research on yahoo websites and Sparknotes while playing Quizlet.com games helped me out a bunch. So Ms. Moneymaker just hopped on my likable-teachers-train again. It's these little things that she does and says that make me change my mind about her as an English teacher from time to time. This morning she told us that eating strong mints before taking a test is supposed to help improve 10 % of the outcome of the test grade. I actually heard that line before, but except it was about gum and not Altoids. But if you know me, I do not chew gum, so five points for Ms. Moneymaker for not mentioning gum because we are not all gum chewers. I trusted her and took two this morning. I don't know if they actually helped for the test, but they helped for my sore throat and waked my drowsiness.

Today I started my walk home at 10 AM because the Special Ed class started at an earlier schedule; so I was off to freedom Day 1 early. But when I got home, all I did and all I could do was lay under the warm blanket of mine, catch up on the Glee holiday episode, and run a marathon with the latest episodes of Season 3 of 90210. That is correct--sick, but caught up. I made myself a cup of hot chocolate, and had a cup of soup and some wheat crackers for lunch. So this describes my tiring and sick Wednesday morning and afternoon.

Tonight I must prepare for my Sociology presentation. Good luck to all who still have to prepare for written tests. Hang in there. Listen to the Christmas stations. They have at least ten different ones on radio.com under the Holiday Music/Christmas Music category-- not that I would know.
