Wow! Please, Lord, do not try to top this one. Fire, tragic losses, consolidation, possible strike, four new preps to teach, smoke, heat issues with the building, overzealous fire marshal, plague ... this year has been ... challenging.
Technically, the school year ended yesterday. Today, I turned in my grades, keys, and sign-out sheet, but I'm still working with my AP students (whose test was this morning). We have a debriefing session tomorrow. I am supposed to be able to see their essays by the 26th (and check for signs of plagiarism). I was just asked by the company in charge of the Reading if I was willing to score essays for up to 11 days instead of the initial 7 (and for more hours per day). That will be in mid June. My students should have their scores in the middle of July, and I will set up times then to talk about their scores and their essays and see if we need to contest the score given to them or not.
Otherwise, I'm done for the school year. Aside from that meeting tomorrow, I'm planning on taking this weekend (including Monday) off entirely--well, except for picking out and practicing music for Sunday's mass. On Tuesday, I get back to work on the proposal for my doctoral study.
