My day yesterday absolutely SUCKED!! Here's why:

1. My lesson for Geography sucked... I planned to show a video, but the recording was horrible and you couldn't hear it at all.
2. So, when I taught Geography for the second time that day, I had nothing planned and my "wing-it" lesson sucked...
3. In that class, my students were absolutely horrible...
4. In that class, the classroom assistant decided to "take over" by writing things on the board, giving students answers and doing one girl's homework for her (the homework that she hadn't turned in two months ago and was reprimanded by the Head of Dept to have it in TOMORROW!!)
5. I didn't get to eat lunch because I was tutoring...
6. I didn't get to eat breakfast because I was running late...
7. I didn't get a break because I was running around between the two buildings...
8. It's time for grades and everyone is in a panic...
9. I've got a TON of stuff to mark (stuff that I have been told to wait and test them this week), so its not even like I've had it and have just been lazy about grading it...
10. My week ones are rough, anyway...

If you add to it the fact that the computer network died two weeks ago and I have not been able to use my laptop since before I left for Wales. The guys came out Tuesday to fix the problem, and it was working fine when they left, but somewhere between 5:30 and 9:30, my laptop connection pooped-out!

Then, I found out yesterday that the Mediterranean Highlights trip has been cancelled by the company that runs it. I'm sure I can find something else to do, but I was really looking forward to that trip!

It was a very disappointing day all around, but I survived. I layed on the couch and watched "Sex and the City." And today, I still have plenty of marking to do, but my computer is up and running (for the time being) and I don't have to teach any classes tomorrow!! Yea!!
