Today was about as easy a day as I could have. Read 180 first, followed by my senior English class which was a repeat of the credible sources and senior letter activities from yesterday, iPass, prep, then the Read 180 lab where the kids read and then wrote on random topics of my choosing. I was able to get quite a bit done on my prep, and the ocean of grading I was drowning in could probably be downgraded to just a large lake. It "rained' yesterday and today, so the water rose a bit. I think it will all be evaporated by Sunday night though. Tomorrow, there will be no more rain, and we will be discussing how to cite a source. Riveting information that I'm sure they will be on the edge of their seats for. It will be so engaging they will forget about the pep session and first football game of the season. Hey, one can dare to dream.
We had our first away game tonight, and we played at a place that not only had we never won, but our last three games there had some of the craziest events I've seen in soccer. One year, we out shot them 25-2, hitting the post 6 times, and lost 1-0. Another, we were "rained out" by a 2 hour lightning storm that produced nay a drop of water. Our last game there saw us tie the game with 1 minute left, take a lead in overtime, and have the tying goal bounce over my keeper's head on a shot from 50 yards with 28 seconds left on the clock. It was like my own personal Twilight Zone. We finally exorcised our demons tonight, winning at Roncalli 3-1! As great as today has been, I'm so looking forward to my 6+ hours of sleep tonight.
