So, we are done with our regular season in hoops. We won decidedly last night and finished fourth in the conference. We play our first playoff game at home on Monday. We will be playing the same team we beat last night. Should (hopefully) go well. In other news, teaching is going well. I’m enjoying […]

Sweep
Last night, we defeated our cross-county rivals, the Starmount Rams, for the second time this season, giving us the sweep for the regular season. It was a very assuring 15 point victory. Especially because after our last 15 point victory, it was rumored that their coach was making the claim that we may be better […]
Nerds
We started our new semester last week. I am no longer teaching 2 classes of Algebra Ia and one class of Algebra II. I have made the switch to one class of Precalculus and 2 of Algebra II. It’s very sweet. My new kids are nerds. They like math. They like school. They like to […]
Windy
so, it was pretty windy over the weekend. and our basketball blew over. onto my truck. good times.
It All Comes Down To This
My semester is over. Just two days of intense testing to round it out. I was at school until 8:00 pm giving some last minute cram sessions to some Algebra II students. I am a little worried that they aren’t as prepared as last year. We did lose two days to snow (but, never fear, […]
No More North Face
When I returned to school after Christmas, it seemed like every other kid had a North Face Denali fleece. Furthermore, most of them were pink or light yellow or lavender. Not your typical outdoor/hiker shades. After another teacher strolled in with a fashionably PLUM NF fleece, I decided that mine (red) must go. I hopped […]
Back to School…
We started back today. One day before the general population had to return to their respective jobs. I think it’s a conspiracy to allow parents one “kid-free” vacation day during the Christmas break. Actually, I could care less. I have the entire summer off, so the sooner we start back, the sooner I am basking […]
Some Updates
In recent news: Our hoops team is 8-2. We play tomorrow night against an atrocious team, so we should (barring a complete meltdown) go to 9-2. Wednesday, we play Lexington, where I started my teaching career. And then suspended it a few weeks later. I got two A’s in my two classes. It’s official. We […]
Let it Ice
We had our first school cancellation today. There’s about a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of ice on everything outside. It’s nice. The ice is Lucy’s worst enemy. She runs out onto the deck to go in the backyard and slides all over the place. This makes her quite apprehensive about trekking the staircase. Many […]
Good and Busy
This past week was CRAZY! We had three games: Tuesday we played Alexander Central, on the road, and defeated them handily. I think we shot about 80 times. On, Wednesday we played East Forsysth at home and beat them in a close one (31-29). It should not have been close. We played terribly. Last night […]
