Last Week of Spring Semester '14

Well... well... well...

We are in the home stretch of the spring semester.  Next Monday and Tuesday are the last days of the semester.  I had given a final last Friday. This Thursday will be my second final.  Then there'll be five more finals and presentations for next week.

I have been such a scatter-brain this semester!!!  I think seven preps is too much for me. I like variety and change, but my oh my... I am disappointed in how some of my classes went this semester... I was hoping to have some different classes for next semester, but nope!  I allowed myself to be hopeful for something that I knew that couldn't happen... Oh well...

Don't worry... I did get to enjoy some of my classes... I'm optimistic about next semester, but I'm also freaking out about one class that I have to teach!!!

Did I mention that next semester will be my last semester in Japan? I've decided to return to the good ol' U.S. of A. I'm not sure what that entails, but I'm going to look for a middle school math teacher position.  I'm interested in teaching in the public school. I hope I can get a job lined up for Fall 2015, after I return to the States.

Recently, I've been volunteering more. It started off with the kids English Camp back in March.  Then last month I volunteered to play basketball with young athletes with mental disabilities. Then this past weekend I played soccer with kids with down syndrome.  I plan to attend other volunteer activities next month. I hope I can continue other volunteer activities in the fall after summer break.
