So today wasn't quite as bad as yesterday. Still spent most of the day pouting about my state assessment scores. Oh and found out yet another one of my students did not pass. So that's 10 now. I've made the conscious decision to stop worrying about it. I can't change it now. I did what I could. I will learn from it and become a better teacher. There were a lot of other factors that came into play other than my teaching and I need to quit beating myself up. Besides tomorrow is Friday and I have a great weekend to look forward to.
A few weeks ago I was telling Brian that I don't miss him being in California but I do miss being able to go visit California. It was nice having a little mini vacation every so often when I would go out and visit. We got to do all sorts of neat stuff that I'd never done before and it was great getting away. So we decided in order to feel like we're getting away we're going to take turns planning one weekend a month for us to get out of town and do something fun. This weekend is Brian's turn. He'd been talking since last week about how excited he was for his plans and how awesome it would be. He had 2 ideas and would have to see what the weather would be like before he could decide. Yesterday he told me that it looked like neither of his plans were going to work. The first plan was to rent kayaks from KU's rec services and go out to Clinton, but the weather won't be good for that on Saturday. The other plan was to go to the Boulevard Brewery and go on a tour, but when he looked into that he found you have to make reservations 3 months in advance! So I suggested that we do my weekend instead. I had been doing a little research and had found what I wanted to do in May and there was no reason it wouldn't work for us this weekend. So on Saturday we're going out to Somerset Vineyard and Winery in Somerset, Kansas. It's about an hour south of here. We're going to do wine tasting and tour the vineyard. They are having some cool events there this weekend we'll check out too. It should be really fun.
Then Saturday night I have Jessica's bachelorette party in Topeka. Brian is coming too and is going to smoke meat with Dad while the girls go out. Good time for future father in law, son in law bonding. :o)
So. Too many things to look forward to this weekend for pouting. I'm over it.
Amen Sister! Life is too short to sweat the small stuff! And I bet you won't even remember that year that 10 kids failed at math...instead you'll remember that awesome trip you took with Brian and how drunk you got to forget about the 10 kids who failed! Haha!
