Well, I've been rather quiet on this thing recently. My apologies.
I am currently in the middle of my first Boston snow storm. It started snowing around 1pm and has snowed heavily since. My commute home at around 3 took about an hour - 40 minutes longer than usual. Not bad at all considering my roommate who is trying to commute out of the city sat on a bridge for at least an hour... and she's still not home yet. The problem is, everyone got out of school and work early and headed out at the same time. The result - gridlock. Gridlock means no plows. No plows mean slippery/buried roads. Welcome to the city.
My 9th grade girls had a study day today for their test next week. In an attempt to lighten the mood (lots of tests this week and next + lots of snow outside), I played Christmas music during the class. It was a big hit. Appropriate, too, considering Christmas is in 12 days (ahhh!).
Yesterday, both the boys and girls varsity basketball teams played at LCA, the largest Christian school in the area. Our girls lost by 8 but our boys won by 15, a big victory for our school because we're so new. I love watching my students play sports. They're so fun.
3 school days and a half day of Christmas activities stand between me and Christmas break, and Margie B. Davis is coming for the weekend. Things are looking good.
