Carry On, Jeeves by P.D. Woderhouse is my second book of the new year. I wanted something a bit more literary than the mysteries I usually like to read. This book is a bit less than my last one at 245 pages, but as I quest to read a book a week and have at least 2 genres a month, I am doing well.
Tomorrow is my last day with this set of classes. I am sad to lose my advanced students because they are the ones who remind me of why I teach. They call me mom and call my cell phone just to tell me that my car tire looked like it is low on air. They eat lunch in my classroom, raid my own children's stash of snacks, but buy me doughnuts and chocolate just because they think it will make me smile. My first year students on the other hand have been a challenge this semester. I have never had a group that as a whole did not care so much. It has been frustrating.
I love teaching, but this is a semester that I feel like I have not done very well with reaching some or maybe most of the kids...
