Papers, tests and recruiting

Over the past couple of days, I’ve sort of just done homework and nothing else.  I’m now ahead of most of my classmates, but in truth, I won’t be there for long.  I have two field trips to go on next week and foreign exchange students from the Philippines arriving on Saturday and staying for a week.  I don’t expect to get much done next week – a week that’s filled with presentations and papers (that I must complete tomorrow, since it’s about the only time I can!).

This evening, I took the midterm in my Inclusion class.  I got an A-, which I’m not too pleased with, but it was a fair grade.  Conversely, one of my papers was deemed so good that the teacher made a copy so she could use it as an example for future classes.  I also got credit for two papers instead of one because I went way overboard on the paper, and it just happened to fulfill the requirements of another assignment.  It was a good evening!

While I was away at class this evening, my son went to the Air Force recruiter.  He absolutely blew-away the preliminary test that all military folks have to take, so chances are that, should he pass the physical (which he should), he can pick any job he wants… if he gets in.  I had warned him not to sign anything, but I forgot to tell him what the Air Force is looking for, and what things they don’t accept (the list is actually quite long – most applicants fail the initial screening by the recruiter).  If they call him back and ask for him to continue the process, I’ll see it as a good thing.
