School’s back for me: six weeks of Monday through Thursday classes followed by six weeks of Tuesday/Thursday classes and then I’m done!  My last three classes are the introductory classes that I should have taken at the beginning of my first semester here (I joined NHU after the first six week module in the fall, so I missed these classes).  These classes are now ridiculously simple for me and I find that I really don’t want to attend.  They’re sort of a waste of time for me now.  My teachers know this too so I’ve sort of become a T.A. for them and they’re cutting me a lot of slack.

My bronchitis continues.  It’s very hard to shake.  All week I’ve been coughing, especially in the evenings when I have classes.  As a result, I decided to take it easy on my substitute schedule.  I only worked on Monday and Friday in classes that I knew to be excellent.  After Monday’s sub job had totally wiped me out, I was going to take the rest of the week off, but my favorite Art teacher at the High School called me personally and asked if I could fill-in.  A request like that is hard to turn down.  We watched “Life of Pi” while most of her classes went with her on a field trip.

Over the weekend, I will try to rest.  My wife and daughter are going camping while my son and I stay home for this three day weekend.
