The View from the Cheap Seats

Well, the year here at the school is rapidly coming to a close. The amount of activity in my office had gone up daily, along with my work load. Students are trying to get out of doing things they need to. Teachers are trying to wrap-up the year and prepare for the summer break they hoped for. I watch as the life of the school goes by 1 period at a time. The flow of the students, the strange topics and the plans being made for when this school year is over.

The one constant I have noticed, is how many people seem to care about my future. I know I used to Sub here over the years, but this year its really touching to me how much other members of this faculty seem to care about my future and hope that I find what I am looking for, a class of my own. I thank them for that.

The event of the week, was when the IT department got ticked off at the teachers and students, by cutting off access to all websites that concern gaming and streaming radio and TV. Current events could suffer from the lack of streaming video access that teachers have now. Students might not be able to find fun ways to learn lessons, and what will teachers do with their free time after school, except work in silence.

As for my gaming life this week, its been mostly alot of WoW, with some EvE as well, mostly training my learning skills in EvE to make other skills easier to learn. In WoW, I got a few more achievements done, most with the Agrent Tourney going on and got the Spore people in Outland done as well, very cute little bat pet. I even got to go raid naxx this week, it had been about a month since my last visit, so it was good to pick up raiding again with friends.

It is only 2 weeks till my Seniors graduate from High School. I am filled with great joy and the feeling of....man I feel old. This will be the 4th year I've seen Students of mine walk, and it never gets easier to to see it, but it is always good to see the ones you worried about through out the years go across with a smile on their face. I will get usually 1-5 thank yous a year as a teacher for all I've given to students and everything thing else, but i find those thank yous to be the greatest gift my students can ever give me.

Until we meet again, remember, the experiences we have shape who we are, the more we learn and know, the better shaped we are. have fun and take care.
