One of my huge pet peeves is this:
you just finish a large assignment, or two, or a few that are due on the same day. You breathe a sigh of relief as you turn them in. Then, as class lets out, you realize . . .
1. you forgot to turn in your math homework yesterday. now you have to go do the computer assignment part of it (5 minutes when the math teacher gives you the correct notes for the day you missed) and turn it in
2. you have 150 pages of reading for English lit b/c you're behind
3. you have to write curriculum for your activity with the middle schoolers tomorrow afternoon
4. you have a bio club activity tonight that you can't miss
I think I'm big on extra-curriculars . . . it's a little crazy here right now. I promise more rants fueld by NYTimes articles and random reflections soon, but not until the homework craziness is done.
