Rain Rain Go Away!

Yuck all of this rain is definitely not a great way to start the week. I keep hearing good weather is on the way, but all of this rain is making me sleepy and both me and my kids not wanting to be in school (not that I would admit that to them). You can tell we are all ready for April break which luckily starts on Friday. So it will be nice to have the time to regroup, except we do have graduate classes, so it will not be a complete break. I will hopefully start getting my act together in preparing for the application for jobs process. I need to set up an account with a company called Interfolio. It is a company that the MAT program recommends for us to send all of our letters of recommendations and transcripts and the company will compile all the items into one file and when we apply to a job we just tell them who and where to either mail or electronically send what items. That way it all goes and once and we  can pick and choose what items need to be sent and how. It may get a little costly, but having to request transcripts each time as well as letters of recommendations, gets a little crazy so hopefully this will prevent chaos.
  Tonight I start back with my classes so hopefully I can get back into the swing of that quickly, though I must admit it is going to be an adjustment to go back to three classes and my last one each week being Thursday. I was spoiled only having classes Monday and Tuesday last term and now having them Tuesday-Thursday is going to be an adjustment. Luckily though after this term classes are done so I am trying to focus on that.
  We just finished up on our Human Reproduction unit, which I think my students might actually be sad about. Though I started off hesitant about how it would go, I was really glad to see they were excited about a topic and were open and willing to share their questions. It was a good thing to be able to clarify any misconceptions and educate them on things that they had no clue of. It was fun to see them excited and eager to learn. They also asked many questions that I wasn't totally sure about, so it was a great opportunity for me to do further research and come back to report to them.
  That is all for now. Check back in next week!
