Hey! Just wandering into let you know I’m doing a slight adjustment to the posting schedule for the next few weeks. I’m hoping it’s just through the end of May, but it’s possible it might go a week into June.
I might have bitten off a little more than I could chew in May, lol. In my defense, my students completely forgot how to work independently over the last week or so. They can smell the break coming. I used to have about 10-15 minutes during each class where I could just do admin work like grading, organizing content, etc. but now it’s zero, so instead of using my prep and lunch for my college class, I’m scrambling to get the second week of work done by tomorrow night. Plus, like I said, the kids are just off the wall and I really wasn’t expecting the level of behavior issues I’ve had this week. I’ve been tired, migraines, TMJ, just ugh. Not great.
ANYWAY. I figure most of this will resolve itself as we move through these rougher almost done but not quite there weeks. June 3 begins the last full week of classes and ironically because the kids can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel and not just sense it, they do tend to calm down. (I am praying).
I’m keeping Flash Fiction on Mondays. Wednesday and Fridays will be optional as time and energy allows. Check my Twitter for updates, subscribe to the blog to get emailed, or just wander onto the site when you can. And it goes without saying, I’m not updating tonight.

It’s funny how they get so wild and then calm down towards the end. My students wouldn’t even show up the last few days. You’re almost done. Hang in there!!
The semester is coming to an end soon.
