Trimester winding down

For a prof, this is a great time of the year. My first trimester at Baptist College is winding down. Next week is Thanksgiving,my favorite holiday, and there are no classes W,R,F or Sat. Then, two more weeks of classes and FINAL Exams! I usually have all my grades ready, then plug in the final scores and BAM, I am finished! Of course, it is about this time that those students not doing so well start to panic and begin begging for extra credit or additional make up work. I always say the same thing, "extra credit is like extra money, I never have either", so they get the point. But it looks like my API class will be mostly B's and I hope not to have to fail anyone in Patho, but it looks iffy for a couple of students. Micro I think all will pass.

So, lab is over, and I am FREE from work until Monday. Of course, I always take something home to work on for Sunday. It helps me stay a few steps ahead and that is something that I need to do. Next trimester, I will have all my lectures essentially done on powerpoint, so I will have must less busy work to do each week.

UK is getting stomped by Georgia in the third quarter, which is no surprise, but Vandy is actually ahead of Tennessee, which I hope Vandy can win. Ohio St. ahead of Michigan, but it is close and tonite the battle for South Carolina pits Clemson against USC in Columbia. My son will be at the game and I really hope SC wins big! One regret I have and will always have is not being able to go to games with my son. We went to a few games when he was younger, but we could be having so much fun going to big games now that he is 14! Oh well, I have to believe I did the right thing by getting out of that marriage in the long run, right?

Gots to go, grab some brewskies and watch me some FOOTBALL!

Good day
