Well the school year is ticking down, but I already got my schedule for next year. Besides the classes that I teach now, they're also giving me a Shakespeare class for seniors, and a more prominent role in the teaching academy. It's a little extra work, but it'll help break up the monateny of the day I think. Now I just need to decide which plays to teach next year for Shakespeare.
I think the end of the year is beginning to get to me though. I've totally lost the ability to spell. Today in class I managed to mispell both differant and opposite in a three minute period while writing on the board. The closer you get to the end, the more your mind wants to check out I think.
Also had more than a few runaway issues to deal with lately, which was a little odd. Three differeant students ran away from home in the past month, although one has returned home since then. You have to go through a whole process though to see if their were any signs of why they ran away, and if you know where they might have gone. In this case, both kind of caught me by surprise. Both students who are still gone had been showing more erratic behavior lately, but I just chalked that up to end of the year symptoms. I hope they're alright, it sucks that they felt they had no choice but to leave their homes.
Other than that, not much happening. I think the rough draft of the screenplay should be wrapped up Sunday, which will help to get the production off the ground. A few more rewrites after that, but it should be a fun little yarn when all is said and done. I've actually warmed to the idea of zombies vs. cowboys.
