Wow...what a week!

This has turned out to be quite a week. Last Thursday we were all following hurricane ike wondering where it was going to wreak havoc. After much debate they decided to cancel school last Thursday to let everyone prepare for what was/was not coming. Because of school being cancelled on Friday, the hurricane coming, us living in a 3rd floor apartment, etc. we decided to pack up and go to Lockhart for the weekend. We packed in a hurry so that we could make it to see the Lions play Travis at Burger Center in Austin. Friday night we went to Kyle to hang out and have dinner with Nic and Jo. We spent the rest of the weekend relaxing and watching the Weather Channel as much as possible. Sunday evening we headed home and I got a call that school was cancelled for Monday because there was no power in Caldwell. Ok, I thought, we will now be 2 days behind in lesson plans...then got another call on Monday that school was cancelled for Tuesday, because there was still no power. Then on Tuesday I got a call that said school was cancelled until further notice. Geez, College Station got hit harder than Caldwell and we have power...what is going on...Well, it turns out that Caldwell is on the same power grid as Beaumont so that pretty much explained it. Caldwell finally got power yesterday afternoon and the teachers reported back today to prepare for tomorrow. It acutally turned out for the best. We lost a week of instruction, but will pick up where we left off on our lesson plans, Friday being our test day. We will definitely be doing some major reviewing before all our tests, because they have lost a week of routine, and I can almost guarantee that they will have to be reminded about everything including how to sharpen their pencil...the first week of school all over again. Thanks to hurricane ike us teachers got a much needed break-one that we will not have to make up!

This weekend...Aggie Football. I pray that we don't get murdered by Miami! I'm very nervous and would almost rather sell my ticket and watch it on TV if it indeed turns out to be brutal. We shall see...Until then Gig'Em Ags! BTHO Miami!
