Catching up?

So yesterday I stayed at work for almost 11 hours but I finally saw the light of day through the piles of papers to grade. This morning I skipped the gym to come in early. And I am finally feeling a little less behind.

Unfortunately I am still not feeling great physically. I just haven't felt good all week. Which my students have decided means I have swine flu...even though the symptoms are really not all similar to the symptoms in influenza. To a 17 year old right now anyone sick with anything must have swine flu.

We have also implemented procedures to keep the flu (which as far as we know no one has) from being transmitted at school. So we have hand sanitizer by every door. And spray sanitizer for all of the desks, chairs, etc. and sanitizing wipes for the computer keyboards, mice, inside of the laptops, the phones and whatever else we feel should be sanitized. And we are keeping the windows open to allow for air flow in the classrooms.

But then we have to remember to close and lock every window before we leave, after we have sanitized every possible thing in our classroom.

sigh...

The paper chain on the wall says only 18 more days of work before it is summer...
