Almost over

Two more days of Physics class, three more days of Music class. Then it's over until the Freeport treks begin on August 18.

I've got one test in Physics (the sit-down class) and two more in Music (the sit-on-my-ass class), plus a concert paper. Luckilly I have all of Tuesday off of work, so I can get caught back up on Music stuff. I work Wednesday, and only work for two hours on Thursday. I can only hope that I get everything wrapped up by then. It will create a huge sigh of relief.

Then I can't wait to turn my attention to putting out more content on NISB. I can't wait to make more travels to places I've never seen and meet people I've never met. But first I have to pray that I will get Friday nights off.

I'm closing the store 4-5 days a week, plus stubs like the two-hour day. I don't like working that much, especially when I am traveling and going to school. Apparently I'm too good. But I can't let work and school take over my life. I have to have something else going on, and that's what NISB, message board postings, and family activities are there for.

There was an interesting discussion in my Physics class, not about physics, but about all these new teachers at SHS. My physics teacher, Mrs. Gatz, was my high school physics and physical science teacher. She's been there 21 years, and it surprises her to know that 70% of the teachers at SHS are non-tenured. Of the 30 teachers I had at SHS, 19 are now gone. That's all within the last seven years. My dad would always remark if a certain teacher was "still there" from his days at SHS (early 1980s). I can't do that now. There was a sense of security when I was in high school because my dad knew who was teaching me. Not even I know who's teaching Daniel.
