Don't Worry - Only 35 Weeks to Go - Be Happy

It is Friday afternoon at the end of the first week - only 35 weeks to go!

We got an email from our principal yesterday to send in our personal and professional goals. I promptly sent mine back. My personal goal was to: Not have a personal goal, but to be happy and contented with myself. Then it hit me that that was a goal, so DAMN!! I already messed that up, but send button had been hit.

By the end of the day we had another email saying 'put our personal and professional goals on the attached form', so I was able to adjust my personal goal - while remaining happy and contented. The form had columns: goal/s, strategy, resources, assessment strategy, date of completion.
I based new wording for my personal goal on Bobby McFerrin's tune, "Don't Worry, Be Happy". I started to put my strategy would be to imagine administrative bureaucracy and cock-ups were water and I was a duck's back, but opted for something a little less controversial. Resources were listed as an occasional SalvaVida (local Honduran beer).

I have 4 student computers in my classroom. They have a special username for students, but for a week now I have not been able to get the password so students can use them. The tech coordinator (who comes 25 miles from San Pedro) was in my classroom to look at the computers. He then looked at me and said I would need to go to the internet site and fill in a work request for him to give me the password. Time for this duck to take his back home and pull a couple of resources out of the refrigerator.
