This past week was pretty decent, a little crazy, but fine overall. It was the week before Spring Break meaning we were all ready to get through it as fast as we could. So, the students were a bit hyper and the teachers were a bit more frantic than usual. To top it off, I gave unit tests in all but one class and had to give standardized tests on Friday in three classes. The unit tests were on par with my students' normal performance. Only time will tell if it was wise to give a standardized test on the Friday before Spring Break or not. They were all pretty focused since I told them I would give them a grade on it once I got the scores. They don't need to know it will be all of 5 points so it can't do any true damage or benefit to their grades. I just needed to make sure they stayed on task for the whole test.
Oh, and we got to end the week on a pretty fun note. We had a Pie the Teacher/Student raffle to kick off our 5K events. One of my juniors decided to pie me. It took awhile to get it all out of my hair, but it was pretty fun and totally worth it. All the teachers and students who got pied were good sports about it.
If anyone would like to register for the 5K or donate to it, that would be fantastic :) A $20 donation will get you a t-shirt that can be shipped/delivered to you. And if you register, you get the t-shirt and a food voucher for the race- and you get to come out and have fun with the students and faculty at my school. We're kind of a big deal :)
The 5K is April 7, 2013. That is a Sunday. Registration starts at 12:45. The race begins at 2pm and all festivities end by 5pm. Here is the link to register or donate. If you do either, please remember to put my name down on the line for the person you know at the school- thanks!

I got some of my regular exercise in and stayed on track with my points for the most part. So, that was successful. I made sure to pre-plan my meals and my snacks which is the main thing for me. I tend to get off track when I don't plan ahead because I start losing track in my head sometimes and forget the exact number of points everything was, especially if I haven't had time to log in and plug in my food.
Now, it's Spring Break and I have planned some things I need to do and want to do for the week. I am staycationing this year and intend to visit a few of my favorite Memphis museums and gardens.
Time to relax and enjoy sleeping in tomorrow :)
