Geez you know teaching ESL really was a pretty good gig even if that is all it was. Great work schedule especially. Take it seriously, and in your time off do something to add to your resume.

This week I have been up until 12 am and then up again at 5 am grading math tests and preparing to write the first draft of some final exams. Not having fun!

That's too bad. Why are you doing all this extra work? My guess is you're really not getting paid for it.

Don't be a slave.

Not extra work it is just part of teaching Grade 12 math courses. Very tiring but it should get better the next time around.

My last 2-weeks have been pretty sweet. Last week, my MS had mid-terms, so I had Tuesday morning and all day Friday off. This week, my HS had their mid-terms so, no classes all week except the MS on Tuesday morning. Today was also my HS's 25th birthday. Another day off. If my 15:00 CA class is cancelled tomorrow, which it frequently is, I'll be finishing at 13:00.
