The past two mornings I've woken with teaching on the brain. Yesterday I was wide awake at 4:43 sharp, excited for the new keynote presentation I was going to give my College Comp class on the personal essay (it went over quite well). Today I woke at the same time thinking how to improve my senior English class.

Mercifully, our football season is at an end. 1-7. Ouch. As I've said all along, the players are great kids - from singing me happy birthday after our first scrimmage to turning in equipment Tuesday night. Great, great kids. But as football players with the necessary intensity and aggressiveness, they have a loooooong way to go.

Yesterday was the first day without football practice right after school. I cannot explain how nice it was not to have to rush down to the lockerroom to get changed and head out for two hours of practice. I forgot how much I was able to get done in that hour after school.
