One day and seven classes to go

It started out pretty good today.  I'm trying to cover as much as I can in biology since I'm not going to have time to cover the animal kingdom like I would like to.  So, I figured the best way to cover echinoderms and arachnids was to watch videos.  We watched a very cool movie on National Geographic about people eating tarantulas.  I took up textbooks and only have about 4 students who owe me books.  These books are so old that I don't think they will have to pay for them if we don't find them.  I made out my physics and zoology final exams today.  Since I was in such a good mood when I made them out, I even put the page numbers that the answers are on beside most of the questions.  Can you tell that I really don't want to fail a senior?  Anyway, I did have a write up today.  One of my students, Fred 11, wanted to go to another teacher's room.  I told him he would have to wait until the end of class and he got upset.  He turned around and said, "F*ck this sh*t!" and slammed his book down on the desk.  Funny thing, when I took him to the office, he swore he didn't say that.  He claimed he said "Screw it."  I told him I heard him.  He still denied it.  Principal is now trying to get witnesses who heard him say it.  Some people would think it would upset me that he lied, but I figure if it were me, I'd probably lie my pants off to stay out of trouble.  Especially when it means I wouldn't be exempt for finals.  Twelve classes to go.  That's right.  I no longer track time by days, it is down to classes.  Woop!
