This week was a little different than most. It was different because students returned back from spring break with a whole different attitude students this week just did not want to listen on Monday, regardless of what I was teaching. It became very frustrating but I understood it was nothing personal, but rather they had not seen their friend's for a week and wanted to talk. Also this week started a 2 week rush of information. What I mean is that Monday I talked about Watergate and Nixon, and come Tuesday I will be talking about the end of Reagan and starting Bush. 20 years in a week! We have to rush because in 2-3 weeks or so the students take the TAKS test and a week from now it will be all review. Besides that another successful week and from what I think I have written down somewhere only 5 more weeks left!

I am sure that to a historian like yourself, it is totally frustrating to have to cover 20 years in one week. What a challenge. I'm sure you can do it.
