The end of nine weeks grades were better than the progress report grades. The D/F list has only 22 of the 125 or so students rather than 41. That is a significant improvement. Hopefully they won't get complacent this nine weeks like they started out this year. I've been working much harder than they have.
The diet is not going well. I just can't seem to stay organized enough to control my eating as carefully as I need to in order to lose weight. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
I'm running a virus scan in the background on my computer right now. Our wireless keyboard died on us about 2 weeks ago and the computer has been kind of wacky ever since. I ran a scan of my laptop last night and found a trojan horse--from the replacement wireless keyboard that we couldn't even get to work! I eventually managed to get it quarantined and straightened out. The desktop had the same proces overnight and was o.k. after McAfee did its stuff, but my Blackberry has been acting really odd. It won't let me make or receive calls. I just ran a scan on it and it has the trojan on it too. I haven't figured out how to delete it from the phone yet. I uninstalled the software/drivers for the wireless keyboard and I'm running the scan again...hoping it will detect and quarantine and remove anything left over. Jeesh! I guess I should have spent more money for the higher cost/name brand set when I ran to Walmart at midnight that Sunday evening.
I think I'll go on to bed instead of waiting this scan out. I need to finish reading Wicked. I have a book club group that I'm supposed to be facilitating on Monday or Tuesday--can't remember which day--and I am supposed to have finished it for that. Need to get crackin!
Oh, and I have more than 50 "friends" on facebook now. I started posting hints on my wall for the news quizzes and they are now joining and doing better too. If I can focus them by pointing them in the right news directions, I'm there.
