End of School 09

Three days left and I still don't know if Sharon will be back with me. I looked over my last year's post about our classes and realized we did exactly what we said we would. Same rules, same classrooms. It worked out great. Now we are sitting on a sea of uncertainty. I hate LAUSD for being so stupid in the way they have run the district these last years. Now we are all paying the price. Our school will not be the same for a long time. We have worked so hard for so long to get us where we are and it will probably not stick. There is too much division and uncertainty among the staff. I have been trusting in God to either make sure she stays or give us the direction he wants us to go. I have to let him lead me, even if it means losing Sharon to something else.

Well I got myself into another mess. I had to learn 77 flash cards of fish and seaweed. I thought I would never get it done and wanted to quit even before I started. It seemed as though I would never get it done. Connie of course wouldn't let me quit, "suck it up buttercup and start studying". I am so glad she did that because I really enjoyed the class and the diving. I have a whole new world opened up to me because of it. I'm the one who wanted to do it and then I almost wimped out. Should teach me to always lead with an open mind and who knows where it will take me. I almost passed all of the tests to be able to do the fish counts and I will with a little more practice. Now I want all my friends to do it with me. I guess I can't have everything at once.
