Mar. 8th - Sunday.

It may not be time, but....

Beware the Ides of March (March 15).

In Roman times, it might have been a festive day dedicated to the god Mars and a parade was held, but most people usually associate this day: March 15 as the date that Julius Caesar was assassinated. "Et tu Brute?"

Julius Caesar has been on the mind as of late since in my English 2 class, we are actually going to read Julius Caesar. It's going to be an interesting ride. I'm just trying to find out how I'm going to put it in a way that they will understand.

I understand: "Veni, vidi, vici." But how to get the kids to understand it is just another thing entirely. I wish that I could get that across to the kids at some point to: "Obtain the unobtainable. Dare to dream, conquer, and celebrate. Live life to it's fullest!"

But... that's just in one class. The other classes are going to be just as intertaining.

English 1: First we are going over the wonderful story of Helen Keller, then we will be diving into the Epic of Ullysses. Now... that is fun. I love Ullysses! :)

English 3: I know that we need to finish up doing the story : Of Mice and Men. We're actually on the final three chapters of it. I think that they are really getting into it.

English 4: Ohhhh help me. MacBeth. I'm honestly not sure of what to think of MacBeth. I've read it... yes. But do I remember it? No. I can honestly say that I don't. I'll have to study up on that one. So... it's going to be an interesting bumpy ride there. Don't be surprised if I start babbling around the computer with thee's and thou's.

Well, I do know that I'm going to slowly wind down the rest of the year. There are approximately 59 days of school left... only school days. I'm not talking weekends there.

So, we'll see how the rest of the year progresses. I'm just wanting it to be all calm and serene. I don't need anymore stressful moments. I've had enough this year. Honestly.
