Wait and see

well, I called the travel agent today, to be sure that they know to double check my flights and to call me of an 'unusual' cancellations or changes. I'm also checking the news and we got the Bolivian paper "El Deber" online. We'll call Bolivia tonight to get some advice.
So what to do now? Got a last minute request so must head off to Meijer to pick up something and maybe a few extra Daniel may need as he sits home this next two weeks. When you can't make a decision - just go shopping!
All my papers are graded. Most grades an easy compute - it's just those 59%ers that bug me. Do they deserve an E ? Can I justify a D-? Off course if it's only a marking period grade that's not so pressing, but a semester grade? Now some teachers tell me there is a new way to figure the grade. I tried both ways - for one student the old way gets me 60% and the new 59% . I've got to sleep on that one, especially since this student already failed the first semester. Maybe being out of town looks better than I thought. You may think I'm a coward in facing parents - you're right. Having been a parent in all kinds of situations with my differing children has made me wary (yes, I said wary, not weary, but I guess I have been both! sorry kids)
