It's what life is all about these days. The end of the semester brings projects and tests galore. I loved our 3rd year fairy tales today; the students really came through on the costumes. Now if they had just asked me more questions about pronunciation for the narration! Younger Daughter is in Mid-Term H*ll right now; she makes me nervous with her talk of the tests being "dumb and hard." That's usually code speak for not doing well on them. At least, Ashley passed this, she came home for Winter Break sure she had bombed it. (the class at the Alliance Francaise was expensive, but worth it because the DELF B2 is hard!) Now she just has to concentrate on her thesis and avoid getting caught up in cute kitty videos on the internet. ;) Some of you have asked me about Mr. Stargazer and how he's feeling/doing; the answer is bored, but fine. He needs and wants work! One of his jobs here that fell through might be back on though. As for his on-going tests, he'll have a CT in February to see what's going on in there; although it won't show cancer, they'll be able to spot any growth or change from his baseline one in September. And the insurance won't want to approve the extremely expensive PET scan unless there is a reason or suspicion. I don't feel nervous yet, more like resigned to climbing back on that roller coaster. Speaking of medical issues, I did send a letter about this scary insurance bill to our legislators then told our union president about it in an e-mail. Her immediate response: "Margaret, please let me get you released Tuesday to go talk to Senator K." The problem is that I need to be at school for testing and end of the semester *stuff.* I'm kind of worried about my tendency lately to become High Profile. In my district, it's way better(and safer) to keep one's head down and one's mouth shut. Oops.
