HAPPY NEW YEAR, everybody,
It’s been quite a while since I wrote anything here, and I’m a bit stressed that I don’t see much of anything on my scheduled posts list. I’ve been quite busy, and I’m looking forward to… maybe the summer(?) to replenish my scheduled posts list? Hopefully.
I managed to survive the first day of the students being back from the winter break!

I trust everybody is doing well! Ever since the school year started, I’ve been meaning to get SOME positivy journal entries going, but I somehow never got the time to?

Hey there everybody,
How’s it going? After I wrote down my post for October 30th, 2024, I remembered something I really wanted to use as a positive entry! I wasn’t sure how to do this, since I’m technically not writing this on the proper day, but I decided that I’m the one that makes these rules, so here goes:

Hello everybody,
How are you doing? I haven’t been writing much recently, and… I finally have something that might be good to know for future-me:
Today, I started the official Preparation booklet for the end-of-the-year exam, and my students seemed very interested in the exam.
