Evaluations

At the end of each school year I like to give my students these little evaluations forms to see what they thought about my class. Here are a few of the more interesting comments from some of my students. Yes, these are actual comments written on the evaluations. In my defense, most of the answers to the first question are something like, "the class was fun and I learned a lot." Most of the answers to the second question are something like, "less homework and let us sit with our friends." There are of course much more unique answers. Here are a few:

What were the best things about our class this year?
-- it was learnful and fun at the same time
-- I like watermelon.
-- I think our class worked well together. We didn't show our hatred towards each other.
-- That everyone understand how I feel when I fail a test.


If you could change or improve anything about our class, what would it be?
-- bring snacks
-- make the tests worthless
-- my foot is green
-- Billy
-- It would be cooler if Sammy wouldn't throw a fit like a 4-year-old girl
-- Less homework and I know you thinks thats stupid but yes there is alot of home work in this class!! But have a good summer :)
-- Change everybody's attitude they are all jerks except maybe 3 of them they need to grow up because maybe they dont want to go to college but I do!!
-- i would change my self to be a bater student
-- I don't think I would Note: I will do anything to get a 60% I will wash your car. anything I need to PASS.
-- Party all the time!!!

Lazy Mazy Sunday


Today was a very lazy, a bit out of the ordinary, but great Sunday!

We started at our ward for sacrament meeting and then a half-hour or so of primary to get things started. We left our ward at ten to 11:00 in order to get to my aunt Cindy's ward for Preston's homecoming. He gave a nice talk and Elliott came to sit with us for the last 15 minutes of the meeting. I tried to give him gum, but he said it was hot and spit it back in my hand. oh well.

We then went to Cindy's house for some good food and good company. By the time we left it was only like 3:00 and we didn't exactly know what to do with ourselves. So, what else is there to do on a Sunday afternoon? Did you say take a nap? That's exactly what we did. James and I both ended up sleeping for more than an hour, maybe two. It was heavenly! When I woke up, I watched 60 minutes and then sat outside for a while. Later we watched a really boring movie about a poker player and now this . . . a fun an exciting blog post.

Usually we go to my mom's for dinner on Sunday and hang out there. As much as we really enjoy doing that, it was great to just have nothing to do all afternoon today. We don't get days like that very often!
