This may literally be the dumbest group of people I have taught all year. Many facts are playing into this comment. First off, they're government and move at a snail's pace. Second, they're Floridians which means I hate them just on principle. Then there's the age thing. I can tell that most of them are lifers who have been at this job for 20 years and still don't know how to use a fucking computer. Add all this into 10 of them being in a conference room and you have recipe for stupidity. Just one more day of them and then I move on to another group. My next group is at 7am too so I don't have to be up so damn early. I am feeling cheated out of my weekend right now which isn't helping matter either. We started 20 minutes late and finished at 1:30 pretty much on the dot. I fell asleep for about an hour after class.
For dinner we had these 'buckets o food'. At Freddie's now, they have this self service area where you can get different frozen food which you just heat up for 8-12 minutes on the stove. B had beef tenderloin with mushrooms and gravy while I had shrimp in pasta. Both were actually pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised.
We watched some tv and I went to bed at 9:30. B was up until l2:30 because that's when I woke up and saw her in bed still scrolling. I think it's starting to set in that she is leaving in a few days. She always gets anxious before a trip. This one she is taking the red-eye which will be a new experience for her. It's a direct flight which is nice, but she isn't used to be at airports at 10pm. I can see the anxiety starting to creep in a bit.
One more day of this group, then three days of another group, then an 8:30 class on Monday, and a 6am NJ class next week. Fuck. Do I get a break? Yes. 12/22. That's my last class of the year. I can make it.
