Crazy

You know how whenever the moon is full and the breeze feels funny, how all of the animals in the neighborhood start howling and barking and acting crazy as if they’ve lost their minds?

This week feels like that.1

I learned long ago that — especially since we work with teenagers — you can’t blame yourself for everything. Sometimes it’s just the weather.

Or something in the air.

Or the anticipation of a long vacation just over the horizon.

Or hormones.

Bottom line: Sometimes teenagers just act crazy — and most of the time it has nothing to do with you.2

One more full week to go… and then finals.

Incidentally, as the students and staff came back to work after Turkey weekend, so did the flu bug, apparently.3 Ill timing, with our final wave of major exams AND semester exams, all in the next two weeks.
