Tomorrow is the midterm for the Maps and Map Reading class I’m taking this summer. I have no idea how I’m going to do that, because up till now it’s been working with groups on worksheet after worksheet and it is hard to imagine sitting there completing a test by myself. I’m not even sure we were supposed to be working together on the worksheets, it’s just that the entire back row of the classroom is education majors, and one history major, and we all sort of think the same way about these types of assignments, which is to say, that we all think we should do it together.

Maps and Map Reading is a lot of math, but the professor is pretty cool about it. When it comes to miles she only wants us to sort of round up or down depending on where it falls on the mile marker on the map key. This really helps when you are trying to do the area for a building on a map, because instead of reaching for the ruler, which is my first instinct, you can just put the dots on the edge of a piece of paper and then line it up with the key and just sort of guess.

Tomorrow is also the last day of school for the kids and then they are on to summer break. I think they are happy about that. The weather has been pretty bad this week, but I’m sure it is going to warm up soon and they are going to get a taste of summer weather. I still have to get their grades and then it is on to a few months without having to worry about waking them up in the morning.
