Winding Down at School

It's Thursday and the exams are over now. I have a few kids hanging around in class this morning who are waiting to take exams in other classes but for me everything is finished except for one student who is coming in tomorow morning to make up the exam she missed. All other grades are in and I really have nothing to do now except decompress for the holidays. Oh yes, my munchkin with the mom who has sent me around 12 emails about her darling, overprotected daughter managed to make a "D" on her final exam. Her average was a "C" for the term, the first "C" according to her mom that she had ever received. I had earlier emailed mom that her daughter needed a 75 C or better on her final exam to maintain a "B" average for the term. Unfortunately the little darling did not take advantage of our review sessions and review questions and did not study her old tests as I suggested. I haven't heard from mom yet, but if she holds true to form I will be getting emails and/or calls shortly after report cards go out, whining about how unfair it is for the little munchkin to earn a "C" in Biology. I'm going to give them the same level of sympathy they deserve after her daughter spent most of the term doing as little as possible in class. Ha!

I'm pretty tired today. We were up last night dealing with a sick bunny, Sir Francis. My wife is taking him to the vet this morning to see what they can do for a respiratory infection and an inflamed toenail. He is a little more than 8 years old which makes him geriatric in the rabbit world. In the course of treating his respiratory infection he has lost around 15% of his body weight so things are critical for our little guy. We are doing everything we can for him but his age is against him when fighting infections like this.

The rosacea, heart problems, and colon problem are basically about the same. I just want to crawl into bed and get some much needed rest.
