HSAS-nostalgia. HS AStalgia…
You know what “nostalgia” is. And Ostalgie is nostalgia for the east (in German), like for the chunky crosswalk man from East Berlin, pictured above, who’s going through a revival (he’s called Ampelman).
But HS Astalgia? Yup.
In 2002 they opened the school, but not the building. We were upstairs.
Upstairs?
Yup, upstairs in the APEX. An [...]
HS AS-talgia (part 1)
Back in Action
Two years ago, I wrote here all the time. Or maybe just once a week. In any case, it seemed like a lot. Last year, I hardly wrote at all. Like maybe twice? This year? We’ll see, but this is a start.

Not quite [...]
Yes, we have schedules
…but no, they are not very good yet.
For the seniors we mailed out drafts on Friday, should get there Tuesday (± a day), but I am still working on the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. Everyone has the right classes (or almost everyone), but some classes are humongous.
Schedules for juniors and sophs didn’t go out because [...]
Scheduling Progress – College Course Requests
Little bit of progress – rough cut of senior classes allowed me to process college requests. A little better than 50% first choices – that’s better than last year. But we have to see how the registration process goes. I checked on line and only went for sections with seats available, so, maybe… The problems [...]
