Its 2:20.. My day is almost over. I am sitting in the computer lab with my computer class while they are trying to do a collage of themselves on Microsoft word using pictures they find on the internet. It is proving to be interesting. We'll see what happens.


Tomorrow I am going to go to the Brewers game with Monica. It was sort of a last minute thing, but it will be a good thing to do on a Friday night. I think its a 7:05 game. It will be fun.


What else? Hum.. the week is almost over - thank heavens for that. This weekend I am going to be super lazy. I dont have my class, so I am hoping to sleep in on Saturday for a little while.

1st day back.... : )

Today was the first day back. It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Though, I think a lot of the students took today off as well. 1st hour - I had only 3 students. 4th hour - I had 5 and 5th Hour I had 6. Today was not a big attendance day. Im sure there will be some phone calls made by student services tonight and we will see them drift back in tomorrow and Wednesday.

I actually really like my classes this quarter. They all do the work that I ask them too; for the most part they volunteer. Its not that they know what we are doing, but they are willing to learn without an argument from me. And that is the way it is with all my classes. Granted, my 5th hour is a little more "personalitied" than the rest and they are a lot more talkative, but they are still doing what I ask and getting stuff done! Its a great way to end a year!

The happenings of Spring Break

Alright - so I understand that I havent updated in forever. And, in all reality I do not think anybody reads this anyways. (except for Dave and Hannah - both whom I dearly love). But, the goal of this is so that I have a record of what is going on in my life. So, whether it be boring or not. I should update. I have been on SpringBreak for the past 10 days. Ideally, i would like another week off, but I know that is not going to happen. Over break, i did absolutely nothing. I went back home to my parents for easter (and they once again tried to bribe me to move back home - it never fails - they always try). I took Rhiannon shopping the day before easter and to lunch. We bought some scrapbooking stuff and a couple webkins for her. It was quite the fun time.

What else? It was really good to be home again. I have to find a weekend this summer when I can go back - summer always seems to get really busy and crazy. But, we will make some time.

My time back here was pretty simple. I watched movies, spent time with Dave (who - did I mention - I love more than anything?), hung out with the dogs, shoved after a mid-April snowstorm (I think we got a good 6 inches of wet, heavy snow - that is all gone now). It was the perfect way to spend a spring break.

Now, I go back to school tomorrow and have 8 more weeks with the students. Then a week of teacher clean up to do and then I am off for the summer - which I am very much looking forward to. Around this time - I always look forward to the summer time. I get used to not having to go to work, and being able to sleep until 7am (somtimes 8am) instead of 6am. I know, its a great thing! lol.

What else? Katie asked me to be her baby's godmother, so I am pretty excited about that as well. The little bundle should be arriving within the next 5 weeks. I cant wait to meet her!

I will no longer look homeless..

Im finally getting my hair done again today.. Its been so long and it looks it. Im going to VICI today after work at 1pm (we get out early today). Then, my hair is getting highlighted and colored. Yay!! Im very excited.. Plus, after I leave work today, I am off for a little over a week - no more students until April 16. Thanks for Spring Break! Though, I cant really complain about my students this quarter - so far I am really enjoying them!

Spring Breaks a comin'

I guess I havent posted in a while. Work has been busy - last week was the end of the quarter. Classes ended on Friday and our grades were due yesterday by 8am. So, we had a really fast turnover. I was trying to get all of my stuff graded by Thursday so I only had to grade finals Thursday night and Friday after school. Luckily, it worked and I got to leave Friday at a reasonable time. Also, we had our IETP's due for all of our mentor students. So, on top of doing grades last week, I those those due on Friday.. Thats twice the stress to get done. But now, its all done. A new quarter has started - I think it will be a good quarter, and so far things are going well. I only have a day and a half of class left this week (not counting today) and then Im off on spring break until we go back on the 16th. Im totally looking forward to the break!! Im going to sleep in and be lazy for as much of it as I can!
