I just finished two more graduate classes, and it feels oh, so good! I feel like a gigantic weight has been taken off of my shoulders (until the next class starts in two weeks). Sorry about my absence from the blogging world for the past few months, but my world has revolved around school, homework, sleep, and repeat. It feels like every waking moment I have been working on some assignment, project (need a five week, fifty page long unit on the economy for first graders-let me know!), video taping myself teaching and then reflecting on it, doing all of the other assignments, or thinking about the assignments I should be working on. And oh yeah, actually planning for my own class. If you can't tell, I'm a little burnt out on school, but I'm finished with part of it now. Yeah!
As far as other happening since my last post on March 1 (yikes!), nothing too exciting has been happening.
We're still on the hunt for a house, hopefully we'll come up with something soon. I'm really antsy to get out of the APT.
Our Spain trip is right around the corner. We leave on June 11. We are finally getting excited about it, even though I really don't know what we're doing or where we're going. I'm trusting Jacob to care of all that, and communicate for me once we get there!
Two weeks ago we got to have dinner with Laura and her boyfriend, Travis. He was home on leave from Iraq, and had to go back this past weekend until October. I know she was glad to see him. He seems like a really nice guy.
The other Shively's (all of them except us) have gotten into the coffeehouse business. Ashley was working at one in Franklin, and the owner wanted to sell it. She and Ben bought it last week, and are running it with Jay's business help. If you're in Franklin, stop at Benjamin's (ironically it was already named that before they bought it), on the square and have a cup of joe.
I'm counting down to the final day of school. This semester has been challenging with all of the work I've done outside of school, combined with the day-to-day challenges I've faced. I'm definitely ready for break. Only 16 school days to go!
Those are all of the updates I can think of at the moment. I promise to be more prompt in my postings from now on!
