Visiting Maria was a blast! I loved walking around DC and taking things slowly and easily. My favorite place was probably the Newseum, followed by the botanical gardens. I really liked them. The gardens are so peaceful, and the Newseum has the history of reporting history and how it changed with technology and how things have stayed the same. It was so cool to see that news affected different parts of history and how the repression of news stops countries from developing.
The other cool thing is jazz in the park. There are free jazz concerts every Friday and it was tons of fun to go and listen and relax after a busy week.
My family also tried to convince me that the east coast, by DC is the best place to live and that I should move out there. I'm pretty close to being convinced, but I have to wait and see if that's what my hero wants or if that's what the Lord wants.
Maria inspired me with all her to do lists and that she checks things off. Due to her amazingness, I created a to do list of my own and I have over half of the year planned for one of the two classes I am going to teach next year. I am so proud of myself. I feel productive.
Well, I'm off to ponder the best way to think about teaching logarithms and exponential functions, because I didn't teach it very well last year.

Summer is very nice. I have really enjoyed not doing a whole lot of stuff. My biggest accomplishments are that I am almost caught up on sleep--I know this because I can actually start doing something now without a strong desire to take a nap, and I wake up everymorning before 8:00--and I finished typing up my Grandma's personal memoir of her experience in World War II in Berlin. It was amazing! As I worked on it I am so astounded by her faith and the love that Heavenly Father has for everyone of his children. I also reinforced in my stubborn head that if you look for Heavenly Father, He is there. He is in the little details of our lives and it is our responsibility to find Him and thank Him for all He does for us.
Today I am packing because I get to go and visit Maria for a week! I am sooo excited to go and play and recouperate from the end of school! I'm giddy with excitement! School is out and vacations here I come!!!
The last three days of school seemed to take an eternity to finish, and now that they're done and have been done for five days, it seems like an eternity since I went to school. Time is really crazy like that.
My Hero and I went to see a play, "The Curious Savage" and died laughing. We thoughly enjoyed the production and recomend it to anyone and everyone. The plot line is that Mrs. Savage is interned at an insane assylum because her step-children don't like the way she is handling the Savage fortune. Consequently, over half of the cast play insane characters, for instance, one character refuses to talk and will only recite a list of things she hates. This character also gave up electricity for lent, and you know when this character enters because the lights go off for a short period of time until the other characters can find the light switch. The whole play is loads of fun and makes everyone really laugh hard. If the opportunity presents itself, you should go. You won't regret it.
I also did something else due to my Hero. He has some Star Wars video games that he likes to play and I've been interested by one of them because there's lots of puzzles to solve and I like that sort of thing. I tried playing it and now I hate it. I will watch him play and help him through the puzzles, but I dislike the controls and I hate dying. (That's all I do when I play.)
I am unable to find a job for this summer so now I will be looking for projects to occupy my time, so if you think that I need to try something I will be game. I love to cook, and I enjoy sewing, scrapbooking, making cards, reading, and doing all sorts of things. I don't hold still very well, and my attention span is short, but I will pick something back up after I've put it down when my attention is back. Let me know via email or this blog if you have ideas for me. That's all.
