School

School has started again. I like my classes this year, because of two things: 1. the sizes of classes are smaller than last year, and 2. I have a prep period! These two things make school a whole lot more bearable than last year.

I'm in the process of learning all of the names of my minions. I think I'm at about two periods shy of knowing all their names. It's a lot easier to teach them if I know their names. Odd, then I can tell them to stop talking to their neighbor and give them the stare down, and mostly the kids are really good.

I don't have any real complaints, and it's great. I'm having fun, and trying to get rid of a cold. Some days I really wish I could take nyquil, but I'll survive. Tomorrow's FRIDAY!!!

August Graduations

My Hero graduated from BYU this past week. I am so proud of him! It was a lot of fun to see family and play around with everyone a few last times. His family came up to visit and we got to take pictures and it was loads of fun!

My Hero also has a job for the next five or six months studying a bug. He gets to travel and catch the bugs and publish, so we're pretty excited. And the six months is the best thing that could happen to us, because he'll finish working just in time to take care of the baby that is coming!

We are both so excited for the end of February! So excited! That's our news. And no, I'm not showing at all.

Girls Camp

I spent the last week at Girls Camp in San Diego. It was tons of fun! I vollunteered to go with My Hero's Mom and we were the camp cooks! I enjoyed cooking for lots of people but it felt completely cycical, because once we had cleaned up one meal, we started on another meal. We went to the mountains and camped in the beauty. My only complaint was that there was a pleathera of Breaking Dawn books.

I had read the rest of the series and now hate Bella. I don't like her, and so I am refusing to read the books and it was all over camp, and everyone was obsessing over it. I understand everyone will have obsessions, but I don't like how my students obsess over the book and wish that they found something else to obsess over.

School starts in a week. I'm sad to go back. I've thoughly enjoyed my freedom. It will be hard to give it up.
