Yep, I haven't posted since school began and let me tell you that my brain has been fried the last two weeks, school is really crazy. In the last two weeks (10days) of school, I've stayed an hour to an hour and a half after my work day is done 8 days. There are many reasons, some exciting and some not so good ( Read more... )

Yes, so I'm back into school mode. So far, it's been okay. Yesterday was okay and this moring was really great, but this afternoon made up for it.

I don't know what it is about the Tour de France, but every July, I get a little obsessed about watching it on TV everyday that I can. I know, it's odd, it's just watching 120+ guys biking for 2-3 hours everyday, but I like it ( Read more... )

Yep, I've made it back, I'm home, for the night, and off to Willmar tomorrow. I"d love to share things, but there is too much to share tonight, especailly since I've gotten 4 hours of sleep the last few nights and it's about 6:30am in Ukraine right now..... I'm tired.
