So the direct tv was FINALLY installed and I have already wasted time watching the Real World. Sweet. I only have 3 more days left at Robinson and i'm pretty excited about that. Tolday was terrible and there have been more days like today than not lately. Today I also ordered a couple tennis racquets to demo and i should get them on Friday. This ( Read more... )

Today was my first day teaching all by myself. I did get ahead of myself a few times, but overall it went alright. I also made a few mistakes but the good thing was that I recognized them right away and went back and fixed them or tried to cover for them. But for a first day, you can't really complain. Saturday Kate and I went to the Ringling ( Read more... )

Today I went and visited Pendleton East Elementary, which is where I am doing my library internship at. I am really excited about getting this started because Mrs. Richardson is really cool and the staff is really nice. We went through so much stuff, and there is so much to talk about but i'll just wait until I get going there. I did find out that ( Read more... )

I got the call later that night that he had passed away. So on Sunday, Katie ( ( Read more... )

Tomorrow will officially be one week into the school year with kids and I can honestly say that I am glad that I will hopefully never be a teacher. While I enjoy being with the children and being in a school setting, there are too many bratty kids who just need a good whoopin. For those parents who do a shitty job of raising their children, they ( Read more... )

One of the things I picked up is what i'm typing this entry on. Yes, I finally got the ibook that I have desired for quite some time because my old pc ( Read more... )

Michigan was great and it was too short. Seeing my family and getting to relax before the grind will start was just what i needed. I'll go back next weekend for our family picture and I'm so glad that my family is really making Kate feel like she is already a part of the family ( Read more... )

last night we celebrated the anniversary by going to the melting pot. We had a really good time, the food was great and was very filling. It was overall an excellent romantic night spent with my beautiful fiancee ( Read more... )

The last couple days have been interesting with me working the opposite shifts of what kate is. It has resulted with some lonely nights and with me constantly valuing how much i appreciate her. Many times I disappoint her and wonder how much I have hurt her. Our 1 year anniversary is Saturday and its crazy at times to think about all the ups and ( Read more... )
