I'm sure it seems like I say this a lot, but this spring is going to be the busiest ever. I have a lot of work for my education classes, plus an advanced poetry writing class, and all the SOURCE stuff. Luckily I'm taking a one-credit yoga class twice a week to keep the stress levels down!
I'm working on my abstract for SOURCE right now and thought I'd procrastinate a little by stopping by here to recap Spring break (which wasn't much of a break at all). I did my observation hours in high school English classrooms at Issaquah High School, and managed to meet up with Grandpa and Grandma for lunch/dinner after school one day! Other than that, I got a taste of how high school will consume my life when I'm a teacher. A lot of my friends balk when I tell them about the antics of students and how long it takes to grade things and how I'll have to get up super early all the time, but my education professors say that teaching is a calling and I truly feel that teaching is exactly that for me.
In other news, on the Thursday of my spring break I had to rescue Jay from feet of snow. His car doesn't do too well in the snow so he was stuck at the bottom of his hill.
And the next day it was sunny and snowy! Isn't it supposed to be spring now?
We've been watching some March Madness, especially since Jay's OSU Buckeyes have made it so far. Natron likes to be right in the middle of things, so this is how we watch basketball (or anything):
And lastly, here's a picture I took coming into North Bend. I've been re-watching Twin Peaks episodes with Jay. It's such a weird show, but I love it!
I don't have very many pictures to share, but hopefully that will change with the coming of nicer weather! I'm going to try and get some hikes in around Ellensburg this Spring on weekends when I can find some spare time!
Come on - that North Bend picture is from 50 years ago - you found it in an old shoe box. In fact, I think I took it with an old Kodachrome 3X!! I think a Steam Engine was coming and we had to stop and wait.
ReplyDeleteTeaching is NOT that bad. Especially if you are an organized sort.
