What happened to August? I still feel like I’m on summer vacation. It’s probably because I’m currently looking for a job and have most of my days free, but I just can’t get over the fact that it’s the middle of September. I’ve had my new car for 4 months now – it’s not that new anymore. Wow, I can’t believe it. There’s about a month until my birthday and Halloween is after that. Hmm, the big 22 - I’m feeling old.
On the job front, I applied to a preschool about a week ago. I’m hoping to hear from them.
I finished my book – The Summons by Grisham. The story was very exciting, a great page turner. I do however, hate how the book ends. You finally reach this big pinnacle and then that is it, fine, it’s over. Just like his other book, the Last Juror, I wish he would add another 30 pages or so resolving the novel. All in all, the book was a great read.
Gilmore girls came back with a brand new season. Yay! I have class on the night the show comes on. I must find out when they re- air the show or get someone to tape it for me : ) I missed the premier! I’m also watching 7th Heaven again. I know these WB shows are geared toward a younger, preteen audience, but I still love them.
As an assignment, I have to teach a mini lesson to a small group of my peers. We are also video taped – scary. I settled on a first grade science lesson, in which I’m going to distinguish living things from nonliving things and go through the butterfly lifecycle (metamorphosis). I want to read the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, but it will depend on how much time I have and if I can actually get a copy of the book. It is only 15 minutes, but I’m still a little worried about it. I have to solidify the lesson plan and practice it a few times this weekend - that should help.
Classes are going well. We have past the first quarter mark. Now it seems that I am having a more difficult time keeping up. I still like my online classes, minus the group meetings : ) Speaking of groups, I’ve also had a somewhat uncanny experience. After conversing with my small group, we found out that one of the members was my 6th grade band teacher. Wow, how funny is that? It definitely is a small world.
Gas prices are dropping, thank goodness. Still high, I paid 2.75 this morning, but much better than 3 something.
My sister and I meet for Tuesday dinner at Panera after classes. She introduced me to the wonderful breads, soups, salads, and iced green tea that they offered. MMmm.
My internet service provider is trying to kill me. The service will shut down for hours on end, just when you need to do some work, of course! Hopefully, the problem will be taken care of by Monday.
