Happy Finals Week!

   This week has been a drag.  It feels like it has lasted about four days longer than it should.  I have one small final left, and then I finish off my week with a full day of work.  I will admit that I am extremely excited.  This semester has been nothing short of tough.  Not because of the course work invovled in 20 credit hours but because of the people I have had to deal with over the course of the semester.  I have shed many tears because of the emotions these individuals have made arise.  Nonetheless, I am strong and ready to start the impossible...working and student teaching, at the same time.  
  On a lighter note, Kyle surprised me with a movie this week.  Don't worry, we went to a 7 o'clock showing, so I wasn't up late.  He took me to see The Golden Compass.  I love this book and was waiting for the movie with much anticipation.  I really enjoyed it, but of course, it wasn't up to Kyle's 'Lord of the Rings' standards.  What ever is?  The ending left much to be desired, but on the whole I really enjoyed it.  Hope everyone's week is going well.  Drop me a line.

Let it Snow!!!!!

Last weekend we got a nice little snow storm, mostly ice and sleet, but a little snow. I was excited for the Christmas looking weather. I enjoyed watching the snow fall as I sat next to my sad little Christmas tree.
I have been listening to Christmas music for a couple days now on pandora. I love the old classics sung by Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra. What a great era!
I took this picture today after I got home from class. I wanted to blog about the snow, and to make it a little more personal than just a random picture outside my apartment, I put myself in it. (To Amy, Beth and Ginny, it is a self portrait!)
If you check out the blog, drop me a note. I hope you enjoy the snow just as much as I do!
