Back to Work/School

Thursday I set back to school on what I am planning on being my LAST semester. I'm excited and hopeful that I can handle it. I am only teaching two classes this semester, and neither is a lecture, so I think it will all work out. I enjoy teaching and being around other academics, even though it is a smaller community college. With my Master's I will be able to teach a wide range of classes. This semester I'm doing an apprenticeship in American Literature which should be fun. My undergraduate American Literature teacher was horrendous...I don't remember a thing from that class.

The weather outside is frigid cold...we may even get some snow this week. With my luck, just watch...it will snow on Thursday when I'm supposed to go to school/work and the kids will get out of school. Oh the irony. They have been practicing a lot with their new Pokemon decks. My 5 year old daughter won 3rd place in the Nashville tournament and then 2nd place in the Memphis tournament. She amazes me. In this game you have to be able to read and understand each attack, as well as add/subtract points when attacking your opponent or when you are attacked yourself. She is quite remarkable. Hopefully the next tournament she will be #1! The boys both are doing well with my oldest being #3 in the State so far. The boys both think the game is nerdy, but they secretly love playing.

I finally joined Facebook. My friends have been after me for quite some time to get on there and I've held out as long as I could. I was amazed to see how many of my family members are there. I'll play around with it for a while and see who I may find. Look me up! :)
