Fire Alarms at 10am

I've been trying to workout a lot more this year seeing as I have somehow managed to hold off the freshman 15 for 3 years-so it's more like the senior 15! Brandi and I have been meeting at 7am to walk to the rec center to work out. It is the best thing ever! I used to go at night at 5 or 6 and then I would be exhausted. But the 7am gig is so good for me cause I'm actually awake and showered for my classes now!



I have the craziest week ahead of me-2 exams, teaching and research paper. I am teaching 7th grade inclusion classroom on Wednesday. We are going to read a book about the pilgrims that I went out and bought at 9am today...I had my first ever lesson on Friday and basically it made me never want to teach again. I love the kids but the teacher who observed me was so mean! She said I was disorganized and unprepared-STFU lady! You have no idea how long I worked on that lesson! I even MADE playdough! Then she got all pissy that I used the overhead projector and her markers...i'm sorry, didn't know I had to buy a freaking classroom worth of crap for a 50 minute lesson!



SO-I am going to try again and hopefully it will go better.



Off to class now-World Regional Geography :) gotta love those climate biomes! (ok i kinda do...)

Halloween!

I had a great Halloween! I made Derek's costume- it looked so good! I was very surprised at my craftyness :) We went home to visit mom and Liz. We got dressed up and went to a few houses with them and then went back home to pass out candy.Derek was Aries, The God of War and I was Athena...cause I'm already a godess :)Derek gave lizzie his sword...great, give the special kid a weapon!

Other than that I didn't do much but it was really nice to be home for Halloween.
