Summer School

I feel that I have not updated in forever. Its not that I don't care, I am just so tired by the time I get home every day and done with studying the last thing I want to do is something with the computer. But, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel of summer school and its not a freight train that will run me over.

My to do list is getting shorter by the day. I had a presentation in my Modern Middle East class today, so now I have to write the paper to go with it. The paper and making the grad students go first with the presentations is the "extra" work that he assigned to make it a graduate level course. I am confident of an A in that class and I have loved the topic. Plus, he is letting me come to his office in July and "steal", a teachers favorite word, anything of his that I would like to use in my classroom this year or coming years!!! Since I am teaching World History now, that will be useful.

The other class though, on Latin America is getting on my nerves. I am so thankful that there is only one week left. He gave us our final today and told us we could get extra credit if we turned it in early. Now come on, I have a presentation to work on for him, plus a paper and final for my other class and he wants this in by Tuesday. Is he freakin kidding????? But I will try and get it done cause I need all the bonus points I can get if I want to pull an A.

Tonight though, I had fun. A friend hosted a Mary Kay party and we got to play in the makeup and goodies. I tried the makeup years ago and did not like it, however they have changed the formulas around and the skin care has done wonders for me and I really like their mineral foundation. Bare Essentials made me break out and this did not. So I am happy. I am really looking forward to this time next week and being done with school and then heading off to Birmingham after the 4th for some relaxation and catching up time with old friends who I have not seen in a while. I can't wait. Then its off to Chattanooga for the weekend, before getting back in the swing of things for the school year. I am really excited to see what God is going to do this year. Stay tuned!!
