School's Out for Summer!

It is official. No school. I checked out of my classroom today. It seems so weird because, seriously, it still feels like it is somewhere in December. Crazy. Not that I am not excited or glad that I am not teaching until August. I am actually quite stoked about that. Good stuff. This year just went real fast. It was hard to help my friend, Alyssa, get all her stuff into her car and out of her classroom. I truly am going to miss having her around. SIGH!

Like the pic? My softball team here in Provo is called The Menaces. Our coach is named Dennis. Cleaver, huh? I think we are a menace to winning because we have only won one game so far out of six. It is sometimes depressing. Tonight I had fun even though we got hammered again. I think it is all about attitude sometimes. I am content sometimes just taking the field and being able to play. Other times I am horribly angry that I can't hit except to people's gloves. It all depends on the week. SIGH.

Well, that is about all I have to say. I am glad to be moving on Tuesday! YIPEE! I do hate the whole process though. SIGH.

I just wanted to end each section with SIGH. SIGH!

Guitar Hero Anyone?

School is over!  No students for two months.  I just sighed.  Today was yearbook signing.  It was awesome.  I sure do love my students.  I think even though I complain a lot, I really do love them.  We also had a big bbq with all the teachers and we pretty much played Guitar Hero all day.  It was awesome.  I work with cool people.  

Now I am heading up to Salt Lake to see a Minor League baseball game.  GO BEES!  It will be fun!

P.S. There are more pics of today but unfortunately my computer is being stupid.  More later! :)

O.O.S.

Out Of Shape! Three words that are basically making me want to puke when I am riding my bike in the canyon. I did not feel youthful at all today on my 12 miler. I need to do something about this spare tire so I do not have to carry an extra 20 pounds when I ride. I was having a lot of fun with my camera at Vivian Park. I hope you enjoy those photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Only one day left of school. That is insane. Classes are 22 minutes tomorrow. I do not know if I can make it! :)

That is pretty much all I have today. Worked, snoozed, biked, walked, watched t.v, blogged, now I will sleep.

Later!

Happy Memorial Day!

Memorial Day is one of my favorite holidays, not only because I have off of work either! My dad always instilled in me a great love of my country and a great appreciation of what the men and women, who have served in the military, have done for all of us. I always get up and head to the cemetery to see the services. I always enjoy the service and today was no different. I was proud of my students in JROTC who presented the colors and also gave the 21 gun salute. I was also moved by the story a veteran shared about his experiences in Vietnam and how one of his fellow soldiers gave his life to save members of his unit! It is amazing what people will do when they are under fire and how true heroism comes out in such situations. I am so grateful to live in this country where I am able to make my own decisions and have so many freedoms. Thank you to all you Veterans!

Not much else today. Okay so I did a lot, including Guitar Hero for hours on the Wii. I also was able to see the new Indiana Jones movie, which was wonderful. I also spent some times with the Sandy Family! Good times.

I love days off. Only two days of work. I better get to bed. Love it!

Addicted!

I am addicted to the Wii. I love Guitar Hero and Mario Cart. The unfortunate problem with this addiction is that in a few weeks my friend, who has the Wi,i is moving away. Then I will have no way to feed my addiction. The other problem with this addiction is that in order to buy a Wii, I would have to pay 250 dollars and I am not very rich right now.

So, if any of you were planning on buying me any presents or giving me money anytime soon, it can all now be for the Wii Fund! :)

That is about all I have right now. I am glad to have the day off tomorrow. I will go to Memorial Day services at the Provo City Cemetery and then I will go watch Indian Jones with the Bills crew. Should be a good day. Oh yeah, and I will be playing the Wii in the evening! :)

P.S. Two days left of school!!!!!
