Finally Friday

This week has gone fairly slowly, but it's finally over and I'm at home for the weekend.  I'm finally doing it right because the last 2 times I've been home, it was just for the day, or staying one night.  Tonight was really fun because I had dinner with Mom and then we went shopping at Target.  Where I got this fantastic quatrefoil mirror.

I just about fell over when I walked past it and I think Mom might have wondered what was wrong with me before she saw it.  It's black with red accents, the only bad part is I don't really think I'll have a use for it until I have my own place where I'm allowed to put nails in the walls.

School went really well today.  Possibly because Friday finally arrived, or because I like the subjects of the chapters better.  In Spanish 2 I taught the kids a song today about calling the docter and saying that certain body parts hurt.  They seemed to really enjoy it.  Then we played a form of pictionary with the vocab.  One of the kids asked "So is the just like a Friday free day?"  To which I replied, "Nope because we're using the vocab."  I told another teacher about it and he said that it's really great when the kids are learning, but they don't realize it.  We started this new vocab on Tuesday, and I feel like they already know it better than the last chapter.  Also I've got 2 kids who are finally stepping it up and it makes me incredibly happy.  I don't know if it's because it's the end of the quarter, or if they're finally getting interested, but I feel like things are starting to fall into place.  It's the encouragement that I've needed because things are starting to get a little more difficult.

Finally, I really like my main picture.  I couldn't decide on a picture that worked well and I finally found this one that I really liked.  I took it in Osaka Garden in Chicago.  The actual picture shows more and the bridge is not cut off the way it is on my blog.  But I really like how it is cut off because I feel like it's very uncertain as to where the bridge will lead and where the one would end up if they were to cross it.  :-)
