Another week is winding down. It's been fairly stressful because I've been a little behind so I've been just keeping my head above water with grading, planning and making handouts and activities. I feel like it's getting increasingly difficult because I keep trying to find new strategies to use in my classroom to keep things new and interesting, but I feel like it's so time consuming. The workshops at school have been really helpful though. I did survive my first quarter of the first semester though! Which means I'm halfway done with my first semester. If anyone has seen facebook, I made it through those first 9 weeks without wearing the same thing twice. Not just combinations, but shirts also. I rewore a dress yesterday that I'd already worn upon student request, and apparently it was the wrong one. I'm just now getting into all my winter clothes, so I could have probably made it the rest of the semester.
I'm excited for another fun weekend! Last weekend I had a great time playing with Hailey and Jacob and then I got dinner with Julie and Sandi at BWW's. It was incredibly fun and I hope it will be repeated numerous times in the future.
This weekend I'm off to Dubuque, Iowa to see Alex play in her last regular season game. A lot of Chris's family will be there also and it's always a lot of fun seeing them. I'm looking forward to lots of fun and visiting, along with (hopefully) some Olive Garden. Time to go pack and then head to bed for a school day full of vocab quizzes, Día de los Muertos, dreams and then a long drive to Dubuque.
