just a little update...

Well, not too much to talk about these days! So, I'll just keep this short, and be happy with posting a simple post!

1. I ended up going to an ENT a while back, he put me on meds for a month, and my dosage ended last week. First 2 days were horrific, now I don't feel so bad. There is the possibility that I might have a polyp in one of my nostrils. I go back to the specialist one week from Monday. Wish me luck!

2. I got the job to teach Summer School. I will teach from June 15-June 30. It is only for 12 days, and I get $2200. Not bad, I know. By the time that taxes are taken out, I'll be lucky to get $1000. But hey, every little bit counts.

3. I got accepted to a one-week crash course in teaching ELLs this summer, which will go toward my Master's class. The option was to either take TWO eight-week online courses (while summer school was going on), or do ONE eight-week during summer school, and ONE one-week course (if I got accepted) after summer school. I am going to do the latter of the two, and so I'm excited for a bit of a break.

4. My kiddos at school are doing CULTURE projects on Thursday (that is the presentation) and on Monday the 4th (food day). They are excited about it, and so am I! We've been a week researching and gathering information.

5. Since all week students have been in the library and in the computer lab doing research, I took the time to write 2 finals for my classes. I got lots of things done which was nice. What's not-so-nice is my TERRIBLE backache I've had all weekend from sitting down too much!!!

6. Sunny weather is great! I took my Advisory classes out to play kickball on Friday, and they loved it. I loved sitting on the bleachers getting a tan.

7. We FINALLY got working Internet 24/7. We ended up buying service ourselves, but it's only $20 a month and is totally worth every penny! Our apt complex is supposed to provide free Internet & cable, but the Internet was always shady. You could FORGET ever using it at 5:30 or later, when everyone was off work and wanted to download stuff and watch movies...it NEVER worked for us.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday! It's time to wake up Steven from his nap, and go eat dinner w/ the in-laws! Chicken, mashed taters n gravy, and a salad...yum yum yum!
