Blogalicious

Well I'm once again blogging at work. I feel so rebellious.

Thanksgiving Break was wonderful. Home was refreshing. I missed my family so much! I can't believe how much the kids have changed in just the past few months! They keep growing and growing! Nothing too exciting happened over break, which was nice. I loved getting to sleep in, lay around the house, read, and play with the kids. That is my favorite type of break. I took a lot of pictures. I'll post some later.

On the right hand side of my page click the "Loyal Readers" thing and start following my blog.

Now back at school the kids are definitely still on break mode. I'm not complaining though because amazingly enough they have been pretty quiet (ie: sleepy) in class. We are doing a unit on debate for the next three weeks. I'm really starting to enjoy debate and my students like having a reason to argue. My debate team has an out of town tournament this weekend so I'll be chaperoning 11 students for the weekend at a hotel... say a little prayer for me. It will be fun though. One of my students won 2nd place in novice poetry last tournament, so I'm hoping for another trophy this weekend. I sure complain a lot about coaching debate, but I'm really starting to enjoy it.

Only 2.5 weeks until Christmas break. However, I'll admit that my mind has been focused on a different break... summer break. I'm already starting to make plans for the summer (although I know they will all change between now and then).

My lease will be up in February and then I'm hoping to move into a rent house. I'm looking for some roommates if anybody has any ideas! I miss having roomies. Living by myself is lonely and boring. Even if I'm not there all that much, it's just nice knowing you are not alone.

I've started reading Same Kind of Different As Me. SO good. Part of it takes place in Fort Worth which is cool because I can picture the places they refer to. The story is very powerful. I don't want to ruin it for anyone, but it is a must read.

My classroom smells weird today. It's kind of making me nauseous... Well, I've run out of things to say.
