Master's Away...

Greetings.

I would like to say that Master Level classes are very interesting. My teacher in this first class is going to very fun to work with. He is from the South and has a slight accent. It is pleasant to listen too. We were banished (the other teacher that is taking the program with me) to "Studio B", which really means shoved in the back room with a TV screen the size of the average computer monitor. It will be an interesting 2-year event, that is for sure.

As far as the school day, it went well. We went down to Main Street this morning and cheered for the Special Olympians as they carried the torch down the street. There were fire trucks and police cars. Even the High School students came and cheered. We returned to school and had a pleasant day. The Hughes Bank Finale went really well this afternoon. We watched "Night at the Museum" (I muted the one swear word- stupid movie people that but that garbage in) and sold concessions to them. We ended the day with an auction of items I provided and then what ever money was not used they simply returned to me. What a year it has been.

I guess I better get serious about my college class requirements. I will sign off so I can start reading (I think I will have to read over 1000 pages of text in the next 7 weeks! HOLY CRAP!)
so I best get started! I promise to update you soon!

T-Minus 5 and counting

WOW! I simply can't believe that I am in the home stretch. I have so many mixed emotions. I am very excited that it is over (it has been a long year), yet I will truly miss this class. I guess I feel this way every year, but I don't remember feeling that way. I simply hope this means that I am finding a balance in my life when it comes to school and personal life.

I am WAY nervous for my first master's class tomorrow. The professor said he would send more info before the class, yet I haven't seen anything yet. I have no idea what to expect and that is the hardest part for me. But I know that I will survive.

Tonight was great. After school I was able to come home and water the yard and garden. The corn is up, the carrots are up, and cucumbers are just breaking the soil, and the tomatoes and bell peppers are growing like crazy. So, long story short- It is doing well. I think it is the prayers that are helping ;).

Well, I need to finish planning out the Hughes Bank Finale for tomorrow. (I run a banking system in my classroom. We have Hughes Money, checkbooks, auctions, business, etc.- My hope is to introduce the students to financial literacy.)

I guess this will have to suffice as an update for now. I will let you know how the class goes tomorrow.
