Thangs and such

This is the other side of that blessed hickman union.

anyway, my classes just finished this past sunday. i did pretty well an A in Chemistry and a B in biology. so there you go. i have been a little lazy these past couple of days since finishing, but i will kick it back in gear pretty soon.

although i don't have class anymore katie and i will still manage to stay pretty busy. i have been teaching a class for two years and i am the only foreign teacher most of them have ever known. to make a long story short the girls are finally getting the courage to ask katie and i to spend time with them outside of class. this is a big step for many of our students, as it takes time for them to feel they can make friends with others. although they have many "friends" they really only stay close with two or three people.

my birthday party came and went. i am 24 so feeling a little old. they say you really start to feel old at 25 though, so i guess i can still consider myself a young person.

the online classes had a negative affect on one big area of my teaching...grading. i haven't graded anything for a while so i am about waist deep in papers to grade. on top of that finals will be coming soon so we will both be getting a wave of grading heading our way.

katie is simplifying. every now and then we stop paying attention and end up collecting stuff. so every now and then katie and i go through and simplify. this comes down to getting rid of those things that we never use. even if we tell our self that sometime we might, we know we will never use it. we try not to be materialistic, but it is very hard not to want sometimes.

ok bye
