Just a little update...

OK I know it has been FOREVER since I updated... it has been very hectic with school starting back and all. So here's a little update for ya ;)

As I said, school's back in session. It has been so long since I was "the new teacher" at a school I forgot how strange it is! The faculty at NHS is even bigger than my old school, so I have lots and lots of names to remember. My students are great so far... so smart and hard working, too! I am also LOVING having a 90 minute planning period as opposed to the 49 minutes at SVHS. I get so much more accomplished. In fact, I have gotten to leave work by 2:45 every day! I agreed to sponsor the junior class and found out (Friday afternoon mind you) that I have to address them (Monday morning at the junior assembly mind you) and talk about elections, college trips, the ring ceremony, fundraising, and prom (none of which do I know anything about MIND YOU!) So that should be my first "adventure" at NHS... wish me luck.

In other news... we are now in the "2 months and some days" range til Tony comes home... I got to talk to him for a good while today. He is definitely ready to get back on the boat and out of the heat! It has been in the 120s where he is for the last month... o.m.g. He seems to be doing well but ready to come home! I am hoping the Bataan site will have some updated pictures, preferably OF HIM because it's been just too long since I've seen that beautiful smile of his! (am I making you throw up in your mouth? ok I'll stop...)

Oh yeah... and my Steelers are 1-0! WOOOT WOOOOOOT!

All in all... it's been a pretty successful September so far... super busy - but SUCCESSFUL!!!
