I am coming to hate my computer. I can't really justify purchasing a new one for at least a couple more months but I'm really sick of the fact that anything even slightly taxing throughs it into thorough and complete fits. Wanting to watch a simple movie trailer online? Good luck! Operate two programs, at the same time? Well...I'm not sure about that. And don't even think about trying anything when the anti-virus is running scans! It's highly annoying.

So, what else is new...Wednesday night was interesting at gym...my boss was a little edgy and we were a couple teachers short...not all that fun. I wish I wasn't a floater...I don't have any classes that I am actually in charge of teaching...but I'm in charge of making sure that each class is covered and dealing with absent teachers, etc. This means that most of the time I end of running all over the gym, jumping from class to class.

Wednesday night I stayed for tumbling class with Ethan. Wow...I haven't tumbled seriously in a very, very long time. I am way out of shape for that kind of work. So I've started doing a little bit each night...ouch! I'm not used to this. It's so easy the first night...it's two mornings later that you feel it!

I'm reading the Book Thud! and enjoying it a lot. It's awesome.

And now I have to go get my hair cut. Fare well, fair readers. (And good luck to those of you with darker skin, too.)

Pearls Before Swine rocks. So much more than For Better or For Worse or Cathy. Those are horrible. Pearls Before Swine is the way comics are supposed to be.

So I've completed two days of my internship. Yesterday was really, really boring. The students were doing worksheets all days, so I got to stair at the tops of their heads as they leaned over their desks and wrote. For six hours. Yea...it was boring. Today the lesson was on subject verb agreement...I watched two classes of that and then asked the teacher if I could try my hand at it. Technically I'm supposed to observe the first week and then start teaching the second, but I was already getting bored. S/V agreement is not my favorite topic but it sure beats sitting. So I taught that...and actually had a good time doing it. We did a fun activity with people reprenting nouns and verbs and passing an s back and forth between them.

The sad part of all this is that I can no longer teach the homeschool gym class. :( I'm really going to miss that class...

In other news...last night at karate we had three of the Garza blackbelts show up! Mr. Garza and three of his kids were some of my first instructors and I have a lot of respect for them and their skills. The incredible thing was that when we lined up at the end of class I was standing in between Christina Garza and Josh Garza! That was...amazing and scary at the same time. (not scary as in "they're going to get me!" but as in "I'm in the same position as them and the lower belts are looking at my like I used to look at them!")

I'm going to get off now...there is more to write but I am very tired. Good night.

Cool new look. And comments are back! What think ye?
