January

I apparently decided to stop blogging in January. Sorry. But now that the end is in sight, I can emerge from my non-communicative cocoon.

I've always hated January - I think I am only now, on the 29th, starting to feel like a person again. Living in a frigid, dark ice-cube is not how we were created to live - I mean Adam and Eve were made nekkid. But now it's starting to be light when I drive home most days! Sunday is February! One month closer to May!

Work has been... uninspiring until about yesterday. Yesterday, my classes were laughing and focused, on-task, and enjoying Spanish. It was awesome. Before that I learned a couple things about the Hidden Rules of the Classroom. Rule #1: If, during a verbal exercise in which you are supposed to be telling your classmates about a family member in Spanish, you say, "She has these enormous tits!" with hand gestures, you will not remain in my classroom. Rule #2: If you have a native speaker do your homework and he accidentally leaves one of his world history assignments in there with matching hand writing, I will notice and will no longer allow you to turn in late assignments.

Oh these kids.

David and I are planning a trip to Mexico for spring break, and that trip has acted as motivation for gym trips, getting out of bed, and not trying to cuss out the thermometer for reading 19 when I think it should be 91.

That's all I can think of. I'll try to be better about updates.
