every body's workin for the weekend

Boy, I forget about this a lot.
So here is what's going on:

1)I accepted a job offer to work at the OTHER high school in town.
I am absolutely excited. I was just thinking to myself, "why am I still so surprised/shock/in disbelief?" I think because I realize this is what I really wanted. I remember interviewing for the job LAST YEAR and thinking, wow, I'd really like to work here. and now I will be! It will be weird starting over, I'm a little scared, but it will be a fresh start. I am really going to miss my fellow Fellow. We've been attached at the hip for OVER a YEAR---he got a job in KC. we are a well oiled machine, so I will have to get used to a routine without him. I've already got some ideas brewing as to how I can tweak the instructional strategies and other expectations I have implemented right now. It's a little late in the game to make changes to my kids, but I can def. start brainstorming for next year. I'm not a newbie teacher anymore. boom. I'm excited that the school encourages STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY---something I am really passionate about.

2) still working through Nancy Drew series.
I just read "The Secret of Red Gate Farm". So, this one was WEIRD----Nancy dressed up in a white robe and mask to investigate a "nature cult"

3) I am now at a place where I feel like things are on the downhill. This means:
-I can think about, "what does ministry look like for me next year?"
-The end of the school year is near
-Completing my MASTERS is less than 3 months away

4) almost finished with Galatians. been working on it since Jan 1. thinking about doing a bit of OLD TESTAMENT reading now.

5) i'm 23 now. yikes.
