Spring Semester 2011
I think I haven’t yet accepted that tomorrow is the start of a BUSY semester… 18 hours. I’ve never taken that many at once! I’m more of a 12 hour kinda girl.
Tooting My Own Horn, Again!
One part of becoming certified to teach in Missouri is taking the CBASE (College Basic Academic Subjects Examination) and getting at least a score of 235 in each subject (unless your college requires higher, which mine does). The different subjects you are tested on are English, Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Apparently, you are [...]
On The Road Again
Last weekend, Ryan and I put my new car to the test and took it on the well-traveled path to Indiana. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve made that trip from here to there and back, but it was a new adventure in a Hybrid! I was hoping to get 50 MPG +, [...]
8 AM Comes Too Soon
Who in their right mind takes a summer class (worse yet, a history class) from 8 AM-10 AM everyday of the week? *raises hand* Well, although I am still questioning if I’m sane or not, I am taking the class. Let me try to justify it. My initial thoughts were… 1) It’s only 4 weeks long [...]

Not Me! Monday
Welcome to Not Me! Monday. This blog carnival was created by MckMama. Two Saturdays ago, you wouldn’t have found me talking on the phone just shy of 4 hours, with the conversation ending at 3 AM. Nope, and I didn’t miss church the next morning!! And Ryan certainly wasn’t right in his prediction when he [...]
2 months.
Before now, the longest I had ever been away from my Dad (and Mom) was just about 2 months, between the beginning of AU Spring Semester 08 and Spring Break. But that was totally different. My Dad was still at home, and the distance that separated us was only temporary. I could hear his voice [...]
Some official, and not so official, news
I think it’s so sweet how babies/toddlers do different things when they’re falling asleep. I’m not talking about crying, but what I mean is like when my second cousin Amelia holds on to your ear, another little girl plays with your hair, a little boy rubs your arms— and they’re all so gentle about it!
