Scar

My bandages finally came off! I have a cool scar:



I know it's a lame picture but it's an odd angle to take!!! ;)

Not a super big scar but still kinda cool, And over really far so summer will be the only time it's seen. (And don't worry, I was wearing a tube top)

Two Weeks Left

It is crazy to think that I have been at Hazen for over 4 months now and now I have only through next week as a full time teacher and then a week of part time and then I'm out. The 4th of June. Finishing Latin America this week, China next week (Seniors: Current World Issues) and then done with them. For my Juniors: Cuba this week, Vietnam War and attitude of the U.S. (in relation to the war) through the 70's next week. A day on Nixon. Then the 80's the week after and I'm done. I'd like to fit some 90's in too cause that's just interesting cause they were alive then and they really want to learn about it. :) So, I know what I'm teaching, the only question is HOW do I teach that and how do I make it INTERESTING!! I love history and it is such a passion for me I just don't want to waste this time I have if there's even the slightest chance that I could get some kids interested in history.

As crazy as these kids drive me, I will miss them. I'm definitely coming to graduation. And as crazy as this seems I think I'll come a few days after I'm done just to see the kids. (Especially since I will have no responsibilities there!!!!)

As much as I do like it (MOST days), I an burnt out, very tired and ready to be done with school. I get on the kids' cases about slacking off cause we're so close to the end but it's all I can do to continue on full throttle. ;-p I have to keep reminding myself I'm not actually done yet. But, two weeks... Only two weeks more. I can do two weeks. I can make it through two more weeks of this. By the grace of God!! and some good ole Ace of Base, Simon & Garfunkel and Hillsong. Life is good. =)

a sureal story

Got the pacemaker in yesterday morning. It feels so strange thinking about what happened in the last 30 some hours...Never thought I'd have done such a thing as I just did. Had very nice nurses, and I'll have a cool scare. ;) Already played Dutch Blitz a couple of times so I'll live. =)
