Wrapping up the Semester

I haven't blogged in a while so I feel I have to address my last blog entry-- turns out the first woman who was attacked was a big huge faker...but I'm pretty sure all one of you who reads this already knew that.

Anyway, I shouldn't be blogging, but I'm in the last two weeks of my first semester of grad school and I'm coming up with more & more creative ways to procrastinate on the mountain of work I have to do. Actually, I'm waiting to go to a meeting & I've decided that I don't want to start on anything I can't finish in the next 30 minutes before the meeting begins (it sounds logical in my head).

I wish I had something funny to blog about--like my preschoolers that used to call the ever popular breakfast pastry a "Hop Tart"...or that time when one of them woke up from his nap and loudly asked "What's that f#ckin' noise??" (there was no noise...I think he was dreaming)...or when one of my little boys informed me that he wasn't taking a nap that day because he "Just don't feel comm-ter-ble on that mat" (I gave him our oversized turtle pillow to sleep on instead that day & he went right to sleep). But I don't have anything funny. I haven't seen my preschoolers in months and I miss them terribly.

But I can rest easy as I try to plow through the remaining two weeks of school because I will get to see my preschoolers' sweet little faces after that as I plan to fill-in as their teacher during Winter Break. I only wish my current students were as funny as my preschoolers were, but college freshmen seem to only come up with funny excuses for a number of things pertaining to why they couldn't keep up with certain responsibilities.
