It has been quite awhile since I last updated. Poor, poor diaryland, I've neglected you so. It's the same excuse as always: work, school, etc. You know, the daily grind. School rules this semester. I like my classes, my professor's are good, so far I haven't had to deal with many annoying pretentious types...it's been nice. On top of that, I'm really beginning to get excited about the prospect of teaching. I even started keeping a "teaching journal", like the textbook suggested. So far I've recorded random ideas, such as maps of how I want to arrange my classroom and books I need to buy about "compassionate discipline" and things. God, if I ever end up with big, poofy hair, wearing dangly gold earrings and some hideous matching two piece ensemble with little gingerbread men or something equally horrible printed on it, please, put me out of my misery. I never want to become that stereotype. (The pictures in these education textbooks are scaring me. Granted, it was originally printed around '88, but still...)

Another thing that's been eating up my time: my aunt owns this adoption agency and she asked me to translate some stuff into French for a little extra money. This arrangement sounded like it would be mighty profitable until she faxed me the files that need to be translated. Yeah, there were like 15 pages. And there's more coming. It's stressing me out. That extra money isn't looking so enticing right about now....

Anyway, I must get to the slicing of the sweet potatoes. Dave and I have a scrumptious dinner planned for tonight. Nothing like quality time with the loved one...
