we started practice this week at TSU. it has been mildly terrifying meeting the other coaches at different schools and worrying that i have no idea what i'm doing, but hey...it's cool. i've done this before and i think we'll be alright in the end.
my grades are due tomorrow morning at 8am. that's literally 36 hours after the quarter ends. not a lot of time. especially when i'm expected to write meaningful comments for all 80 of my students. i had to proctor the PSAT this morning so i maaaybe got 5 done. this is probably going to be a long night. but that's okay because...
...parent/teacher conferences are tomorrow and friday!!! wait...i'm not excited at all about that. in fact i'm terrified. i would ask...why is it that out of 80 kids, i only have 3 conferences scheduled and none of those 3 are with parents i actually need to talk to? mom, didn't you always go to parent teacher conferences? did you ever really need to? probably not...i mean...we were really awesome kids...right? ...right?
the good news is that over this mountain of work and worry is the promised land: fall break. we have a wedding to go to on saturday (amber's high school friend Rudy) and then off to st. louis to hang out with eric and lu! that is i think probably the most exciting thing that has happened in a long time. i've realized that one of the hardest thing about being an adult, is that your friends move off (or you move off) and then you only see these people that you care about deeply once a year! or less! i don't know how you guys (mom and dad) did that with the military. and then with us. i'm sure we prevented the last minute trip to wherever to see whoever (whomever? grammar sucks...) or at the very least made it difficult. well i'm sure you can understand how excited we are to see our great friends.
ellyn, i totally envy your time in morocco. hopefully at some point we'll be able to visit you when you're working there...right???
mom & dad, you guys look like you're having a blast. and mom, that hat is so you.
love you guys.
