Tomorrow night is my last Ed Psych class. It’s a summer session and it’s been pretty intense. Especially since I haven’t been a college student in a long time. (I’m the adult learner now! I wonder if the “kids” hate me?)…. Anyhow, I just finished my final project tonight (above), and it’s quite a load […]
To The 5 Boroughs
The new Beastie Boys album is out. Their 6th. Derek got it for me yesterday. I’m pretty excited about it. I’m really unable to expand on this topic further, as it seems my creative writing skills have yet to be awakened this morning. Perhaps more details after a few listening hours… ?
Batavia, NY and Jake Paine
We went to NY on Thursday. We just got back yesterday afternoon. We did lots of fun stuff: went to Utica for a day to see Chris and Bear and go fishing and stuff watched Jake’s baseball game ate at the Pok-a-dot, OF COURSE went to Niagara Falls had a celebration with all the neighbors […]
School’s Out For Summer!
Well, that’s it. It’s over. We graduated the kiddies on Friday and we had a couple of mandatory teacher workdays, but I’m now officially done for the summer. Sort of. I’m teaching summer school in a couple of weeks. Got talked into that somehow. 🙁 We’re getting things ready to go to NY for a […]
Memorial Day Weekend
It is the last day of Memorial Day weekend. The actual Memorial Day. We went to the beach on Saturday and stayed for the night. There were millions of beach party kids and it was packed out. We had the pleasure of staying next door to some drunk White Trash couples who got into an […]
Hanging Rock
On Saturday (yeah, I know, it’s Wednesday now….I’m BUSY!)… On Saturday, we (me, Derek and Billy N.) went to Hanging Rock State Park, all the way up in Stokes County. We got lost on our hike (again) and wound up 4.5 miles out of our way.So, due to time constraints, we went back to our […]
Dirt Pile
This is the dirt pile that adorns the side of the road in our neighborhood. Quite a lovely landscape, if I do say so myself. It was formerly a generously wooded area, and a shield between us and I-40. They rezoned the areas and a banking center will soon be located there. But, in the […]
Rupert!!!
Rupert won the “America’s Choice” award on Survivor last night. I love Rupert. We watched him in Pearl Islands, and we were very sad when he was voted off. And we watched him in All-Stars, and he was again, voted off (this time much later in the game). But, he got his reward in the […]
Pilot Mountain
Derek and I hiked up Pilot Mountain on Saturday. He had just returned from NYC and I from Raleigh, so we were pretty tired. We also haven’t had many carbs in about a week, so we started off slow. We missed the start of the trail (I do not know how!), and wound up hiking […]
News Updates
let’s see…. 1. I officially have been transferred to Forbush High School in Yadkin County, for the start of the ’04-’05 school year. I will, hopefully, also be coaching some sports. 🙂 2. I went to Durham last night, and I met Chris and Jessie’s new son (Christopher Andrew). It was the cutest baby ever. […]
