:)

OK, now I'm just posting something to get that goofy picture of me holding my first check off the front screen ;)

Things are continuing to go really well around here. We are both digging our new jobs :) I'm scheduled to teach a Comp I class in the spring! I'm excited about that. While I am enjoying teaching that class that I am this semester (professional development) I really enjoy teaching English classes. What can I say, I love lecturing about comma splices and sentence fragments. And I sadistically enjoy reading student papers and editing the crap out of them ;)

I'm just amazed at how fast time is flying by! Mid-terms were last week! Before I know it the semester will be over! And then it will be Christmas! I'm just not ready to think about Christmas yet!

But here's what I think we're going to try to do this year w/the house

Motivation

Check it out :) It's the first paycheck I've gotten in about 3 years! ;)
And I must say that I am really enjoying teaching again!
Tonight the topic I taught was "Motivation" and of course when I think of motivation, I think of motivational speakers... and when thinking about motivational speakers, who can forget Chris Farley's character? So my plan for tonight was to start with showing my students this skit from SNL. Unfortunately, the classroom technology got the better of me and I couldn't figure out how to get the sound going :( I will have to hunt someone down before class on Wednesday to help me out with that...
