Blog Clog

Sorry for the lack of blog posts lately. This mostly has to do with the fact that I don't have internet at my house anymore. So my available times to blog (until I go to my parents for the summer) are very limited.
We won't get into why I don't have internet anymore, but it is frustrating.

So what's been new with me?
-Well, I passed my last grad class with an "A."
-I have started a new grad class that seems like it is going to be ridiculously time consuming. It will go until August 1. :(
-I am ready to lose my mind at work. The students are "done" learning, which makes it difficult to do anything. I have to CREATE 4 finals still, and the task seems daunting.
-I am trying to coordinate our international fair, which is going to be held this Saturday. The ESL students from all 6 schools in the district + their families are attending this event. I am on my own for planning and executing, except for 1 elementary teacher who is helping me. My dad can't help because he will be in Canada. My mom (who was supposed to be in charge of the food-she volunteered herself in January) is taking Courtney (who was supposed to do an African display at the fair) to North Carolina for a sorority conference for the weekend. So everyone bailed on me. AND to make matters worse, my aunts/cousins/sister are going to OCNJ for the weekend and now I can't go because of this fair. That leaves my loving and caring boyfriend to help me set up, cook, decorate, haul crap, and entertain over 80 kids/people! :) God bless Corey.
-I went to Florida for my 2nd cousin's wedding. She looked beautiful! Congrats to Jaimie and Nick!! I had a blast and even though the visit was super short, I got a bit of a tan. And I got sunburn in only one place! My butt. Ouch.
-My 2nd cousin (Jaimie's brother) and his wife had a baby yesterday! Welcome to the world Tristin Blake! I can't wait to meet him, but he lives in Tennessee, so I think I will have to wait awhile.
-June 18= Freedom! The kids finish the 16th and I am finished the 18th! I can't wait for summer. This summer seems to be shaping up to be uneventful, just like last summer. But, at this point, uneventful sounds fine. I just want to sleep and soak up sunshine. And, bummer to Corey living in Philadelphia all summer. :( But good for him for getting some paychecks at an internship.

I think that is the latest run-down on my life!

Corey is a good man for helping you. And naturally I am tagging along with the Palmer clan this weekend, so I am bummed to hear you won't be present!
