Well, it has been a little while since I have posted so I figured it was time. The past couple weeks have gone by incredibly fast. I started my long-term sub job and it seems I haven't had a time to sit and relax.
Last weekend was the Twin Cities Marathon I rode bikes with friends and watched the race. We saw a ton of people we knew. It is always fun to bike around the cities and even more fun to watch the marathon. The day consisted of meeting at Lake Harriet and then following the course all the way to Summit Ave in St. Paul. Breakfast consisted of coffee (sick) and doughnuts! I will take that any day of the week!
With regards to teaching, I feel as if I finally have a grasp on the classroom. It has taken a couple weeks, but I feel as if the students finally view me as their teacher and not just a sub. Thus far, I really enjoy it at that school. The students are fun and the staff is 2nd to none. They are very helpful and kind. I try to bike to school a couple times a week too. It wakes me up more quickly than coffee and it is also a nice little ride. Takes me about 50min-1hr depending on the wind. The last couple of times it has been a quick ride there and a longer ride home because the wind is in my face the whole way back. I don't mind that though because I am in no rush to get back. Kevin lent me a "winter" helmet to use for biking to school in the cold early mornings. It is just a bell sweep helmet with a light mounted onto it and it has a helmet covering over it to keep the wind out. Its actually pretty awesome. He says I can use it until, "I want it back or when I fire you."
This week is MEA so there is only 3 days of school and then a 4-day weekend! It will be good to get caught up with things I have neglected the past week or so. Such as cleaning, yard work, laundry, and a couple other things.
Also one HUGE thing happening this week is my bff Tim Moes and his lady friend Nancy are heading into the hospital this week because Nancy is having her baby! Very excited about that. I may have to make a trip up to cloud town to visit the little guy. Jared's wife is also expecting their 2nd child this month too. Crazy stuff. Lots of babies poppin out. Which means I will get some baby clothes as gifts for people.
Until next time
