BUSY, BUSY, BUSY


Okay, my postings are becoming fewer and farther between! For one, of course, I am back to school. It's a busy time of year (what time isn't?) with CSAP, report cards, and parent teacher conferences all looming. My class also seems to be getting more difficult every day. Maybe it's all the inside recesses and 6th weekend snowstorm in a row in the mail?

Even more than that though I am taking 2 grad school classes. See, I would've taken 1 last semester and 1 this semester but neither of the 2 I needed to graduate were offered in the fall! I really want to graduate and be done (and get a raise!) in May so I have to just get through it....which means 2 15-hour days a week with evening classes, and homework all weekend-boo! Okay, now I'm done whining...err, that is, explaining why you might not hear from me for weeks on end!

On the bright side, I've had some good poker games lately....got 4th in Hold' Em on Sunday and 1st (!!) in Omaha! Then I got 2nd on Tuesday...and smoked last night. Oh, well. I know, you're thinking, how can she complain about being so busy when she's playing all this poker? Well, to my credit (okay, maybe not CREDIT) I have been taking my laptop to the bars/restaurants and actually working. The only reason I didn't win the 2nd game Sunday was because I didn't play it! Sat and read and typed. So don't get too jealous of my raging social life! Drop me a line, all....

Okay, okay, I don't have a picture of me studying during poker, phew, but here is a Costa Rica picture instead. Time to go back, I think!

Week in Review (updated with pix & video)

You know life has been hectic if the Rockies made it into the World Series almost a week ago, I was at the game, and no posting has occurred yet! Okay. Monday. Got into a minor fender-bender on the way downtown which really delayed things. Then my battery died, from having the hazards on. At that point, I figured my day had to get better, because it really couldn't get worse. It did (get better, that is). :) The Rockies beat the Diamondbacks, 6-4, and SWEPT the series (again; more broom pictures to be posted later) to win the National League Pennant and a pass to the World Series, for the first time ever!!!! It was very exciting, needless to say. After the game, they presented the NL pennant and had a little ceremony. The game was really long, it started at 8:18pm and at 10:00 it was only the 4th inning. The only reason this was important was because...I had to pick Toni up at the airport AFTER the game! So that happened at about 1am, then I drove him up to his house in Lafayette. ...

A busy Saturday

First, a quick update from last night. I tried alpaca in a restaurant. It was okay but kind of dry. Could have used some gravy. Today, Sadie and I met early in the morning, but first, I started my day with breakfast (bread, marmalade, cheese, and coffee) and met a Bolivian girl who I got to practice my Spanish with, since she knew no English! ¨Next, I got a tourist ticket and we went to Temple of the Sun, also known as Qorikancha. Lots of the spellings of ruins and such are in Quechua, which is the indiginous language spoken here, and apparently it has lots of Q´s in it! Anyway, it was originally an Incan temple but when the Spaniards came, they took all the gold and melted it down, and turned it into a church, but some of the original Inca masonry still exists. It was pretty interesting. We had plans to go to several museums this morning as well, but most things are closed for the holiday. The parade started lining up on the main street around 10am. It´s now after 6 and STILL going. I...

A Very Good Day!

Yes, it has been forever since I updated....apologies, life has been quite hectic! Since my last posting I have submitted my portfolio (HUGE amount of work!) for graduation and been working hard to finish all of my assignments for my two grad classes. Unfortunately I'm nowhere near done, work-wise. Although I have only two classes left, Monday and Thursday, I have four papers and a presentation to do! However, I'm in a great mood. Here's why: I am supposed to find out about if my portfolio is accepted sometime tomorrow or later. I asked my professor tonight, how much later? Because I have been having nightmares about that thing. He said, "I can't tell you now that your portfolio was accepted, but you can stop having nightmares." Woohoo! Although my school's third grade class has the lowest CogAt (cognitive abilities) test scores in the whole district, our CSAP reading scores came in this week and they went up 5 percentage points. Yippee! (We worked our col...
