I can't imagine what it must be like to be sick with a life threatening disease and have your health care give you the run around. I was on the phone for hours about this MRI and there wasn't a solution given. What if it was something that was super important? I really feel for people faced with that problem.

Finally, Spring Break is here!

What a rough few weeks! So I can see the end in sight for graduation. This week will be the push to finish my research and case studies.

Stanford 10 (the big standardized test) is the week before my birthday and I am not worried a bit! The kids did very well on the benchmark test and I think those are a bit harder than Stanford 10. Although the kids drove me totally crazry this week. They are super smart this year!

So, I haven't smoked since the start of lent and weirdly it hasn't been that bad. I also joined a biggest loser type thing at my gym. The problem is I hurt my knee and now I have to get an MRI to see what is wrong with it. Hopefully it is just a sprain. I think I might have over done it a bit. Running a 5K without training and everything else might have been to much.

I'm already looking foward to summer already! Just a few months away!

What a pretty first day of Spring! I wore shorts and a t-shirt and flip-flops. I missed you flip-flops. Spring and fall have always been my favorite seasons. I love living somewhere that has a change of seasons. Just when you are sick of snow, a warm wind starts to blow and Rita's has free italian ice. I love it.

Life seems a bit wild. Things have been so hectic, the only time I could schedule Roxy to go to the vet was 8 pm on a Friday. Lots of grad work and a formal observation next week. Thursday is the last day of my seminar class and I only have two Practicum classes left! I am only one week away from Spring Break! Yippee. I'll be off to NYC with my mom, aunt, and cousin. Culture (no) shopping (yes).

One week after Spring Break, my students take Stanford 10. I hate standardized testing. I think they will do very well this year (although they drive me crazy, they are very smart). We finish testing April 16 and the next day is my last grad class and my 30th birthday.

My parents bought a vacation home in FL and I am looking forward to running away down south to see old friends and relax as soon as I can!
