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!
