Those sixth graders I'm teaching, the ones who were sadly in need of ritalin two years ago when I had then in fourth grade - well either they got some or they've grown up a little because I enjoyed teaching them today.<br /><br />2. The four USYers who ended up going to the Knicks/Maccabi Tel Aviv game could have gone by themselves and I could have had a free afternoon - but they were a stellar four - and I would have ended up doing something else really boring - like cleaning my house.<br /><br />3. I started my first on-line course. A 1-credit course at Hebrew College - it's a graduate credit - how many more will I need for that PhD? Can I add it to the MLS and the MA and trade them in? Please?<br /><br />4. Took Matan to Grandma's for dinner. She bought deli - no cooking and no cleaning up - a nice way to start off the week.<br /><br />5. The weather is going to get warmer tomorrow - and it only poured in my little corner of NJ when I was asleep.<br /><br />6. Those nutjob parents you spoke about - it was a hoax and you may get your wish.<br /><br />7. Someone else did that load of underwear that was filling up the laundry basket (of course I still have to fold it...)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740200986613766476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2788885334459549165.post-27278348887985499072009-10-18T16:44:17.486-04:002009-10-18T16:44:17.486-04:001.

This is good, both because they did awesome and because I finally no longer have to deal with the frustratingly irresponsible family of one of theirs.<br /><br />2. I had a fantastic day yesterday, spent almost exclusively with a new friend. I like new friends!<br /><br />3. My brother is in Austin for a conference this weekend. Tonight he will be my first guest at my (not so new anymore) condo! (Well, besides my mother).<br /><br />4. It is 3:00 on Sunday afternoon, and I have finished all of my readings for classes for the week! The nature of a doctoral program means there's a billion more pages of reading to do besides for class, but I won't think about that for now.<br /><br />5. Texas won in football yesterday, which is mostly good because you don't want to deal with 50,000 people depressed about losing to Oklahoma (which we were pretty close to doing). I also made a delicious baked brie, which just made the football game all that much better.<br /><br />6. I spoke with a large portion of my best friends from UNC this morning on Skype, which is always an adventure. 8 computers, 4 time zones, and 8 people with not large attention spans makes for a good time.<br /><br />7. I posted on Navah's blog so now she can stop bugging me :-pAlyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08063804651164937598noreply@blogger.com
