Such a Tragedy

I got the saddest news yesterday morning. Candice Smith passed away yesterday at 11am. She will be missed by all and we know she's in a better place now and no longer injured. This sure makes you think just how fragile life can be. I was reading the prayer page today and saw something that was definitely a different way to look at the whole thing. This person said that "She must've been a special person to be called home so soon." Maybe we can think about it in this light and believe that God wanted Candice to help him up there in Heaven. Goodbye, Candice. Rest in Peace.

Conferences-shmonferences

I'm sitting here at parent/teacher conferences and am bored out of my gourd. We finally were able to access the internet on our personal laptops. At first I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to and that I would've brought my laptop for no reason and wasted the energy, but finally somebody gave us access to it. I'm happy now.

I'm also knitting a scarf. It's for the Special Olympics. It's cherry red and heather gray and it's a skinny tube scarf. They want us to submit any scarves that we've made by March 9th and I don't know if I'll make it but it's worth trying, right? I was going to have my Knitwitz try but I also don't think they can make it in time. If anything, maybe we can do it next year--provided I'm here next year. :)


I think tomorrow I'll knock out my lesson plans and work on my paper during the next session (8-11:30am).

Is it working?

So I got word that the video wasn't working, however, it's working for me... I don't know what to do. I'm not that technologically advanced in my skills--I just know how to upload it and press play--haha! Anyway, I guess my only advice to you is to keep trying to play the video? Refresh the window? I dunno...if you get it to work though or if you don't, it's just Lily doing the cutest tongue thing. She looks like a lizard. :)

Isn't she cute???? Miss Lillybean.

T-minus about 1 month

I had my last official class meeting yesterday before I present my paper! Final presentation is March 16, 2010 at 3pm til 6pm.


I babysat today for the cutest little girl, Lily Woods. She's so cute! She's going to be 1 year old in April, I think. She's already learned to pick her nose but luckily, she doesn't pull anything out. hahaha! I took a couple of videos of her so maybe I'll upload them soon so you can see her.

I'm ready for some warmer weather and summer vacation

The title says it all...

I'm ready for a break from it all!

By the way, just finished hat #7. 6 more, I think. :/ :)

STRESS ATTACK!!

I'm absolutely freaking out right now! Don't ask my why I'm taking time to post an entry when I should be working on stuff right now. I guess that's just my procrastination method--have a lot to do, so I run away and do other things such as post blogs, facebook or sleep. I have lesson plans to do before tomorrow, which should be as bad as I'm making them out to be since we don't have school on Friday AND tomorrow is a shortened schedule due to an assembly but still. They're impending. Also, I have to do a lot of work on my master's final paper. I am not thrilled to be reading through my paper over and over again to make corrections/additions or deletions. Do you know how boring it is to do that? I already wrote it once and now I have to improve it by adding and subtracting stuff. Ew. Anyway, I'll be glad when it's all over and I present it. Although, the presentation's going to be quite a doozy too. I'll probably sick to my stomach nervous that day. In fact, the presentation is on March 16th, 3-6pm. I'm going to have to leave my 5th period a little early so that I can get to BSU a little before 3pm. Luckily, I have an adult aide in there that I think will be able to handle the kids for the last few minutes of class. :) *sigh* Guess I better get back to work and get these lesson plans out of the way.
