one class done, two more to go. today was the last day of english 401, the class i teach. only 19 of the 24 students showed up, so i'm only getting 19 evaluations. this could be good or it could be bad. the students that didn't come today are usually good and i enjoy working with them, so i am a little disappointed not to have evals from them. ah well. they're all too busy working on their more important classes. i gave them (what i thought was) an inspirational speech about having purpose in their lives. i probably touched nobody, but it actually reminded me of why i'm here in the first place. i'm forced to re-evaluate my own purpose here.
i'm sick of this semester, but i think that's the only reason i hate my work. generally i enjoy what i do, i just have the end of the semester blues. now that i've gotten some work done i feel much better. today a rough draft presentation is due at 1:10, then tomorrow i've got a final draft due at 9:40, and then i'm FREE to work on the rough draft until next week (the 18th). it will feel great only working on one thing at a time.
okay, time to get back to work. but wait! one last thing! here's a picture of my new hat. i picked it out, pete bought it for my birthday present. :) i've been wearing it all weekend and into the week.

Hi- nice blog! I'll be visiting often to see how life is treating you!
I'm probably going to steal that hat from you! Haha. :) I love it so much! So cute! This time tomorrow I'll be back and we'll have to figure out when I should come visit you really quickly sometime in the next week or so. :D
