Once again Duke shows how classy they are..

As I'm sure you have heard, Duke's lacrosse team has been accused of gang raping a "exotic dancer" last weekend. While those of us who weren't there don't know what really happened, I think this thing is incredibly ridiculous. First the girl should have been smart enough to know that this was not a good situation to get yourself into: group of horny college guys who were probably drinking watching you dance. Did you really think that nothing would happened? Girls need to have some common sense about the places and the situation they get themselves into. Second, the news has been ridiculous about it...if the boys are innocent, they have basically been proven guilty by the media who refuses to give up the story (I mean really, they say the same thing over and over again at 6 am, 12 pm, 5 pm, and 6pm) . Personally I'll just be glad when it's all over with.

Finally....

it's Spring Break! This week came with much anticipation and it was much needed. I sit here now sipping some tea and watching tv. How nice to just sit and do nothing!

So to check you up on the world that is ours... (because someone told me I had to...sorry if you're bored out of your mind)

March has been a sad month as both of our teams have exited the tournament. Carolina did better than any anticipated but still it was sad to see us bow out early esp. when you lose to a team like George Mason. (who by the way are kicking butt...I'm rooting for them now...I hope they go all the way). I have to say, unlike my husband, I'm very excited to see Duke get their butt kicked. I hate no despise the ugly cocky rat-faced Coach K and his little sidekick JJ. I literally cheered as the buzzer sounded on their defeat. So go Patriots!

Other news...I'm currently searching for a new job for next year. This year has made me question whether or not I even want to be a teacher...before I get out, I think I just need a new setting. I've put out applications to 5 schools here in Wake Forest and a couple of private schools. I had an interview today that went really well and I have another next week. I'm praying that the Lord will give me wisdom and open doors as to where He sees fit.

So in some fun news...room 104 now has a new class pet. His name is Bernie and he's a cute black and white guinea pig. My kids won $50 to do whatever they wanted with from being the top selling 3rd grade class. They voted on a class pet and it just happened that one of my students wanted to get rid of hers. The kids have been great with him and he's actually worked well as incentive for good behavior.

Ok that's enough for now...I'll update more later

What a week...

it has been! I had 5 kids suspended...all for fighting. This is just one more indication of the year I've had. I come home so frustrated and so fully exhausted that it's affected every aspect of my life. My world seems to revolve around school because even when I'm not there I'm thinking about it or planning for it. It never ends! Brooke reminded me today that its only 14 more weeks and we are in the home stretch but 14 weeks seems so long. Let's try a small milestone first... Spring break is only 2 weeks away. Spring Break will be low key since of course my Spring Break doesn't match up with Jeremy's.

I just have so many questions right now. What do you have for me Lord? What are you trying to teach me through this experience? Am I supposed to continue doing this? If you think about it...just pray for me and that the Lord will give wisdom. Hope each of you are doing...(though I'm not sure if anyone is reading this)
