Flood 2009!

Its been awhile, but I'm back! Long couple weeks behind me now. Spring Break came and went like that with little to talk about. All i really did was chop wood for my family and relax and take a break from the year of school. Nothing special happened in my life since the last posting, except I'm no longer a teen, yes I'm now 20! It came with a little fear though, with the local rivers in flood stage and expected to crest at new record highs. I've been out sandbagging the last couple day, and it is starting to caught up with my body. it was really hard to get out of bed this morning, let alone come to work. i do still plan to get back out sandbagging after I'm done with work. School has been cancelled the last couple days because of this situation, and who knows what the future holds. I feel the sandbagging is going well, amny students have shown up to help. It really speaks for how committed the student body is to this cause. The crest will come on Thursday and we are all waiting to see if we are ready for it. Let us hope we are. Well stay safe and stay classy!

Snowed In!

The last two days have been fun! We have got like 10 to 15 inches of snow and white out conditions the last 2 days. I love how the week before spring break is one of the snowiest of the year. It killed many of our hopes of a warm dry spring, lol! What a way to leave school as well, going to Mexico or Florida with 80's and leaving behind 20's and a foot of snow! Now off to good news. spring break here I come! A week of nothing but relaxing and no school work, just what the doctor ordered. I may have some odds and ends of projects and writings to do, but for the most part, nothing. One draw back is I may have to do some house work, including cutting wood for next year. Locked myself out of my car on Monday at Biolife, cost me $40. I can't believe it's that much for a two minute jimmy of the door. We cancelled the meeting with the Alternative School today, because of the weather, more time to prepare I guess. Well, time to go, Stay Classy!

Bust Week Ahead!

It is time for Midterms, and I lucked out this year! No tests but 4 papers due by next Friday, none of them less than 5 pages in length! Enough venting. Really getting nervous about the RRLC teaching we will we doing. The RRLC (Red River Learning Center) is the local alternative school for students who need that little extra help. We will be doing a project with them in which we, college students, teach them certain art forms, including poetry, theater games, and painting. We work with the students in 5 one hour sessions, working on these projects. I am a little nervous on how it is going to go, but I have a strong optimism it is going to go well. We will be teaching inprov or theater games, which should be a blast! I think it will go well. On a more positive note, I cannot wait until the movie "I Love You Man" comes out. It looks funny. If it is anything like "Forgetting sarah Marshall," it should be good. Counting down the days until the wellness center opens up, from what I have heard it is March 23! Can't wait! Well, back to work, Stay classy!

Revolution!

We start the French Revolution game in my history class on Monday, and I can't wait to start it. I recieved a very interesting part in the revolution: the faction know as feuillant. We are a group of compromise, wishing to set up a Constitutional Monarchy. Yes ,some of you may be thinking, "blah, blah, blah, why do I care?" but it is really fun to learn history this way. You are a part of it, not just listening to accounts of it. Spring Break is only a couple weeks away and I can't wait to get there. I have no major plans, but a break from school is truly needed. I hope It goes by slow, so I can enjoy it while its there, but I'm sure it won't. One thing that is bad about Spring Break coming up is that it is also Midterm time. I lucked out this emester with few test to take, but the paper i have to write totally ruin any good that come out of it. I can't wait until May 15th, becuase I know then that I am free from school for at least a few months! Stay classy!
