November Time...

All right, so I guess it's time for my monthly post. I promise. I really am getting better at this. I think I've already done more than last year (if we don't count all of the Germany updates).

So I talked a little bit about Drama, Debate and Forensics. I got back late Saturday night from a tournament with them, and I'm so proud of how they did. Lots of places, and they also just did well overall with memorizing their pieces, and being prepared (and listening).

This was our 1st Place in Reader's Theatre, with "English Made Simple".

All of the students except one, who was off at the Lincoln-Douglas Debate finals.

Well, we are Homer. Who else would be our mascot? ;-)

So those are some of the kids who are involved. They're really an awesome bunch, and the bus trips, though long and arduous, are pretty much amazing most of the time. They definitely make them amazing.

Next up are some pictures of my apartment. I'll post them, and label them, though most of them are relatively self-explanatory.


This is the view when you walk into my front door. You can see my kitchen and counter-space (or lack-there-of). It's my one problem. I've gotten much better at prepping sitting down, and using the kitchen table for my prep work. Not my favorite thing, but it works.


This is the opposite shot, back at the door. I'm happy to have my bookshelf (although it's already overflowing). Oops.


This is the view into my bedroom, from the door. Learning the guitar is still a work in progress, though I do occasionally get my practice pad out and do some stick control, when my shoulder/wrist decide that they're going to let me.


This is the rest of my room (aka the bed). I'm definitely a fan of it. It's comfy. Much better than before.


Relatively self-explanatory, this is my bathroom. I actually like how it came together (the shower curtain was there, I added the rugs, which also match the carpet in my bedroom).

And of course, this is a view off my front porch.
