Happy Fall!

The calendar officially says that it's fall, as does the weather. Had to go out early this morning to start the car so that it could warm up, and the frost could melt. This is my favorite time of the year. There's enough of a chill in the air that bundling up is wonderful, but it's not completely and totally frigid every time you walk outside. The leaves are ablaze with color (making me miss Houghton more and less at the same time), and driving around time makes me remember why I love fall. It is truly my favorite season.

Updates on the rest of life...

This past Sunday marked 6 months for Ben and me. The momentous holiday was celebrated with my Packers winning (and his Seahawks), pizza, and watching Big Bang Theory on DVD. In general, a very relaxing day, mostly because I've been sick. I actually went to the doctor yesterday, and she did not make much sense ("I think it's viral, so here's an antibiotic"), but I am hoping that I got the right stuff that will help me kick whatever this is. Here's to hoping!

School's going pretty darn well. We're three weeks out from the first concert, and the students are sufficiently worried to practice all weekend (and really sufficiently prepared that we will be fine). My Beginning Band can now play 5 notes, though the true test will be next Thursday - we'll see how much they can accomplish on their own. It's going to become very important, because I see them on Thursday and Friday every week, which gives them plenty of time to either practice or forget. We'll see...

Physical Science has done three labs so far, and we have our first test on Tuesday. I have to make up a review worksheet this weekend, but the test is already done. Thankfully the worksheet shouldn't take too long - I'll get that done on Sunday after my Packers destroy the Broncos.

In short, other than being sick, things are going pretty darn well. It's a good year, and I'm working to try to keep up a social life on top of all the classes (oh yeah, and the biggest Drama, Debate and Forensics team in a while... with a tournament 3 weeks from today). Yay for being busy!
