Happy Birthday Lindsay!

A quick happy birthday to my sister in law Lindsay! She's far away in Mexico, probably spending the day in class and studying, but hopefully she can have a little time to celebrate! We'll be seeing her in about a week in CA so we can celebrate with her a little late....until then, have a great day!!

A nice Sunday

Yes, haven't been writing much lately.. Really, because nothing exciting has been going on and I try not to bore people.

After finishing grading and calculating my grades on Saturday, I was SO ready for a 'day off' on Sunday where I did not think about school all day (except for an hour or so in the morning when I worked). I went to a great brunch with my sister at the oh so yummy Sun in my belly and then Matt and I headed to the mall to pick up a few things for our ***trip*** (yay!). Matt had bought tickets for a 7pm showing of Dark Knight that evening, so we went on our way home from the mall. We waited in line to enter the theater but once in, got good seats and really enjoyed the movie. It is long....but so good. And of course, Christian Bale is just the best:)

Back to work for the week until we leave town- there's so much to do!

Coming to an end....

It's been a busy few weeks- not particularly exciting, but busy with summer school and such. Next week, everything is 'due'- my stuff and my students' final work, so after that will be lots of grading and turning in grades. I'm hoping to get a lot of planning done for fall semester which starts in a month (ah!) before we leave town (more on that later)....

Today was my last day of bootcamp. I've really enjoyed it, despite the early mornings (especially when I had to go the 6am instead of the 7am if I had an early meeting). I feel like my fitness has really increased, and this week on all of our 'end of camp' activities where we compare our scores and times to the first week, I improved greatly! I did almost twice as many push ups and squats as I did in week 1 today- woo hoo!

We also ran the Peachtree Road Race last week, which is a 10k. After going to bootcamp Monday-Thursday that week and the fact that I am not a runner by any means, running 10k on Friday was a little rough. It was my second year, but this year seemed harder- I think it was a combination of being sore from bootcamp and that the ending was more uphill than last year, which made my final impressions of the race very negative overall. We pretty much passed out for the rest of the day, so our 4th of July was pretty uneventful but fun.

We have a pretty laid-back weekend planned for this one. Hope yours is good!
