Monday afternoon is never ending

Yay! My first term at graduate school is officially over and I think I got straight A's this term. This program is really different from Scripps: less reading, less writing, fewer tests, but longer days and more classes at a time. Also, since I have to spend 10 hours a week at my school placement (a middle school out in the suburbs) and I'm working 15 hours a week, I feel like I'm never home.

Lynn and I just madly cleaned the apartment. It needed to be done, but also, some of the ladies from my cohort are coming over in about half an hour to have an SDEP (secondary dual educators program) ladies event. I am going to do a Passion Parties demo (ask Sarah Schneider, I am brilliant) and then we're going to hang out and maybe order pizza or something. I'm excited.

Now I am sitting on my bed with the gray cat and wasting a few minutes. I hate cleaning, by the way.

I miss you guys but everything is pretty rocking around here. You all have an open invitation to come crash in our apartment whenever you want to come visit Portland. We would love to have you. (Providing you aren't severely allergic to cats. Then there could be a problem.)
