so, where to start...I've been swamped with homework the last couple of weeks, but somehow I've gotten it all done! it's actually been pretty amazing how productive my attempts at productivity have been (don't worry if that didn't make any sense...I knew what I was talking about and it makes sense if you think like I do). anyways, I've been working on all sorts of education type endeavors...making content outlines and other such stuff...my first lesson plan should be due this week. my unit is on plate tectonics and I've decided to go with the third lesson out of 5 (convergent boundaries). it should be good, but I'm kind of nervous about getting it done on time and then presenting it in class. (who knows when that will be except it's not this week or next week) so, in other classes, I had a field trip all last weekend...in Kentucky...collecting fossils...yes, I know, I am sooo cool. it was fun, despite the pouring rain and flash flooding...and the wet tents...oh, yes, we slept in tents and they did leak. not terrible, though, just a bit damp. suffice it to say, I had fun but I didn't get enough sleep for about 2 weeks straight due to a lack of conducive environment on the weekend between the two weeks. this weekend, though, I got probably in excess of 20 hours sleep between Friday and Saturday nights combined. it was awesome. and the puppy. she's pretty cute. and she bugs the living daylights out of Molly, our 2 year old puppy. but Molly is being a good sport about it and Maxie will hopefully learn about personal space and hygenic space soon. and I can't find my camera cord or I'd put some pics from the weekend on here, but some that my mom and dad sent me will have to do...here is Maxie sleeping on my dad's arm. she is very cute and a bit "ferocious"...as in she is a very vocal little thing.
