Summer Yet?

I am going to start this update on good notes. 1) Got my first test back from my class and it was a solid A, though a perfect score would be nice cause I am like that. 2) My block 4 is turning out pretty good, in fact I think I might learn a few things from him. It is good to see a young teacher with good ideas coming into the field, thought I will be honest part of me wants to yell RUN! RUN WHILE YOU CAN!!! But he really is good and I believe he will work out. The only other good note I have is I got to spend all afternoon in Kent Library yesterday. For some of you that may seem really weird but I like it. Searching through the stacks of books for what you need while no one else is up there. Then reading and outlining, there is just something relaxing about it.

Now to the bad notes. Baseball is kicking my butt. This is two hours+ I could be using on a lot of things and I am sitting at practice. Don't get me wrong I love baseball, I have been around it since I was 4 years old. I am just not going to make it a priority with all my other things. I am not spending $800 a class to get a B. At the same time I am a moron by agreeing to be in this spring play. I knew I would have no time but I did it anyway, now the time is getting close and I need to get these lines down. I really must learn how to say no. I can think of no other things to add to this except life is busy, and I am ready for a break.
