So, things with the 19yr old woman are moving nice and slow. She is amazing, and we have a ton in common. This could be a good thing no matter which way it goes. It is odd, I met somebody purely on accident that is thoughtful, intelligent, into literature, and writing and photography... Hmmmmmmmmm, we will see.

I have three tests and three papers in the next week. BUT, if I get lucky my paper load will drop and those wont be due for another month. I am supposed to put together a portfolio of my writing for the English Dept. But, because I am returning to school after 10yrs away or something, I do not have all the papers that I need, which means I would have to finish three of the ones I have this semester for this portfolio. I just got word that the requirements changed to only one paper (which I did last semester), and if that is true it could be a HUGE relief for me this week.

Teaching has been up and down. I have one group of kids that just suck. Seriously. Then, I have this other group that are bigger behavior problems and I introduced them to Creative Writing and they just took to it like crazy... One girl that I couldnt get to care about anything said "I used to hate that poetry stuff, but I am so glad you made us do it, it was a lot of fun!"
