Homework is going well. I have 326 words to go to reach the 900 word count. It isn't difficult to b.s. my way through the assignment, I was lucky enough to have a couple of teachers, where I work, answer some questions for me and help give me ideas of what to write. I still have to get three more teachers input and then incorporate it into my final essay.
Also this weekend is a time for recouping, no I'm not sick (well a touch of bronchitis, maybe) but all is actually well. Finally took the Christmas tree down (yeah)! The house looks much bigger all of a sudden with it gone. I don't think its bad that it finally came down considering we didn't get it put up until three days before Christmas!
James found a cool way to play his electric guitar along with some bar blues music he found on his computer and has actually improved in the last couple of months. I like listening to him play now!

English 101
Well, the work/school week is over. I have one more assignment due on Sunday for college and I'm doing real well this go 'round in English 101. The assignment? A 900 word rough draft expository essay, my topic? The Negative Effects of Standardized Testing.
This may be a controversial subject but its one I'm passionate about and something as a parent I don't agree with. Not all parents or teachers will agree with me that Standardized Testing is a bad thing, but everyone is entitled to their opinions, to be heard and not be made to feel bad about it.
Yes this my second time taking it, but I have a different instructor and that makes a world of difference for me. I am actually liking English now. I have done much better so far and I feel more confident in turning in my assignments a day early.

Back to Work
Well, it's back to work tomorrow and I'm not sure I'm quite ready for it. Oh, the laundry is done and I have clothes picked out to wear for the week, but still I've been off for two weeks and I didn't even have to attend my online college. So it's been nice having to do absolutely nothing but veg and watch Carli grow. Oh well, its time and I must so I will.
