Running...

Here's some pictures from the 10K I did a few weeks ago. This is the longest race I've run. Russ was kind enough to get up early and come take photos of the race.

My next race will be on October 30th. I think I should dress up for it because it's so close to Halloween. What do you think I should dress up as?

Sisters

Holly is my stepsister. We haven't been able to spend a ton of time together. Our parents got married when I was 20 and she was... I think 19.

Anyway, I enjoyed hanging out with her this Christmas. She is a really funny person, and the two of us together we hysterical. At least I thought so!

The chair

Chow is totally crushing on this chair. She met it on craigslist.
Today she brought it home.

What we're listening to...

It came out 2 weeks ago and it's pretty good- sounds like a soundtrack to a musical to me. It's also reawakened my love for American Idiot. 

Green day- I think the biggest band of our generation. Or so Russ has said and I finally agree. Thoughts???

Tuckered out

Poor Chow is all worn out from family visiting. The Utah fun
continues...lots more friends and fun still to come.

Mrs.Milner

I grew up in Utah. We sat 30-40 in a class. It always felt like we were shorthanded, the teachers had had the same job working the same classroom day in and day out for 20 million years.

Well I have been substituting here in San Marcos to reclaim my sanity from studying too much for the LSAT.

And guess what? It's different. I would say the majority of the subs I work with are certified teachers that could not find a job. It seems to be the norm, after student teaching, they sub for a year or two and then finally can get into a school. 

And the class sizes are so small! Today I substituted for a special needs class and had between 5-10 students. My other classes have been at max 20 kids. 

I just think it's a neat school district. Maybe it's a one in a million but they are organized and geared to the kids. 

The kids are smart too. I taught 5th grade and we somehow started talking about JFK and the assassination theories.

I mean I don't want tot be a teacher as a career. I just don't see it in the cards. But between now, the LSAT and maybe law school, it'll do.

Oh! And the other thing. The majority of the teachers I have worked with are working on their Master's. They are happy, but they are good examples of their student to continue to learn. 

So! two thumbs up, and a kudos to the San Marcos School District
