End of the Quarter

I am dead to the world. O.K. This is not some emo/depressed post. I'm just so busy that people might start thinking I am dead. I have to keep it short, but I wanted to talk about two things.

The end of the quarter is this Friday. I hate this time of the year. So much to do and so much to make sure I have accounted for. I also have grad school this Saturday so I probably won't post again until after that since I have to prepare for class on top of all the grading. Gah!

The other thing I wanted to talk about is my boot camp instructor from this weekend. She's mean. ;-) I went running with Kate three times this last (long) weekend! How awesome is that? She made me run more than I have before and it was hard. I was also a huge baby about it too. Poor Kate. The last run we ran straight for 20 minutes but I made her pause for me half-way through. I seriously did think I was going to be sick but she was very motivating because I didn't want to make her annoyed with my lack of running endurance. If you know me and Kate, you know that I want to do what she's doing. If she's annoyed with me, than maybe she won't let me tag along on her runs. We can't have that. Like I said, good motivation.

So Kate really isn't mean at all--she's a wonderful person do exercise with because she has amazing focus. I want to be like Kate, always have. :-)

Maybe I have three things I want to talk about (this is getting longer than I anticipated). Today we had school and my students came in with the same question, "Did you get your hair cut?" Then came the follow-up suggestions. "You should make a fro!" "You should get a perm and make it bigger!" "You shouldn't cut it again until this time next year." Middle schoolers are so opinionated. I don't think I'll take their suggestions though...

Videos of Cosmo... because I just can't stop filming him.
