I have been doing the following:
1. PTA (planning, teaching and assessment) assignment (1000 words)
2. PTA folder of evidence
3. Art project (3000 words)
4. Special Interest project (3000) words
5. Science folder of evidence and assessment
6. Maths folder of evidence and assessment
7. Read and make notes on a novel for English

But I have finished it all! Yay! Now I can have a few days rest before term starts again on Monday. We've got two more weeks at college then we're into our final 8 week placement- after that I'll be a qualified teacher! Scary thought.

Congrats on the home finding and the bullet dodging. New house stuff is exiting! Wedding stuff is even more exciting!
7 & 8 are the kind of things that make me worry about wanting to live in the city (not the windshield crack but the fact that you were in a pile up in the first place).

My list:
1. Work - I've been getting more done since it's been so dead around here.
2. School
3. I'm also costantly cruising the realty sites and doing math in my head about home loans, 401k loans, money market accounts, etc. But that's just because I can be obsessive like that.
4. I saw 300. At Movie Tavern.
5. They fed me chicken by mistake and it was dark and I ate nearly half od the sandwich before I realized it.
6. Tonight I have to go to a bachelorette party for someone I don't really like much (no, not Meredith). The bride actually kinda snubbed me when I ran into her fiance @ Movie Tavern, where we both saw 300.
7. I realized my very favorite frozen spinach tamales that I've been eating for years apparently changed their reciepe God knows when and now has something called "MEAT FAT" in it. Probably horse.
8. Monday Jason and I went to see Dana at Opening Bell Coffee (which is a cute place and you should all check it out).
9. Sunday = EdgeFest.
10. Next weekend I'm going to the wedding associated with #6, and then back to Opening Bell Coffee to see my friend Sam.
11. Scarborough on the 28th.

See, I can look busy! I know it's nothing compared wo Squeezle and Mere's lists, but it sure seems like I'm always busy.

also, I got Jen's CD last night, which I haven't listened to yet but the track list has me excited! :)
