Thou praisest the worst best.

Blah, blah, blah, next time I'll write more often, blah blah blah.

Cool things that have happened lately:
*Got accepted in the Masters program for the Graduate English Program at the University of St. Thomas. Yay!
*Chris got accepted into the Masters program for Public Health at the UMN. Go Chris!
*Started physical therapy for my knees a couple weeks ago. I've been doing the exercises for the most part, and have seen some progress. Go me!
*Bought a new hybrid bike. I haven't used it outside a parking lot yet. But as soon as the weather stays consistently nice and my knees get stronger, I know I'll be out there. Chris got one too :)
*Took students on a Saturday field trip to the Guthrie to see A Raisin in the Sun. So I got paid to see play that would cost me $30. And the kids were well-behaved, loved the play, and were awestruck by the architecture of the new Guthrie theater.
*Saw a lot of improv comedy shows and a couple good movies. Go Mustache Rangers! Go Boom Town! And yay for I Love You, Man.
Annoying things that have happened lately:
*Got some sort of stomach flu when I visited Karin in Madison. Aside from being sick at my friend's house, which is not fun, I also missed out on visiting my other friends in the area and in Milwaukee and Chicago.
*Had a migraine yesterday that put me out of commission from 5pm-6am the next day.
*Paid way too much money to the government. Stupid taxes.
*Everyone is busy! Including myself...but it just has made most people inaccessible and stressed out.
Interesting things that will happen soon:
*Teaching Shakespeare for the first time to my 11th and 12th graders. Othello is not my favorite, but it seemed the most accessible. Crossing my fingers.
*....more blogging....
