Internet and Class Pets

My internet is officially up and working! Woo hoo! It's been a long time coming, but it is finally all set up. :)

It's been a long week- two meets and resuming normal classes after ISTEP testing. However, tomorrow I've canceled practice and the day suddenly seems much more manageable. Of course, it is the beginning of the James Dean festival which is, naturally, sufficient reason to suspend all normal activities. But the true reason behind the change in schedule is my long-anticipated road trip to Kalamazoo. One of my dearest friends is currently in her first year of medical school. This weekend she is flying home from Colorado for her commissioning ceremony into the Army. You know, just a minor occasion. :P So myself and another gal or two from the area are driving up to join in the celebrations, and just for a chance to see her again.

On another note, I now have two 'class pets'. They are plastic key chain animals, a cow (Sheldon) and a tiger (Kenneth), that make noises and light up. Two of my junior high boys gave them to me to 'babysit' during the day. They think it's the greatest thing ever. And, I'll be honest, I get a kick out of the moo-ing sound that the cow makes. Oh the adventures of junior high.
