"We pass through this world but once. Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within."
--Stephen Jay Gould, The Mismeasure of Man

Here we are at a month and 7 days...

One of these days I'll figure out how to post more than once a month, or in this case, a few days after the month mark. High school teaching let out on May 31st and I've been more busy than when I was working full time and in school full time at the same time. The first week of June I taught a class to a group of my high school teachers to aid them in obtaining their basic reading endorsements. The school district pays for it and the get teaching credit and an endorsement added to their teaching license. This can result in pay raises, better knowledge, etc. Well, the class went from 8 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon every day. To prepare for it, I'd stay up until 2:30 AM the night before and would wake up at 6 to finish up...so I'm severely sleep deprived and wary of writing anything for anyone to read. I'm still keeping this schedule as a student and will be done in two weeks. Because I'm trying to post more, I'll finish this up later since I'm in a class and need to work right now.

Melanie! I was excited to find your blog off of your sister's, who is a friend of Tara, my sister-in-law. It was fun to catch up a little with you. You should blog more often, who needs sleep? It's overrated.

oh, looking at AHEM's comment, and if you do come to Arizona, you can visit me!
