What we've been up to....

So school is in full swing for the both of us, and I thought I would sum everything up really quick, since I haven't been the best blogger of late.

As far as I can gather about the second year of Med School, there is a TON more work, but the material is more interesting, relevant, and applicable. I don't know how it's possible to study more than he did last year, but everyone says that you just have to make it happen. CRAZY! Caleb is really studying hard, yet he is still maintaining some good balance. I'm so glad I'm not the one in Med School! (as is any future patient I might possibly have...). So basically, he is studying all the time, and that is the summary! He's also CMDA co-president and he does a lot with it.

Teaching school again is keeping me so much busier than I used to be, but I didn't do much of ANYTHING at my old job, so that isn't saying much. This semester I have 1st block off, then English 11 (which is for Juniors) and 3rd and 4th blocks are Drama I. I happen to LOVE the block schedule. I only teach three classes a day, meaning I only have to keep up with about 90 students, versus 160. It's so much easier! Plus, I have an hour and 45 minute planning period. NICE! It still is incredibly time consuming to put together lesson plans. I spend my entire planning period grading and making copies, and I do lesson plans on the weekends. My goal is to try to get about two weeks ahead since I have a few weddings coming up on the weekends pretty soon.

PJ Joey is growing like a big dirt-covered weed. We have to leave her outside all day long while we're gone, but she seems to be doing ok. I feel like I am constantly vacuuming all the dirt she drags in, but that is just all part of being a pet owner, I suppose.

Anyway, this is a super boring post. Sorry. I would love to hear what everyone is up to these days, so feel free to leave a comment and let me know how life is!
