Off track?

So much for being off track and getting a break. Let me just outline my first couple of weeks off track:
Monday-Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Thank goodness I had the day off...and I went and saw "27 Dresses" with a couple of my girlfriends. I loved it-it was so funny!
Tuesday-Math class: 8-4 and then another math class from 4:30-8
Wednesday-Math class: 8-4
Thursday-Math class: 8-4
Friday-Math class: 8-4 and then I start my master's class, that's right, my master's. So my first class is Friday night from 5-9.
Saturday (Yes, Saturday)-Masters class 8-5
Monday-Math curriculum class 8-4
Tuesday-same as Monday
Wednesday-same as Monday

So much for a break right? The good news about all this is I love these classes! I have learned so much about teaching math and how to teach it differently to help my kids understand the whys. It's going to take some time, but I'm excited about it!

Just an Update, nothing too exciting

People have been bugging me about updating my blog....sorry, been a little busy, so here goes, except nothing that exciting has happened:
Kenyan and I had a fun, first, married, Christmas together. I woke up around 5:45 Christmas morning and couldn't go back to sleep, Kenyan couldn't either, so we opened presents! There weren't too many surprises, we bought ourselves a Nintendo DS so when we take our road trips to Vegas and Phoenix and wherever else we may go it will keep us busy. I will say, my brain weighs about 2200g from playing Brain Academy. :)
I don't think I mentioned this before, Kenyan and I both have callings in the ward now: Kenyan is the ward welfare specialist and I get to play the piano in primary as well as getting girls camp organized. Yep, I'm the ward Girl's Camp director! I'm a little stressed about this. Let's just say, it's the middle of January, we have a one week time period in which I can do Girl's Camp around school and taking master's classes, but we don't have a campsite yet. Anyway, we'll save that for another blog.
The good news is I go off track in one week, for a much needed three week break! Yea!
