Update

I figured I could update since I have some free time on this lazy Saturday.

My life is pretty hectic right now. This week I was in class or teacher aiding for 25 hours and doing homework for another 25. I have only had to do this much homework one other time in my life. I think it is good for me though, I need to learn how to organize and finish my work, especially when there is a lot of it.

Spring Break was last week and my friend Alex and I went on a "basketball road-trip". We went down to Oklahoma City for the Big XII championship, swung down to Texas and spent a couple days at South Padre Island, then drove up to New Orleans for the 1st and 2nd rounds of the NCAA tournament. We had awful tickets for all the games, but we ended up sneaking down to the lower levels for most of them and even sat front row a few times, which was awesome. Watching basketball live is such an experience, these guys are so much bigger and faster up close. It makes me want to get court side seats for an NBA game sometime.

In other news, on the encouragement of my girlfriend, I got a job at a summer camp from June - August this summer. It's a really, really nice camp in Southern Maine called Camp Takajo and I will be the head basketball instructor for boys age 8-10. I am really excited about it because it is an actual summer long camp that the kids come to for two straight months. Apparently it is ran fantastically and they have a 96% retention rate from year to year. I am really excited about the opportunity.

I should also mention that I am dating a girl named Rebecca who I have dated a couple times before. She occupies a lot of my free time, the little that I have, and I couldn't be happier.

It looks like everything should be on track for me to student teach next semester and then graduate (again) with my teaching degree next December. I am really ready to get out in the classroom and have an opportunity to influence other people's lives. It's such a huge responsibility, but I can't imagine a more rewarding profession for myself.

Alright, that's all, thanks for keeping up and God bless.
