It is finally the end of the semester. It is a reading day, and Brandon is working today. I still have school, but my last day is Friday. I am excited to finish and then graduate. It is going to be great to be an official college graduate. My mom and I have been counting down and we are down to 8 days.
However, the end means that I have to leave the students. They are so stinkin' cute. I can't believe how attached they are to me. Today I had to be the mean teacher and take away recess minutes to make them practice being quiet and walking in the hallway. However, still after that they are so excited when I teach them something or tell them something about my life. They are the sweetest kids in the world. They went to the Cougar Store today and just the smallest things made them happy. It still just blows my mind to see how kind they are. They asked me yesterday if I could come visit every Friday. When I told them that I couldn't come every Friday they then changed their minds to Tuesday. I really love each one of these students, and they are all so different. It is going to be sad to leave on Friday.
Brandon is doing great. he just left for a review. He is so happy to be at the end. He had been working on many different projects at once, and they are done. All that he has left is a couple finals and a research paper.

Lonely Evening
Well, Brandon is gone on a ROTC FTX, which is a field training exercise. He left yesterday and won't be home until sometime tomorrow. I therefore will be having a lonely Friday night.
Since he was going to be gone yesterday, I just stayed up in the Salt Lake area for a meeting about the school I am going to be working at. It was a meeting about the curriculum, and it seems like it is going to be a great experience. However, that meant that I had to find a way to spend about 3 hours between school and the meeting. I had to go and turn in my new hire paperwork, then after that I went to the Jordan River temple. It was nice to just spend time there, and to get away from life. After a long day at school, that is just what I needed.
School is going good, but I am ready to have my own classroom. The kids have spring break next week, which means they have Thursday, Friday, and then the next Monday off. Not a whole week, but it will be a nice break before the end.
Brandon is getting ready for the grind of end of the semester. He has many assignments left and tests. It seems like he is always doing homework, but that is not a bad thing. However, he is ready to be done with this year. He keeps on telling me that he just can't wait to be done with college in general.
