Spring Break and other thoughts

So... this week was Spring Break! It was a relaxing week. I was suppose to go to Georgia, but didn't. Which, it all turned out for the best because I went with my mom to Louisville, AL to a funeral of a dear friend of the family, which was an all day event on Tuesday. The rest of the week I have done whatever I pleased. A glimpse into the summer I think. Even though I do need some sort of money making venture this summer... it would be nice to pay some bills off and get back to normal. Instead of living pay check to pay check, since I depleted my savings.

This week has been a texting week as well. My students, spending Spring Break in Various parts of the country, sent me text messages.... And I got to thinking. Texting is an interesting invention. You can have a conversation with someone and never really have a conversation. You are connected at all times, but not really. Your conversations never really end, because as thoughts come into your head... you type them and send them over the airwaves. It is a personally impersonal way to communicate. Yet, people call this sort of communication "talking". It really cracks me up! Because you aren't talking, you are having conversation in the simplest form.... yet it isn't interaction.

I can't believe it is only 8 weeks until exams. This year has flown by! And I have SO much to do in the semester!!!!! I won't be at school any Friday in April!!! The 1st Friday is Youth Legislature, the 2nd is Easter (Good Friday), the 3rd - I am taking my personal day and finally going to Georgia, and the 4th we have State Congress for Forensics!!!! So, really, I only have 1 weekend free in April, and it is Easter Weekend. It will be a whirlwind of a month... and then May comes!!!! Exams start the 15th... we are finished at school on the 21st... and hopefully my room is cleaned by then, and I don't have to return until the beginning of August.

I am enjoying my life at the moment... sometimes I have some empty parts that I would like to fill in the near future.... but we will see what God has in store!

Well, I am wasting my last weekday of Spring Break away, in front of the computer! Go enjoy the sunshine!
