School is going well for both Alex and I. I'm better adjusted to my new lifestyle (up at 5 and working 12 hour days). I never thought I would say this, but I miss college sometimes. It was nice sleeping in and seeing my friends on a daily basis.
Like I said, school is going pretty good. We took all 3 kindergarten classes on a field trip this past Monday to a pumpkin patch in the suburbs, it was a lot of fun! The weather was awesome and we all had a blast. It was interesting seeing their personalities outside of school and watching them run and play on real playgrounds! We also held a mock election at the school and the students had to come in on Tuesday to vote. We didn't have school this day because it was a teacher professional development day. Well... my class had the biggest turn out of all the k-4 classes and we won a pizza party that was held yesterday! It was pretty exciting to see that kindergartners were so enthused about voting. I voted not so bright, but definitely early on Tuesday morning. I was in line at 5:45 (ahhh!), but luckily I was 4th in line and in and out quickly.
It was pretty neat knowing that all of the activities were happening so close to us Tuesday night, a lot of teachers at my school went down to watch. The city is obviously extremely excited about the results.
Alex is done with his negotiations team. He was in St. Louis last weekend for a competition, but unfortunately they did not advance. Now he is getting ready to start his crazy finals study schedule (I don't know how he does it!). He only has about 3 weeks left of the semester and then finals begin.
Thanksgiving is around the corner and we are excited to go home for a few days, it will also be nice to be off for a few days as well. I have lots to do while I am there, but I am hoping to make it down to Edinburgh to do some shopping like last year. We had a blast- hopefully the rest of crazy people that did it with me last year will be up for it again! haha
The weather is getting much cooler and the sun sets at 4:45 each afternoon, but at least its light in the morning when I leave for school. Winter is definitely on its way, but that's okay- it means Christmas and time off to spend at home with my family and friends.
I hope everyone is doing well out there, keep me updated! Incase I forget to post in the next few weeks, Happy Thanksgiving!
