Teaching takes a lot of energy out of me, and I just want to collapse when I get home. Don't get me wrong, I like it. I just wish it wasn't so exhausting. Tomorrow I'm going to be out and I need to make this update quick so I can write up a lesson plan for the sub. I have to attend a bunch of seminars for BTSA (Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment) even though I have been through all this crap for my Pennsylvania teaching credential. It's actually a very time consuming process and will take me 2 years to complete, which is why I'm most likely going to stay here at least another year. Lindsey and I decided to throw down some money for these classes and seminars so we will not only get get credit for BTSA but also actual college credit. This will help us rise in pay scale and we can take it with us anywhere we move. Makes sense right? That's why I find it very surprising more people in the program DO NOT choose this option. I guess if you don't have the money to spend or you plan on staying in Bakersfield for life...
I had a pretty good weekend. Yesterday we had a little get together at the apartment to watch the PSU / ND game on the big screen. It was really nice to be around other PSU alums, even if I didn't know them while we all attended - and at the same time, no less! My only regret is that I wasn't at the game. I can't begin to describe how much I miss it, but you can't stay in college forever! I "borrowed" some pictures from the game, though, for your viewing pleasure. All credit to Mark Sellers for these gems.
Afterwards (since it was only 6pm here), Jeff, some of his co-workers, and I went to Brews in the Village. I have never been to a beer tasting event, but this was slightly reminiscent of Musikfest (which I had to miss this year). We had to pay, but our ticket price included 15 samples (but really, you could get as many as you want, they didn't check), great food from all over town, and lots of live music. The festival was limited to 4,500 people and it sold out. We had a really good time. Especially Jeff:
I must sign-off for now so I can get some grading in and write up my lesson. And how could I forget, the GIANTS are on tonight!! :)

Carol,
So glad you were able to catch the game on ESPN,and still have time to go out later, while the rest of us went to bed. Too bad the Canaries don't play well,
(Liberty 55- Allen 0) But at least the band sounds great.
Talk to you soon
Love
If Austin Scott can hold on to the football, the season will go much better. ou can love your Giants, but the Steelers are for real.
