Pat and I have been pretty busy since school started back up for each of us. While nothing exciting has happened we've both been incredibly busy. Pat started and finished his first rotation already at Planned Parenthood her in St. Pete. The hours were different each day and he was always leaving herpes pamphlets on the counter so needless to say I'm glad he's done with the rotation! Although they really seemed to enjoy having him there! Check out the picture of the card they gave him on his last day. He's moved on to family medicine in St. Pete and now feels the pain of having to get up while it's still dark out.
On my end, school is leaps and bounds better than last year. The students are much better. I only have about four that make me go crazy but with the new bell schedule it's eliminating a lot of the issues. Tomorrow marks the opening of our new building on campus and it's beautiful. I've moved rooms last week from the third floor to the first. I'm not feeling as stressed out which may be why I've signed up for just about everything else this year. Outside of teacher, I tutor now on Mondays and Wednesdays, work ABS (alternative bell schedule - 4 hour after school suspension) every Friday, I now lead the Student Literacy Team, and the University of Florida Inquiry Coach. I'm still taking UF Master's classes and working on my ESOL endorsement too.
A few weeks ago Momma and Papa Beyer rolled through St. Pete for a weekend and we had fun. Some Boilermaker chili made watching college football just perfect. While Pat was working, the three of us headed to John's Pass and did some shopping and some wine tasting, but mostly some wine tasting. :) It was a great weekend.
Just this past weekend Pat's parents came down to visit and surprised me with an early birthday get together complete with a birthday cake and singing. I was a lucky girl and they gave me a gift, my new "beep beep"...you know one of those things that locks/unlocks your car for you. :)
Brutus, well, he's doing just fine. Although, he got bit by something this past week and looked a hot mess, covered in big bumps. Come to find out, he loves relaxing just as much as anyone else...
Overall, life is good...busy as ever, but still good.
