Whew..

The last 1o days have absolutely flown by!

Besides school being crazy busy with IEP meetings, preparation for the CSAP, tutoring, etc. Mike B. came last Thursday for interviews out here, and stayed with me for a week, and just left today.

We did all kinds of fun things while he was here including another Coors Brewery tour, a night out in LoDo, an Avalanche (pro hockey) game, a Nuggets game, and some nights out in Cap Hill. Lots of fun, very little sleep, but good to see him and show him around Denver.

This past Thursday my room mate from college, Jackie, came with her best friend out here from Wisconsin for a ski/snowboard trip to Keystone. I took a sick day Friday and we skiied a half day and then a full day Saturday. We had a blast, spent the night out there with another friend from college, enjoyed the slopes and some good drinks and eats.

It was hard/sad for me to say good bye to everyone today because I hate it when people leave me, but I have a very busy week ahead. I have a video lab for my licensure class, (where I have to record myself teaching and the other students in my class watch and critique me) I have parent/teacher conferences in the evening two days this week, and chaperoning the Valentine's dance on Friday. Then we have next Monday and Tuesday off. It will be crazy getting through this week but AMAZING to have a 4 day weekend.

I went to Daunte's basketball game at the Boys and Girls club last Thursday and watched him play. He's pretty good! I was happy to show my support for him and see what he is passionate about. Even though he is squirrely in class, he is quite good at basketball, and he loves to play. I have invested a lot in him and had some good conversations with him about school, life, etc. I enjoy him as a student and hope that going to his game made a little difference.

Okay, have to finish up one project for my class then off to bed for a busy week ahead.
