Homecoming

It is actually CNHS's homecoming this weekend, but what I'm referring to is Michael coming home on Wednesday. Yay! I always get extremely anxious a couple days before he's set to be home and so I'm really happy that he's home. And hopefully this time he'll stay here for awhile. He doesn't have any other school scheduled right now, but that doesn't mean that can't change. He did really well in his class. In fact, he was first in his class. And in other guard business, he is getting promoted again. Effective 01 October, he will be a Staff Sergeant (E6)! It's very exciting and we celebrated with a little (okay, a lot) ice cream cake last night. His new unit is in Gary. Not so happy about the distance (about a 3 hour drive), but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. This means he'll be staying up there on drill weekends and not coming home each night. I guess one weekend a month will be okay. I try to schedule my drill weekends the same as his anyway.

I'm getting pretty busy with school again. It always seems like the beginning of the semester is slow and then when we start getting into our projects and assignments things pick up really quick. I'm excited about the classes this semester though. Not necessarily all the work, but what we're studying and reading about is really interesting. I lost my student teaching placement. My special ed teacher has a different program and a very full schedule and so she didn't think that I would benefit from being with her next semester. So my professor pulled me from the school completely and is trying to find another placement for me. I'm not extremely happy about this. I liked the school and grade levels I would be teaching and now that isn't going to happen. I just hope they find me a place before January!
