Winter??

Well the weather this weekend has been great! Yesterday it was in the 60s and sunny. Today, while it was 30 when I woke up, it is now in the mid 50s and sunny! I am getting used to this warmer weather. I hope it continues for dad's visit so we can have outdoor adventures around the city (he's not into the shopping thing that mom and gram and I did). haha

My two classes this semester are proving to be ALOT more work than the two last semester, and on top of it, I have to take a "workshop" for school (work) that is 4 hours every Wed. night and we have work to do for that.  I need 30 hours in each day.

Here is a poem that I wrote for part of a project for my writing class. This is just the rough draft but I thought you might like to read it. I have never been into writing poetry (still not). Therefore, I thought about the poems that Alicia and I (with her mom's help!) use to make up for the boys before football games (silly poems that had a Dr. Sues quality)  and used that to write this poem.

Last Minute New Life

I never imagined living so far away

My family a plane ride

Snuggled into bed, as I lay

I imagine how my life went to this side 

For me it was quite spontaneous

Most would consider it planned

It all is a little humerus

I knew I needed to learn, on my own to feet to stand

My intention was only the summer

No job to go home to

It all sounded like quite a bummer 

There was something I must do

I applied and applied 

With no luck in sight 

My brain felt fried

I held on with all my might

Why not apply in Georgia to teach? 

What could it hurt?

These jobs might be within reach

I was on the alert

Long story short

I was offered a job outside the city

Would my family support?

For I was a tad bit giddy 

So there it all began 

A new life 

In a foreign land

I hopped for a lack of strife 

Honest comments welcome. 

I am hoping to take some nice pictures this afternoon while the sun is shinning. Look back soon for an update!
