Twilight.

I decided to read Twilight during my winter break so that I can understand what the hysteria is all about with pre-teen and teen girls. I am over half way through the book and I am undecided as to how I feel about it. It is an interesting story, yet I am so tired of reading about Edward's beauty. His eyes are smoldering, glowing, and dazzling. His muscles ripple, his smell is intoxicating, and his teeth are perfectly spaced and gleaming white. His movements are swift and graceful and he stops every female in her tracks. I GET IT! If I took out all the descriptions about Edward, I would have about 5 pages left. I guess the author really wants us to understand that vampires are hot. Too bad about the whole blood-sucking thing.

I'm back...

It has been a while since I have posted. My excuse is school, work, Grace, church, and many more obligations. The good news is that I am now on winter break. Christmas is over and a lot of my stress is melting away. I have now officially completed 12 hours of coursework toward my MEd. I also completed the extra course, Exceptional Children, that I need for certification. Right before Christmas I took the Basic Skills GACE tests and I passed them. Next week I take the Media Specialist tests and if I pass them, I will be employable. So things are starting to fall into place and I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I will not graduate until next December, but I am still going to try and convince someone to hire me. I really am a nice person...isn't that what is truly important?
