Quick summation of the past week and a half...
Giants won the Super Bowl in what is arguably the biggest upset in the Bowl's history, after a drive by Eli Manning that will go down in the archives of football legend. We had a few friends over for the shindig, and it was fun. The room was split on who everyone was rooting for: Ellice and Evan were pulling for the Patriots to close out the season undefeated and Mike and I were for the younger Manning to share in his older brother's success (Peyton Manning won the S-Bowl last year) and pulled for the New York Giants. Nate, as ever, was decidedly neutral during the affair, and just wanted to enjoy the evening. Good times, good times.
Classes have settled into a constant grind, which is a little better than the mad rush at the beginning of the semester. It's not merely a matter of adjustment; both of my professors intentionally front-loaded the semester. I can only imagine it's to drive out those that don't belong.
I actually got to play Volleyball this week and we won, for once. This season we've struggled, as hardly anyone can show up due to scheduling conflicts. My class didn't meet, (we had a home assignment as the prof was out of town, I think) so I thrilled at being able to play again after almost a two-month hiatus. I wasn't quite on top of my game, but I was fair.
UK has mended their losing ways, grabbing a few more wins. They seem to have acquired Coach Gillispie's mantra of toughness, grinding out some tough SEC wins at less than 100% strength. Injuries have plagued the team. After tonight's win against Auburn (on the road, no less), the cats have crawled out of the gutter with four straight wins and brought the record up to 11-9, with a very respectable 5-2 SEC record.
The weather was interesting last night. Apparently, Richmond just had a bunch of trash cans blown around, but reports in Lexington had a fair amount of damage, as did Winchester and other parts surrounding. The storms ravaged Tennessee, and reports are there are dozens of fatalities from the winter tornadoes. Our prayers go out to those affected.
Super Tuesday, and it looks like McCain is going to pull the nomination. Sigh. Too centrist for my taste. And worse, his stance on education is more of the same; let's continue NCLB, and not fund it, driving teacher's time away from teaching and test the students to death, pushing everything to private schools, where teachers make 1/3 to 1/4 of the salary (not joking). On the other side its Hillary and (ugh) Obama. Oi vay.
We find out next week whether we're having a boy or girl; should be fun. Other than that, there is little to report. Notice there is nothing in the way of books, as I have had little time to spare finishing one. I'm plugging away at a handful, but can't read more than a few pages a night. More next week perhaps?

Hey, just think with all this blah stuff that eventually there will be great stuff too. When we get out of school earlier than the other counties because we didn't have snow days you will be happy.. Espcially if I come early at all. :)
Book reviews: I haven't had much reading time either. But what is equally disappointing is to get 1/2way through a book and decide it's a waste of time and effort...and realize you wasted time and effort to get to that point.
Snow day: We're finally having our first and for no good reason that I can see. (The snowing was yesterday.) We make it up by giving up days off that are marked "unless snow days used." This does not make teachers happy. Of course, our testing is in March, so we can't afford much time off before that (but then we have no days off in April and May - go figure).
Super Bowl: didn't watch, secretly rooted for the Patriots for same reason as Ellice, plus the Giants put us out of the Bowl so why root for them?
I just hate it that Kentucky doesn't have a say until May; in other words, when things have already been decided.
I didn't watch the Super Bowl either, but I love it that you guys have friends over all the time. That is something we just don't do.
Do you remember the song "The Super Bowl Shuffle" from the 80's? They have it on YouTube.
I love that we get the days in May not lose days. otherwise I would go crazy and have a mental break down durig March and April. and if you have scheduled dr appointments durning breaks you have to cancel. At least we all know school will go a few days later than projected and can plan accordingly. Besides in the five years I ahve taught we have never made it to june, we have been out in may each time.. so I am not horribly worried.
