Now that Spring Break is over, panic mode is setting in. We only have about five weeks left of school! Holy crap, I've got a lot to catch up on!
We are now looking for someone to take over my post next year. I've got mixed feelings about the whole process. I know that the center needs someone new, someone with different views and different skills. I think the center needs someone who can better reach out to our students and who can transform the position to something that better fits the needs of our students. At the same time, I'm a bit sad to be leaving the position. It has been a very good year full of growing experiences for myself and the center, and it will be hard to stop doing those things which the position demanded, like keeping office hours and meeting students and talking with them during those hours. I won't, however, miss trying to find a babysitter in the middle of the day or putting off time with my daughter because I have so many things that I need to do. So mixed feelings all around. If you want to apply for this position, please feel free to contact me, and I can get you all the information you need!
I am excited for the end of the semester in terms of ending the loads of homework. I'm looking forward to tending a garden, and our first family vacation to Disneyland. Summer will be a good break for me.

Spring Break Fever
WOW! Next week is Spring Break! I'll be glad for the opportunity to get caught up in my classes because I've unfortunately fallen behind in a few things. And, of course, Spring Break promises some sun-soaking opportunities, I hope. Picnic lunches, walks outside, etc.
Speaking of walking, my daughter learned to walk this week! We were so excited because she wasn't even really showing any signs of even wanting to walk until one day while we were outside and the neighbor kids were playing and running around on the grass. My daughter never liked to leave the patio behind our apartment because she hates the feel of grass and would have to crawl on the grass if she wanted to leave the patio. The next day, she decided that it was about time that she started walking so she could play with the kids outside. She still needs to hold someone's hand while she walks around, but she's doing it! It's fun to watch her discover all of the things out in the world like twigs, blades of grass, leaves, and pine cones.
Next week is our CEU-USU activity! It's going to be a BLAST! We've got pizza and veggie trays for all, and the kids will be able to have a story corner and a movie. The adults will be watching "Arsenic and Old Lace." It was hard to find, but I finally found and ordered a copy. I hope we'll have a good turnout!
