Procrastination SUCKS!
man. . .putting off grading soo many papers sucks!! i had no idea how much work i really had to do until i sat my ass down and started doing it! one thing that i'm grateful for is having awesome students that are willing to help me with stuff! its awesome! i love it!! so im trying to finish up grading things so i can pass it all back to the kids so that have stuff to study with for their test on monday/tuesday. im kinda excited because im hoping that they've actually learned something! my grading was actually a little difficult and everything!! it really is amazing sometimes!!

spring fest is this saturday from 10-3. COSMO is going to do a booth for marbleizing paper. im kinda excited because this will be my first big thing without Jamia that i'm totally in charge of and doing by myself. its insane! i've never seen myself as being the head honcho before so im amazed that i'm as calm as i am!!!! it'll be fun though! im thinking maybe i should make shirts for the girls that are helping me out. that would be cool huh? something to think about!! =)

i really think that when you meet nice guys, as nice girls, you have a tendency to want them to hang around because they restore your faith in the opposite sex. i think with my past experiences, ive been anti-XY for periods of time. its nice to meet a person that's actually polite, considerate, ect. Mom made fun of me once sayin that i'm so use to bad guys that when i meet a nice one, i dont appreciate it. i think she was right except that now that im older, im starting to appreciate it more and more every day. it is a nice change of pace. i like it. Pam and i are on the same page here. we are like one mind when it comes to this topic!!

i know this is kinda depressing but i wanted to be able to put my thoughts down for the future. Pam hasnt been feeling too hot lately and i really think that sucks! for one, i really hope her Paw Paw gets better. we were talking about it this morning and it made me think about my grandpa. he passed away 5 years ago this June. its crazy to think its almost been that long!! the weird thing is despite him having a stroke when i was 10ish, being partially paralyzed since that time, being back and forth health-wise with a slow decline in his older years, i NEVER thought i would spend an adult day without him. when he passed away 2-3 weeks after i got back from my 1st year in Austin, i was devestated. he was the first and only loved one that i had ever lost. its funny but even now, after so long, when i think about it, it makes me tear up. he's one man that i definitely miss so much despite the fact that i dont remember what the last thing he said to me was (especially since he really wasnt able to talk in his last month of life.) i really do envy those people who still have grandparents. (i'm such a weenie for crying right now) Tabitha is really lucky that she has Mom and Dad right now who are gonna love her to death!! i miss my grandpa. he was the best, still is. sometimes you dont realize how much you miss a person until you really think about it. no matter what, i know he's watching over me somewhere. an amazing man who led an amazing life. . .
