...and a little more real now that November is here. So much to do, so little time! I have been doing a lot of reading lately, obviously about the Costa Rican flora and fauna, but also some fiction books written with Costa Rica as the setting. My fav so far is by Barbara Ras; it's a series of short stories so it's just right for reading a few pages at a time. I don't seem to have any long stretches of time for reading these days! Looking forward to potential snow days in January and February for that.
I am working hard on creating some cool projects for my classes, but don't want to give away too much just yet. I am also working on my packing list and I believe I might just be able to fit everything in my bag. Now coming home may be a different story! I am bringing a few things that I am not in love with, so I can leave those behind should I need to make room in my luggage on the return trip. Learned that tip from traveling to Europe in 2009 with a colleague (Denny Jackson for you locals) and it has served me well!
Until I have something interesting to say, adios!
PS: The photo above is my family on our Fall Break getaway to a cabin near Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We rented a place with two other families, so 6 adults and 6 boys, oy! My friend Jackie took this photo and I am pleasantly surprised that Sam is not frowning or turning his head away. :-) Love you, Sam!
I love Mrs. Smith

ReplyDeleteI hope you have a fun and safe trip. I will miss your mood in the class, for it makes school tolerable for the most part. It also make science even more interesting.
