Life

[AngieDoogles]

School starts back in a week...but it will be completely different for me this semester. Instead of classes, I will be working from 8-4:30 every day (except Fridays when I'll work 8-12 and go to class from 1-4). No more laid back college schedule. lol I'll definitely miss it, but I'm looking forward to the field experience. I met my field supervisor and she is super sweet. I think I'll learn a lot by working with her. My first day is this coming Wednesday.

What's going on in your life? Anything new or exciting?

Hi Angie,
I'm a college professor and I start back to classes week after next. We have a workshop and meetings next week. I think I am ready for classes the week after (I hope) I have enjoyed my holiday break, but I am always ready to go back. I love teaching!!!

I have decided that it's time to start a life up here. I need to meet new friends, and to find things to do that I like.

My daughter is also into this, and we're going to go to an open mike place near her house on Friday nights. There is also a Saturday afternoon artists forum in my town, beginning next week, which I'm going to attend. Jessie would like to sing there, maybe with Mackenzie. Jess has a voice like an angel, and Mackenzie is very good too.

Then, last night I found an ad in the local paper for a Catskill Womens' Network! It always works that way. When the student is ready to learn, the teacher will appear. I called and spoke to a nice woman. They get together once a month, go to restaurants, etc. They're mostly city women who have moved up here.

Now - to start yoga, go to meditation and look for pottery.

And....I'm going to meet that wonderful man this year.

I'm helping Dae Lynn and Damon out financially by watching Karlie while they work. She's an adorable child but is still a handful. Once again this morning she told me that "she appreciated me"!!! So cute!

That's the biggest change in my life right now. That and with it being so cold I'm hardly going out. Glen's even been going to the grocery store for me. I just don't like getting out in the cold!!!!

Gayle, I hope you have a great semester! Your students are lucky to have such a sweet and kind professor.

Judy, sounds like you are busy! I'm so happy that you are finding so many fun things to do.

Diana, Karlie sounds like a cutie! I bet she's keeping you busy. As for the cold weather, I hate it too. Is it spring yet? lol


I had my first orientation today and I have another tomorrow. I officially start on Tuesday and I'm INCREDIBLY nervous. There are so many things I have to do...it's just really overwhelming. My classmates all feel overwhelmed too so at least I'm not alone...

The biggest changes we are going through are due to the economy. When the going gets tough, the tough get going sorta thing. We were just awarded a contract with Valero, so now I get to know a whole new group of people.

At home, hubby and I are trying to get organized. He's finally on board with working together to go through all our stuff and tossing what we need to, having a garage sale this summer, building more storage in the garage. We've made a list of what needs to be done, and we are on the attack. We've already found some things that were lost. I have so many rolls of scotch tape now that they are all in one place. Working as we do and moving as many times as we have during our marriage, things have gotten misplaced and we never had time to really organize like we should. Oh, on the surface all looks well, but the attic, garage, cabinets, closets hold all sorts of treasure, or junk. Hopefully we will find out!!
