Adventures of a Shockingly Average 30-Something

Wow, what a weekend this was!! Friday night started off Relay For Life.  This was my first time participating in a Relay event, and I will definitely be participating again in the future!  The team that I was on raised $1,157.33 - beating our goal of $1,000!! - and the school as a whole raised a little over $53,000, beating our goal of $52,000!  Very, very, very impressive!  I think they said this was the most the school has ever raised in a Relay event, and also there was a record (for the school) number of people there -- around 800 people, with 63 different teams/organizations there! My team set up our campsite and hung out together before the event started (it started at 7).  There had to be at least one person from each team walking for the entire 12 hours of the event; I walked for most of it because I just wanted to.  One of my friends and I, we didn't really like the music that they were playing, so we used my iPod and listened to our own music ...

Well, break is over and being in the classroom is over, so I'm back to being in regular classes again.  NOT someplace I'd rather be, and it felt weird waking up at 6:30 (instead of 5:30) this morning.  Being in the classroom, I was there from 7:50 in the morning until 3:10 in the afternoon, yet that felt like a shorter day than being in classes.  It's just weird to be in classes again.  I mean, I just spent four weeks (8 days...) in basically a teacher role, and now I'm playing the part of student again.  I'd rather be the teacher.  It's more challenging, but more fun, more enjoyable. Six weeks of classes. Finals week. Summer break.
