Oops, Missed A Week...

Which is still better than my weight loss blog. Ahem, we won't discuss that one.

I haven't had a lot of time for school the last couple of weeks. I've been preoccupied going to check on Grandma in the hospital and just trying to get the house in some kind of order. Though with us doing a remodel on the kitchen and the Grumpy Old Man being furloughed, clean and orderly is a challenge.

Despite the government shutdown and having an extra person in the house, it's going pretty well. Of course it's only been two days, but Grumpy is very cheerful and that helps a lot, even if it is scary.

The shut down does sort of make me wish I was going into teaching. Well, teaching history. It's really fascinating to me to see what is happening and I'd love to discuss this with a classroom full of eager teenagers, ready to get excited about the history they are living through and helping to create.

And the phrase, "eager teenagers, ready to get excited about the history they are living through and helping to create" is the reason I'm not going into teaching. I just don't see many teens these days who are excited about school. Depressing really.

I was able to study for a little bit at the hospital on Monday and I'm hoping to get some more studying done this evening and tomorrow. I'd like to really hit it hard this weekend, in between cleaning bouts.

I'm enjoying the class. Some of it is really basic and annoying but there's little stuff in there that I understood but didn't fully grasp that I'm now learning. It's kind of cool. Anyway, I'm hoping by next week to have a handle on how much longer this class will take me and I can get my test scheduled. Hopefully, I can get it scheduled and have my second certification before November. We'll see!

Have a great week and go learn something!
