Cute kids, but you spend more time cleaning and keeping them from getting in trouble than you do teaching anything (as if I didn't already know that would be the case), and I'm not so sure I'll help my progress towards becoming a teacher in that environment. Things are progressing with enrolling in the Masters program, apparently I qualify to teach world history.

One thing is for sure. If I am meant to be a teacher, its with the older kids.
I remember being a 7th and 8th grader.....NOT GOOD I was unruly. I wish my kids would skip those years.

Man its been busy in here today!

Well my day trip went well...

370 miles round trip

3/4's of a tank

Made two stops

7 hours 20min. total time gone

Didn't shut the truck off the whole trip...

She ran great the whole time...

Probably would have got better fuel mileage but i had to make up for our late start on the way back to make it to pick up another horse by 5:30. So i got into the nice flat land where you can see for miles and miles through it in "5th" and cruised about 70.

I thought you might have been, seemed like the right time for it! You hanging in there? classes bogging you down yet? I know you said there wouldnt be much time for fun.....
I just got a old cheap Savage and its accurate as hell. I think I give 2 something for it and its got the stainless barrel. I just wanted to try the accu-trigger.
