i just finished taking my greek art test, and i think it went ok. the hardest part was identifying the kinds of vases the ancient greeks used. if anyone wants to know the difference between an amphora and a kylix, i'm your girl.

tonight i'm going to finish my teach for america application. i'm very excited/nervous. i'm kind of putting all my eggs in one basket with this, and i hope it turns out. although, i know if it doesn't, i'll find something else to do and we'll move a year sooner, but i really want to do it. everyone cross their fingers for me.

i had a good talk with mom last night. i miss her. watching gilmore girls with errol makes me miss her too. this morning errol make a really good observation, and i want to share it--

sometimes treating your kids differently is a good thing. for example, i think that mom and dad tried to treat all four of us the same while we were at college, but i think that was a bad move. i didn't have the same college experience my other siblings did. while they might have appreciated the distance mom and dad gave them because lincoln is so close to minden, i would have enjoyed some more nurturing like calls, care packages, and visits. i'm trying to store all this stuff up in my head to use with our kids.

i handed in my paper yesterday. yay! i was the first one in the class, and dr. brack said, "well, i was only going to give one 'a' and i guess this is it." that made me smile.
