Paycheck? Spring Break, and Classes w/out Masses

I was pleasantly surprised when I got my paycheck. It's about 100 more than normal - so now I need to go double check to make sure they didn't do a mistake. I hate it when you get all excited with money to only realize that it won't last. Sounds like a bad joke - if my bills ever had a sense of humor.

Spring Break. Ahhhhh you can just hear the sounds of the ocean and feel the warmth of the beating sun. Or, if you're in my world, you can feel the struggling rays of sun beating down on your cheeks- the only thing exposed to the air in the negative 40 weather. You can also hear the Snow Plows in the distance, the constant swirling of the large brush. whoosh whoosh psssshhhhhhhh.

With Spring Break comes the student absences. Absinthe makes the heart grow stronger? Maybe, but absence in a class because you can get away with it is mandatory freshman day. It seems only the few of us who want to graduate this May come to class. Ah well, at least I have a head start in the quiz department.

I got hugged yesterday! I've been getting congratulated by the English Professors about being accepted as a Graduate TA. It's like a dream, I will actually have "office hours" and students...and papers to grade. Sorry if I over-chat about this sort of stuff - It's still sinking in.
