The end of the semester brings with it many emotions. I am anxious to be finished with grading and lecturing so that I can spend some time playing and reading. I have to admit, however, that I am very sad to watch my students go.
This semester has been somewhat of an anomaly. I usually begin to miss my students well before they actually leave for the summer, but this semester, I find myself with an infectious case of summer fever. I want to sleep past 5:15 in the morning, and I want to read something besides student essays. You may say, "well, read something other than students essays for goodness sake," but that is easier said than done!
As I sit here in my English 2300 class, and watch my students taking their exam, I know that they are at a pivotal point in their lives. They are going to decide who they will marry, where they will live, what they will be. It is exciting, and I am praying for them.
I know God has exceptional plans for each one, and I hope that they know that I care for them and hope the best for them in everything they do.

On another note, I am super excited about tomorrow afternoon because Jason and I have a babysitter, and we are going to a movie and out to eat -- at Chili's! It is so rare that we actually get to do those things now with Abby that I can't wait!

There was something else I was going to post here, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was, so I guess I'll have to post it later. :-) Thank you, Mommy Brain!
