Jersey-bound Weekend

It has been a long, yet fun-filled weekend! I had a list of chores in my previous post that I had less than 24 hours to do, and guess what? I did everything! I have a clean room, a clean bathroom, a clean closet, and clean clothes!!! YAY! It may not seem like such a big deal but I've turned into one of those clean freaks. It kind of reminds me of that Full House episode where Danny is so obsessed with cleaning, he even cleans the vacuum itself! Kind of reminds me of my grandmother. She has to be the cleanest person in the world. I have to say that she is almost as bad as Danny Tanner...

We spent pretty much the whole evening in New Jersey. Its nice to see your family from time to time, especially the family you haven't seen in months. I have to say that my favorite part of the whole trip was seeing all the little kids! Of course I missed my four favorite girls who couldn't make it to the function, but who says you can't have more than three favorites? ;-) Seeing all those little children made me realize how much I'd love to be a toddler again. Just think about it: you can basically sleep when you want, wake up when you want, play with toys, draw, and color all day long! Now that is the life! How I'd love to be 3 again! 

Moving on, we left NJ around 12:45 am! Like typical Desis, it takes like a good hour just to say your farewells to everyone. We didn't get home till 4:15 (my mom is a slow driver -_-) and I didn't sleep until close to 5 am. And then of course, good ol' Sunday school in the morning. I was the reason we had to come back home last night. Today was my students' midterm exam and I was afraid that the test would be too hard and they would all fail. When I sat down to grade the exams, the first exam was just really depressing. I went through the pile and pulled a smart student's exam because I just felt so bad about that poor girl's miserable grade. To my surprise, only 3 students miserably failed, 1 student got a C, and the rest got either 100% or more (I was generous and gave extra credit :-P)!!! I also bought them munchkins from Dunkin Donuts and offered them an extra credit worksheet (Yes, I offer a lot of extra credit. I bet you'd want to be my student too :-P). I got home from Sunday school around 4 pm, and I just crashed. I was sooooo tired. I'm not really sure how I functioned throughout the day. It was probably the coffee from DD that helped me. 

I have a feeling that this week is going to drag. But I'm more concerned about next week because I have 3 exams, plus papers. Looks like I'll be spending all day Friday and all day Saturday at the library.  I also need to find an internship for next semester. I've emailed a few people at HHS and they have not gotten back to me, which is really annoying because I emailed them weeks ago! Lets hope that I find something in the next month or so. The scary part is that there are really only 2 months left of school and I need to find one before December. At least I'm not procrastinating and waiting until December to find a position :-P.

Anyway, its 12:03 am, got lots of work to do in the next hour and a half (I've also noticed that I work best at night...), so I bid you all farewell, except I will not take an hour to do it :-P

Take care, all!
