Half Way In

Can you believe we're halfway into 2014?  A couple months of sweltering heat, then it's pumpkins and candy corns and a semester of new freshmen and a half marathon and Christmas trees and cookie exchanges and presents for all from Croatia!  And before you know it, it will be 2015 and we will be another year along in this journey.

My assessment of 2014, so far:  Good, good, and good.

Mileage I've put on my car, solely from tutoring sessions: 

2,600 miles

I have built up a solid student base for tutoring!  

(Their pets <3 me)

I have tried to read for fun, and have been somewhat successful.

I am ramping up the working out!  Goal: keep it up when all hell breaks loose this fall.

Time with friends!

I got the TA job!

We've stayed out of the poor house.  (Hallelujah)

I discovered I like working with kids.

We had a close call with the furry troll.  

But all's well that ends well.

Made a new friend.

Made another new friend.

Planning for Munich and Croatia in just a few days!

Wrote papers, papers, and more papers. 

Still writing papers.

Have had to explain the difference between there, their, and they're more than any person should ever have to.

The End.

How has 2014 been for you?  Considering that two of you are settling into new homes, one of you is currently at the beach, one of you is having her fourth child in a few weeks, and one of you just moved overseas, my guess is that it has been at least interesting!

Here's to the next 6 months.
