TechnoTeachers

As I posted yesterday, we visited Zoe’s new preschool for her enrollment visit. Two of her three teachers, Ms. Maria and Ms. Lisa, explained that their classroom, the Elephants, has a digital camera and that they like to post photographs on the preschool’s web site almost daily for parents to be able to see that their children are actually having fun (as opposed to the last image most of us will have of our children wailing as we leave them at school). They gave us a little packet titled “Welcome to the Elephant Room!” that is essentially a parent’s handbook for that specific classroom. Which is way cool, given that we had already received the hefty parent’s handbook for the entire school.

Doctor, doctor, give me the news…

A bunch of people I know and love are undergoing surgery this week, which is crazy, because none of them really interact with each other and it’s so strange to have three people I know all have surgery in two days. Two of them were today, which, needless to say, has had me on pins and needles for most of the day.

Finance is finished!

Finance 5000 is over! Wahoooo! We took the second half of the final last night and finished the class. Just waiting on the last homework assignment to be graded, and the take-home portion of the final to be graded (neither of which we have to do, thankfully), and we’re officially finished. Two and a half weeks off and then, oh yippee, we begin Advanced Financial Management.

Only .5 of the Final left!

M and I just spent the last 4.5+ hours working on the take-home portion of our final. It’s done and submitted, for better or worse. Now, all we have left is the 4-hour timed on-line exam, which is T/F and multiple-guess. I’m desperately hoping it doesn’t take all of the four hours, because I’m really ready to be done. As is M.

I be real smart in my graditate clas

Okay, so you all know I’m taking courses in pursuit of my MBA. And you know that I’m a grammar beyotch and get all bent out of shape when I find errors in publications and such. I’m the girl who edited her roommate’s grocery lists, remember?

The difference between M and me

Taking a break from studying tonight, I perused the local paper’s web site. Which is where I learned the news that former Cardinal centerfielder (current Cub…blech) Jim Edmonds got married at the Clayton courthouse yesterday. No big fanfare…the groom wore jeans and the bride wore what is probably a baseball-size diamond. She probably wore clothes, too, I’m guessing, but the reporter felt the need only to report that her ring is rather large.
