Wow, there's a lot to say now

So I've been teaching full time now at Stratford HS. I teach Web Design and Career Management Success. Some days it's difficult, but it's always rewarding.  The CMS classes are freshman, and the Web Design classes are Sophomores through Seniors. 

In other news, I am hoping to run the half marathon on Saturday. I hope it's not going to be raining, and I hope that my hip will feel better in time to run. It's been hurting recently while running. I thought it was ITBS, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe ice and NSAIDs will help enough for me to run. 

On April 4th, I went to the Spring Preview for UAB School of Dentistry Class of 2012.  It was a great time and it was fun to meet everyone I will be spending the next 4 years of my life with.  We talked about the new curriculum and what life will be like as a dental student. I'm excited! It's going to be tough, but it'll be fun too - hopefully. From the people I've met, I think we will have a great class and help each other out with assignments, studying, etc. instead of being crazy competitive.  Also, class now starts at 10 AM instead of 8 AM everyday, or so we think- that would be sweet! All of the people I met seemed interesting, and I look forward to getting to know everyone. 

We got the apartment at the Wildforest Apartments in Birmingham, so I have to start working on that now. We're still looking for someone to sublet our place in Nashville for June and July, and we need to sell the elliptical before we move to Birmingham in early June.  One thing kind of bugs me about listing advertisements on Craig's List and Facebook - people respond all the time, but are never serious about committing. They ask "is it still available" and I respond back nicely and say "Yeah, come over and check it out" and they never get back to me. It's so strange...

I got a new computer, it's a crapload faster than my old computer that was actually my brother's old computer from 2.5 yrs ago. This one I'm using now is a Black MacBook but I bought it refurbished so it was ridiculously cheap. Then I put 4GB of RAM in it- it goes fast :-D 

I've been working on another blog for teaching, so that's why I haven't been updating this one.  I started making a new personal blog, but I've decided I like the Blogger software better than Wordpress for simple blogging.  The best feature is the ability to email in blog posts, so I can post from my phone if I so desire. 

Finally, Tara is almost done with the Spring semester for Nursing School. She will be done after her test- right now! It'll be nice for her to relax a little bit and get a breather before the Summer semester starts in May and goes until August 3rd; Tara's day of freedom. She says that will be the best day of her life; only to be outdone 27 days later by our wedding. 

I've been reading more books lately, and I'm trying to stop getting on the internet and surfing aimlessly for hours.  I realized that I won't have time to read all the books I've been planning to read once I'm in Dental School, so I better finish before July 7th! 

Here's my list

The Importance of Being Foolish - Brennan Manning

Don't Waste Your Life - John Piper

The Kite Runner- Khaled Hosseini

Mere Christianity -C.S. Lewis

Harry Potter , Goblet of Fire through Deathly Hollows - JK Rowling

I need to finish Stumbling on Happiness, The Audacity of Hope (Obama), How to Read the Bible, and Christian Apologetics.  

I think I can do it.  Maybe I should start blogging more so they won't be this long again...
