Finally, I post!

Greetings from your long-lost blogster.

I'm sorry I've been quite absent in the days past, but considering the load on my shoulders right now, it's pretty amazing that I actually have a few moments to sit and "chat" with my beloved readers.

With that said, I actually don't have a lot of time to write tonight, but just thought I'd leave a message for those of you who are so eager to hear from me. Here's my report-update:

- Student Teaching is fantastic. I'm preparing a month-long unit on the Holocaust and The Diary of Anne Frank. It should be quite riveting. Tomorrow I'm teaching cause and effect. Also riveting.
- Ben and I are doing well. Recently we haven't been spending a whole lot of time together (don't worry, we're no Brad and Jen). This is due to the fact that I'm either working on lesson plans and wife-ly task and Ben, bless his lazy heart, is busy beating the second Star Wars X-box game. Along with my English teaching experience, I'm also teaching Ben how to do the domestic things that I can't get around to. So far, he's getting a B.
- The new car. Many of you know it's a stick and that I hadn't previously had lessons. I'm happy to report that I'm improving and have had fewer stalls. I've been driving carpool this week and even though I feel bad that I'm a little "jerky" on the clutch, I personally feel that I am improving. I even don't mind the whole driving in the snow/ice thing because my car has all-wheel-drive.
- A random update about something totally un-important to any of you: MY DRY SKIN. Oh, my, how I wish I could be blessed with normal, soft, smooth skin. For some reason, none of my prescription face medicines and such are working and I'm miserably walking around with flakes of skin dangling on my chin! It's pretty bad when one student politely says, "Mrs. Hubert? Why do you have that stuff on your chin??"

Ok, that's all. Gotta go. Love you all.
