2 down, 10 to go!

Tonight was the last class of our summer school graduate class. David and I both got an A+ as our final grade {notice the "+"...that means neither of us missed a single point--whoopdy woop!!!!}. Go us! Our professor bought our entire class pizza {how sweet is that?} and she requested that I make sweets for the class, so I brought these:

After class was over we had a get together at Casa Gallardo and the majority of the class came and had a nice time. It's nice to be done, although it was pretty painless and quite enjoyable {now don't think I'm too crazy for that last statement!}.

Today I finished the side landscaping, and it looks good, sparse, but good! I must remind myself that patience is a virtue and I will wait and hope that the plants I chose will eventually fill-out the space quite nicely! I took a picture, right before class, so it's still a little too shady to get the full effect.

I'll post better ones when I can remember to take them at good times! Tomorrow I think I'll start on my photo collage wall :-). Goodnight, lovelies!

Hey...guess what?

David and I are done with our first grad school class (which, by the way, we are 99% sure we both got "A's"--go us!). Only 11 classes to go until we have our master's degree in educational administration...but, who's counting ;-)!!!

On our way

Well, it's official... David and I have taken the plunge! We are new graduate students at good ol' SIUE. We start on Wednesday, January 16th and our class is titled "EPFR 520: Analysis of Educational Issues." We lucked out on this class and hopefully lots more to come because it's a web-based course. We only have to meet in person on the first day and two other times---yes!!!! Hopefully getting back into the swing of things won't be too difficult. I am extremely anal retentive about getting the absolute highest grade possible and hope I don't stress myself out. Good thing I have David to keep me sane with his "C's get degrees" attitude ;-). However, you all know me...it'd be a cold day in you know where before I'd let myself get a "C", unless we're talking about some math class, then maybe just maybe it'd be ok. Anyhoo---enjoy your hump day tomorrow :-)
