Unit Project Freak-Out!


Wow! So last night we got a "preview" of what we will be doing for the remainder of our ECY610 class. I am overwhelmed at the amount of work we will be doing over the next two and a half weeks. I am so afraid that I have bitten off more than I can chew, gotten in over my head, fill in the blank with another tired cliche, etc. I am hopeful that tonight in class I will feel a little less intimidated with the project. I am planning on doing the unit on Early American Literature (as this is what I hope to teach), in particular, the themes in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.


At work today a gas line broke down the street. There wasn' t a mandatory evacuation, even though the workers donned Haz-Mat suits, so we all stayed and worked. They offered for me to go home, since I am still nursing the boy, but I toughed it out and stayed. Honestly, I would have loved to have gone home and taken a nap, but I didn't. I am proud of my self-restraint. Also I went over and beyond with a customer today, so I have done my good deed.


Week two of "Operation:Lose the Baby Fat" is going well. My goal to lose 10-15 pounds in eight weeks is attainable but no fun after eating for two for so long. Today I only cheated because someone said the Peanut M & Ms were the only "cure" for a gas leak!
