Nat--congrats. You worked hard and, in the end, I know it is worth it. You will bring joy to students for years (hell, decades) to come.

Hola, All -- I passed my qualifying portfolio; hence, you'll have to see my ugly mug for another summer. Bummer, I know. Do I feel happy? I suppose I should, but I kind of feel blah. I just felt like an overworked poodle last summer. "This hoop, Natalie. Now, here's another. Who's my fluffy princess?" So it goes. Be good. I'm reading a lot of David Sedaris, so I'm having the kiddies writeletters to their parents from jail today. Good times. -- Bubba ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
