So I started my first graduate level class on Monday: Intro to Graduate Research. At first I wasn't too enthused about it, but I'm liking reading the education journal articles. To have research backing up different methods of teaching or running a classroom is valuable. It's an online class, the first I've ever taken, and so far so good.

My job at the preschool ended today, as it's summer break. I'm still working at the long term care place. I've made a few mistakes in the last few days, and whenever I make mistakes I have a hard time letting them go. I just hate messing up, but I guess it's going to happen . . .

We have a little dirt patch in our backyard, and today I planted a tomato plant and some spinach. Hopefully the spinach comes up and the tomato survives. I also got some Coneflower/ Echinacea seeds for Teacher Appreciation Week, and I planted those in a pot on our front "porch." I'm finding I like working in our yard, even if it is small.

Moby has the all-clear to go on walks. We ordered him a thing called a Springer that we can use to take him on bike rides. We have to wait until he's 10 months old to use it, as his growth plates are still developing. At least now we can take him walking and he won't be so hard to live with.
