no, I am not procrastinating homework by blogging...

I am hours away from completing my Senior project. My final assignment for the Education Program is almost getting closer to being done and I am so looking forward to being done with college! I made my final tuition payment on Tuesday, which was awesome! I vowed to not give UVU one more penny but then I had to apply for graduation which was $20.00! After that I again vowed to not give them any more money.
The light at the end of the tunnel is definitely getting brighter as my stress level gets higher. If I can make it through next week I will be quite proud! With 2 final evaluations and handing in my Senior Portfolio on Tuesday, I might be a bit of a stress case but it will be oh so worth it.

Other exciting news, Elder Turner has been out serving for 1 year and 1 day! Now if I would just get a letter sometime soon! He is currently in the the middle of no where known as Lordsburg, New Mexico. He says everyone lives in trailers and they don't have teeth. Most importantly though, he is loving it!

This concludes my pathetic ramble of a post. Now back to that homework that I am not procrastinating.

latest quotes....

Miss M: "What did you do over the weekend?"
Student L: "Me and my friend moved her bed."
Miss M: "Oh really? Was her mom mad?"
Student L: "No. They are German."
Miss M: "Oh, I see."


During a little meeting with two students who have a hard time remembering to not shout out during class:

Miss M to Student C: "What can I do to help you not shout out?"
Student P: "Do you know sign language Miss Mortensen? 'Cause maybe you could just sign to him when he is shouting out so you don't have to stop what you are saying to the class."
Miss M: "That's a good idea, but I don't really know sign language. What do you thing (Student C), any ideas?"
Student C: "My Dad's half death."
The 2 boys at the end are my favorite.
Please enjoy.
