Pretty Typical
I don't have anything real fun to report. School is gong well. The hardest thing is that the minute I get on track with one of my kids, another kid presents me with a new set of issues. It gets to be overwhelming at times, but having teammates who deal with similar situations as well, makes it much more bearable. I feel like we share the sentiment with parents that kids don't come with manuals, especially middle schoolers who have their own set of issues.
On top of afterschool and regular school hours, I'm serving on a couple of committees. Just this week I started on a recruitment committee that I'm very excited about. Any time I can go out and talk to others about something that I have strong feelings for, I'll jump at the opportunity. I think it will also give me an idea how the application, interview and selection process works at an organization, in particular a service organization. If I end up doing a second year, I may even look to take the role as recruitment specialist.
As far as my plans for next year, it's still very much up in the air. I've got my law school application in at University of Wisconsin. I had planned on applying to a few other schools, but I'm thinking I'll just stick with Wisconsin, since I'm not sure that I want to go to any other law school. I know it limits my options, but if it doesn't work out at Wisconsin, I have some other things in mind including a second year in AmeriCorps. As I find out more, I'll let everyone know my plans. I'm hoping by the end of February I'll have heard from UW, but I can't guarantee I'll have made a decision until sometime later.
Despite not having a lot of free time, I continue to use as much of the free time as possible to take in some college basketball. Believe it or not, I'm listening to the Badger game right now over the internet. After going to the Marquette-SLU game last weekend, I may have to get to a few more games before March Madness gets going. In the meantime, I'm still keeping close tabs on my other two teams: NDA and St. Matt's 7th boys. It's a little bittersweet to not be able to be present to see more of these two teams, but I've still had a lot of fun following them from afar, and always look forward to hearing from my dad or Joey with updates on both teams.
I'm also having some visitors this weekend. Steph and Drew Georgia, along with a couple of their friends are making the trek down from Madison this weekend. Besides coming to see me, they will also get to be a part of Mardi Gras here in St. Louis, the second biggest in the nation. It should be a fun, and yes mom, a safe weekend.
That's all I have from here in St. Louis. Sounds like the Badgers are re-starting the home winning streak. I hope the rest of you are all doing well.
