the end of midterms

Midterms week officially ends tomorrow. Blah.

I spent an hour and a half today in the cafeteria babysitting a million kids who are done with their midterms. One-third of the teachers in my school were supposed to be there to help. There were six -- that is, six people besides me. Interesting. Now, I know I'm a first-year and all, but geez...if there were more teachers there, we could have at least worked in shifts.

On a lighter and better note, the whole "dating someone at work" thing is working out well. It is. And I'm glad, because I've been way happier lately. He's had/is having a good influence on me. I am doing work less and enjoying life more. I'm realizing there's more to life than work, even though I still sometimes revert to my old ways. Hey, one step at a time...

BTW, I finally got a CD player installed in my Jeep. Finally. I know, I know, it's not a big deal, but it IS for me. I am slowly advancing in terms of the technology in my life. First a new cell phone, now a CD player. What next?!

Also BTW, I enjoyed my CD player so much this morning as I belted out some Kelly Clarkson tunes on the way to school. Talk about stress relief.
