School and Stuff Update

The first full week of school for all 3 is over, the first set of tests is taken. T is still loving school. I hope it continues, especially since she is apparently quite the perfectionist. She brought home a paper where she had glued b next to D and d next to B, even though it was already "graded" she had to tear the letters off and glue them in the right place. G has discovered that her teacher is forgetful but she is dealing with it. Hopefully it will be a learning experience and not a source of frustration. E is plugging away as always. His class is competing for AR points. His teacher wants them to earn at least 1 pt and week- he has 7 already.

I took what was hopefully my last exam yesterday, I should get my score on Monday. My thesis is a hurry up and wait project. I am praying it gets done by the deadline, if not it will not be by any fault of mine. I started with 14 weeks to complete it. It is graded by a committee of 3 I thought. I waited most of the month of July to be assigned 3 people to my committee only to find out I only needed 2. Then I found out the first draft only needed to be reviewed by the chair. So I asked her to review it, she said she would but then went on vacation for a week. Right now I am waiting for my prospectus to be approve so that it can go to the IRB so I can start collecting my research data, but my other committee member is on vacation!

W has checked out of the job he has been doing and starts his new job in a few weeks. Until then he will be out of town for training. The good thing about this is that I get to drop the kids off and Grandma and Grandpa's for Labor Day weekend and W and I get to start looking at areas we might want to live in when we move next summer.

I forgot on my last post to add a pic of the kids on their first day of school so here ya go....
