It was the first week back after Spring Break. It was the first week of the final quarter. We are in the final countdown, y'all. CRAZINESS! Okay, the week wasn't that bad. It just felt long- and I took Monday off! I decided I wanted a slightly longer break, and I think that was a good decision. It was St. Patty's Day, so I dressed in green and enjoyed getting back into my normal routine. I went for a walk at Shelby Farms with a friend, then Ashly and I enjoyed our heritage at dinner ;)
Tuesday, I started back at school (and loved that some people noticed my tan!). My Brit Lit kids have started a new unit on poetry- and they JUST love it! Note the sarcasm there. I made them write a few poems this week. They were not amused. My Theology classes have begun talking about moral issues related to family and friends- and I am learning far more than I ever expected to about them! I can only imagine what other hot topic issues will bring. Goodness gracious! I'm glad they're comfortable sharing at least (I may regret saying that down the line, but for now it's okay). And now it's crunch time for their Morality videos. I am still hopeful that they will turn out well, but we will see the final products before we know it.
I got in most of my workouts this week, and I stayed on top of my points all but one day. So that was good. This week was a little out of the ordinary though in regards to activities. St. Pat's was on Monday. Then, Wednesday evening, Mary Kathryn and Gigi were in town, so I went to visit with them shortly after I got home from work. It was so nice catching up with her and her family. And Gigi is getting so big, I can't believe it! Thursday, I had a friend over for dinner- we had the recipe down below, and it was delicious! Saturday morning, a girl from WU/DG was unexpectedly in town, so we met up for brunch at Cafe Eclectic. It was really cool getting to see her. It's so rare to see people from college since I went so far away to it. I always like catching up with people like that though. It's pretty cool. Last night, Sunshine and I went to dinner and then saw the movie "The Grand Budapest Hotel." It was really good, and totally packed! I recommend seeing it :) Today, I went to Mass and another CYA-er sat with me which was nice. Then, we went to Fellowship for a bit. This afternoon, Mom, Memaw, and I went to see "Jesus Christ, Superstar" at Theatre Memphis. They did a really good job with it.
