Slacking and the NAVLE

I just started this blog and I'm already slacking on it. There are lots of things I would like post about, but when I sit down at the end of the day my mind kind of goes blank.
Soooo...whats new? Nothing exciting...
I take the national boards on December 1st. Very scary! Some of my friends have taken it already (the testing window started November 17th) and I am so envious! I wish I had decided to take it earlier because I don't want to study anymore. I'm starting to get really nervous, thinking that I may not pass because I haven't studied enough or the right way or something. I guess all I can do is keep going for the next week, take the test and forget about it until scores are available in January or February. Worrying about it certainly won't help. And once its over I'll be able to relax :-)

Pirate, Hayride, Bonfire, Weenie Roast

The past few years Halloween has kind of come and gone without being noticed. Yesterday, however, turned out to be a nice day.

It started out as a long hectic day at school. I was exhausted by the time I got home. Then I remembered Billy (my puppy) had a costume and I decided to dress him up. With lots of treats, I was able to get a few pictures.

Earlier in the week, friends/neighbors/classmates from the trailer park decided to have a halloween hayride, bonfire, weenie roast. The big John Deere tractor came by. The hayride took us (including Billy) into a clearing in the woods behind the trailer park. When people showed up, they would call and Kevin would pick them up with the hayride. The primary goal of the night was to have a fire big enough to be visible from space...I think it came close.

Anyway, it was a fun night...a true Southern experience, I think.
