Where Oh Where Has October Gone?

I am NOT ready for the holiday season. Not one bit.

Along with the holidays come the ever dreaded testing of my students, report cards and conferences. THen Thanksgiving, which again will be spent at a soccer tournament, this time in San Diego. I feel bad because Alex just got an opportunity to go to Florida on Christmas day to go to a tournament with another team for the Disney Classic at Disney World but it's super pricey and they want the $ tomorrow. We've never denied him the chance to further his soccer training but we just can't swing this one on such short notice. Now instead he wants to go to Spain to visit a friend who is living there for a year. This would just be airfare because the family has an apartment there and will take care of his meals, etc. I need to to look into it because I understand from a Spanish coworker that airfare to Spain around the holidays is also super pricey. I need to win the lottery or teach a whole lotta classes!

Halloween tomorrow. We celebrated at school Friday and tomorrow I'm supposed to have a regular academic day. Yeah, RIGHT. we'll see how THAT goes.

I've had in my head for days things I wanted to blog about. Can I remember any of them? Nope. Gonna try to study here for a bit and see how much sticks. Just about to start chapter 9, which is titled Understanding the Challenge of Behavior Change. Is super interesting so far because it's all about the psychological reasons and motivations behind why we make changes our lives, be it dietary, physically, etc. Deliberately embarking on a path of change. Right up my alley :-)
