I have a blog? Sorry, I had forgotten. Amidst the busyness of my life these days, I have neglected many things - including my homework, the research paper due in 10 days which hasn't been started, cleaning, and of course as you all have come to realize, this blog.

Since my last post I was hired as an ESL teacher for an Elementary school near where I live. Its inner city and a very poor area. The kids I have mostly speak Spanish. Some have just come to the States in the last year. Most have been here for awhile, but have only learned English since starting school. Its a very overwhelming job, especially since its my first time working in an elementary school. The kids are all so needy, and I have a few that are pretty much behavior problems all the time. A second grader getting suspended from school isn't a good start to your school career.

I am also taking two grad school classes for my Master's in ESL. I am enjoying these classes, but now that the papers are due, I am stressing out a bit. (Just a bit for now as I still have a week to procrastinate some more.)

Thats a quick summary of why I have fallen off the face of the earth. Now I am off to see my wonderful nephew and maybe try to work on my paper when he sleeps tonight.
