Word of the day...FOOTBALL. Not just the NC State - Ohio game...but my daughters Soccer game. Looks like they'll win this one as well. They're 2-0 for the season thus far...much better than the 0-2 last season. She started off a bit unhappy to be playing again (though SHE is the one who asked me to sign her up) but now is ready every soccer morning to go. I'm glad. I do doubt that she'll play next year though. She wants us to find her someone to teach her Japanese as she plans on living there when she graduates college. Don't know why but she has said this since she was about 7...I better plan on her being an exchange student in High school.

I had a student who lost everything in a house fire this last weekend. House and contents a complete loss and while he put on a brave front, I could tell how he really felt. He broke down in tears yesterday afternoon so I let him come to the office with me. Seemed to cheer him up. Ohhh SOunds like the GAME is back...I will return in awhile...here's hoping!!!
