peeps from grad school

Scott, me, Alissa and Catie (left to right) all went out to celebrate THE END of one of the worst 8 weeks of grad class ever! ok, by 'worst' i mean- way to much work...way to many textbooks (5 of them)...way to may assignments...way to much stress...and not enough application. Scott and Alissa (she is the one in the light shirt) have been my school pals since the our first class way back in spring of 07. these two bring a much needed 'FUN' to class for me. Scott is super into sports, a college tennis coach, a husband, a dad, is super smart, knows how to have a good time and is a well rounded dude. He makes me smile and laugh often and has some pretty fun stories. Allissa is a fire ball, full of life and energy and is a youngster (26). She is a first grade teacher, planning her summer wedding and often surprises me at what comes out of her mouth (oh the stories...). Scott, Alissa and I have pretty much done every group assignment and activity together...so we have spent sometime outside of classes getting to know one another- and i love it! this is one thing that makes grad school doable ...good peeps! Catie has been in our class the whole time as well, and finally decided she'd join us for a outing after class. She is hilarious. She also is a youngster (26), currently looking for a teaching job, always wants to be done with class early, and has made some professors a little upset at her! She seemed to fit right in with our little click.
Anyways- it was fa un way to celebrate the END of a very long 8 weeks. Thanks friends for a good time, fun stories, loads of laughs and your devotion to being a good teacher! sweet-
