Wonderful news first-- If you were to ask Jon what band he would most like to see reunite and play one last show and for that last show they would play the album of his choice, he would say that he would like to see Ben Folds Five and he would like to hear "Reinhold Messner." THIS IS HAPPENING AND WE HAVE TICKETS!!!! In Chapel Hill we will be 2 of 1,400 people seeing BF5 reunite. AND Chris and Ashley will be beside us because Ashley was able to get through online today and get our tickets!!! She is most certainly the queen today!
Today was my first day back at work, and it went well. I was sad, but I held it together by way of the whirlwind of the day. At home, once relaxed and baby in-arms, I finally shed a few tears. I wish I could have stayed home longer. We worked so hard to get Jude home and healthy that it is hard to go back and realize that today was just one day of more than a hundred more away from him. The week in the NICU and 3 weeks battling to find peace for a screaming, acid reflux stricken infant stole my 6 weeks away. I am lucky in teaching to have the weekends and breaks and the summer. I hope to one day move out of the classroom and to work in some other capacity within a school, media perhaps. I would like to move away from 5 different preps, 200 students, and big classes. All the planning and grading is grueling especially considering the subject is Spanish, as the format does not seem to fit. It's hard to keep thinking of teaching as a craft with such a schedule. I feel like a move out of the classroom may bring me the time to be more creative and still contribute to the profession, as well as have more time at home. The move will not be now--duty calls.

Amanda - ECU has a terrific online MLIS degree whenever u are ready. Also, you can be hired as a media specialist without the degree as long as you take two MLIS classes each year.
