school was rough this week, not sure why. but i was having a hard week and the kids also didn't want to be there. and it seems like time was just standing still. and i was spending more time than usual in guidance dealing with a few issues. but i'm hoping that this is a regular week things will be better. oh and my students totally made fun of me and my kansas history weekend when i showed them a few pictures of me and history of what we'd been discussing in class.
it was a crazy week with skiing. the meet tuesday was postponed to wednesday and it was our final league meet. our boys were in the last spot to make it to semis and as long as we held where we were we'd be ok. the boys all had great first runs but the second not so much. so we were a little concerned, but it turned out we ended up tied with another school for the last spot in the semis. or so we thought. thursday morning coach finds me in my prep and goes we're racing today, turns out the first race had some timing issues that he only found out about that morning. so we didn't make semis. so that was disappointing. so we thought the race was normal time. until i'm teaching and one of my skiers is in that class and gets up to leave. race is at 3 coach... umm, since when. since other coach saw me before class. ok... so i drive up after school and they did well there. and i'm excited for next year - there will be a few great boys coming back and hopefully we can find some girls. and the one girl raced on friday in the semis and she qualified for the state championships this week! yay! so that is awesome. so my season is over. i'm sad that it is over, because i really have loved coaching, but glad at the same time because well getting home at 7.30 every night and 9.30 on race nights is exhausting. and i've been kinda slacking on some of my school work, so now being able to stay at school to get work done will be good.
and it was a good weekend :) ran a million errands friday night and then dinner with erin. and pretty much fell asleep watching the olympics at like 9.30. and then saturday was a family affair in the morning for my grandfather's 81st birthday and then i was off to penn for the charity ball with matt :) had a great time with him, i met his parents this weekend and i think it went well. talked a lot with his mom at the event, so now he just has to meet my parents... and here we are
and looking at the photo i realize i how short i really am! i'm wearing 3" heels here. and i'm still like 9" shorter than he is. so we had a fun time at the event and then just hanging out this morning. watched the best movie ever this morning- mighty ducks. and then i've been olympic watching all night. the canada-us hockey game! which was pretty intense. i love hockey!
and let me just discuss my love for the us ski team, as anyone following me on twitter must know. i am so proud of them this year! we've medaled so far in every event for both men's and women's alpine so far. and i can't wait to see the gs and slalom races later this week. between bode's 3 medals (finally got his gold today) and lindsey vonn and julia mancusco tearing it up for the women's team. i'm in my heaven just watching them race. looooves it.
and this weekend was birthday ball, sadly i wasn't in maryland this weekend celebrating george washington's birthday this year with everyone at my undergrad. but i was thinking about it and i will be doing my own toast to george on tuesday!
anyway how was your weekend? watching the olympics?
