Finals -- Grad school is over, sort of. I have to finish one class (which reminds me I should be doing that now instead of this, but its been a long time) I learned a lot and can't wait to go back!
Work - School has definitely challenged me recently, but in an exciting way. I feel like I've learned a lot this semester, and am really looking forward to next semester. the kids are coming around - I hardly have any kids failing this six weeks - they're turning in their work!!! Basketball is very frustrating, we've got so much natural talent, but no desire. That is killing me - I don't know how to do that, it wasn't me, I never had the talent, but had too much desire - if you know how to get kids to really want to try, want to be good, be better, want to work to improve -- please let me know!!
Guitar - Javier is learning how to play his guitar, he's doing so great! He's so talented - unlike me - but I love it because right now he's sitting here going through all the sweet songs he put on my picture frame thing and trying to play them for me : ) every day he surprises me with another reason to fall in love with him!
Holidays - are coming way faster than I'm ready for. But, I am looking forward to seeing everyone! This year will be Christmas at my grandma's house! yay
side note: So I've been having very strange dreams lately. Not strange like an elephant is in my car or anything, but there have been a ton of dreams about those who I've lost, but not in a sad way at all. I've dream-conversed with grandma and grandpa several times this week... not about my life per say, but just great conversations (which is the thing I miss most about them) I dreamed about basketball practice in high school with Elisa... random nights, but all great memories. The holidays will always be hard since it is 2 years now since the day grandma died (wow, that would be today...) I guess that could explain my dreams, but I am definitely missing them, but not mourning them. I can't wait to get to go to church again this weekend. We've missed 2 weeks - I never thought about the commitment it takes to go to church - we've never been church goers, but I really felt at home where we went, and am looking forward to continuing. I have something missing in my life right now, and I've been searching for the filling... I hope I've found it.
3 days left :) YAY WINTER HOLIDAY BREAK!!!

Good for you! I have the same problem with some of my girls...don't know what I'd do if all of them lacked a desire. I have found that having multiple team leaders to keep up the motivation and spirit of the team has helped.
