I haven't posted for a while because I have been working crazy hours, last week I work at least 12 hours Monday-Thursday, Friday I only had to work 10. It was really nice although still not my prefered schedule. I started my new job at the Math Advising Office, as a Peer Adviser/Secretary/tell everyone they have to take the Placement Exam then they get angry with me. This is where I held prisoner for the beginning of each day. (just kidding I actually really like it)
There was also a Refresher Course offered from 4-10 everyday last week for students who hadn't had math for a while and just needed to "refresh" on their math skills. So needless to say it was a VERY long week.
This week is better although still almost as busy, I now have class to break up answering phones and students telling me about every excuse imaginable, and why they should be excused from taking the placement exam and why they are fine to go to Calculus even though they have only taken 0900.
Anyways enough about my work.... Although if you are interested in our program or would like to know more about the Math Placement Exam which every student has to take if they haven't had a math class with the last year and want to take a math class, feel free to give me a call and I am quite pro at about 5 different conversations that I just said over and over again :)
Oh one cool thing... ok this is kinda dumb but if you call (435)797-0268 and listen to the recording it should sound familiar... its me :)
Ok So now really to this week...School started and is going well. Chad may have changed his degree to just Economics with a MHR minor. We are feeling good about the change and returned his books for 3 classes that he dropped and replaced with others that he will need.
Although I still think we should both just drop out of school and go live in the Alps or something :)
But for real we applied to go to China to teach English to little kids for 5 months this week as well. We should know in about 2 weeks if we can go and where exactly we will be going. We would leave in January and get back in June. We are really excited about it. So I will keep you posted, also if anyone wants to pay for us it is tax deductible :) just kidding
In closing here are some pictures of us before school on our first day of school :) Chad was kind enough to humor me :)
and my necklace kinda dominates the picture but we were in a hurry, we couldn't miss the bus :)
Happy First Week for School! I wish the best to luck to everyone who is in our same predicament and feel sorry of those of you who no longer get to take first day of school pictures :) Chad and I are still working to get a signed piece of paper that says how smart we are.

Your back to school pictures are cute! Keep trecking through the classes...it feels good to have the "signed piece of paper saying how smart you are"!
You guys look so happy to go to school- you must really love it :). Oh and I called that number and the message is very nice- you say it like maybe you've said it a time or two before.
Ha Ha me and Emily must be sisters cause i called the number too. You sounds real professional only stuttered twice:) hmm anyways cute pics and Chad i feel your pain and stress.

Happy first day of school! I thought about taking a pic of Bri on his first day of school but he was wearing pajamas so..... I'll be taking Sophie's this week! Aaaahh!!! That is so exciting about China - that would be awesome. Good luck! I love your hair cut, too!! We miss and love you guys! The other day Nora said, "I think Uncle Chad is a real prince!" So your pretty lucky to be married to a real prince! Which must mean she thinks you are a real princess...
CHINA???? Why is no one else commenting about the fact that you could be possibly moving half the world away?!?!? (maybe because I haven't seen you guys in forever, and it's old news to everyone else)--
Either way, You better come visit us at least once before you leave :)
And hurray for school pictures. Now having my boys in school, I get to take them more often then I want. Love you guys!
I love the back to school pictures. China sounds awesome!! How exciting. We'd love to know where you end up going. Maybe we'll be able to come and visit you on our way home from Thailand!
