So this past weekend started a new year in the Roman Catholic Church calendar. What a great time to be a Catholic! I guess I take the season of Advent for granted. It is a time of anticipation, of expectation, and a chance to study the scriptures that speak of what takes place at the end of Advent. Today I also began to teach my students about Advent. Most people know that this is Advent, but they don't really know what it is all about. I am trying to give my students a better understanding of it. I also told them that there are certain hymns we sing during this great season and I even demonstrated some of them by singing the hymn that is sung most often "O Come, O Come Emmanuel." After I stopped, one of the students in the class had this look on this face then he was like that is the most beautiful thing in the world and I started laughing, he started laughing and the entire class started laughing. The student was laughing so hard, he was in tears. I guess in some way I am starting to feel more comfortable around my students to be both serious and joking around with them. I just hope that in the end it gets them to focus more on what I am trying to teach them.
Other than that my weekend was slow. I didn't do too much. I tried to go to the lake on Sunday but it was just way to cold and it was windy and those two combinations don't go hand in hand. My sister in law was taken back to ICU, but she has now been released back into a regular room. I just hope she gets better soon.
I do want to take this opportunity to thank all those who support me with there thoughts and prayers. It makes me feel like I have people out there that genuinely care about me and what I am doing. To those people, thank you so much and I love you all!
I am learning that a huge pet peeve of mine is texting someone and not getting a message back in return. It drives me up a wall.
