Where have I been?! Well it's crunch time for school right now. Both classes have huge demands and I'm only hoping to get most of the work done over this weekend and over Thanksgiving break. I've finally caught up on a few things so this wave I've been riding is about to crest.

I saw my surgeon on Thursday and I'm happy to report that my plateau has broken. Since increasing my protein intake, I've started losing weight again after being the same weight for 4 months. Awesome! Other things to report: Cholesterol, perfect. Blood pressure, perfect. Heart rate, perfect. Vitamin D, perfect. Other vitals, Perfect. My doctor decided that after losing 160lbs since I started, I am a complete success. From here, it can only get more successful!

One of my biggest difficulties for my education class was finding a school to do observations. After being declined a few times I remembered a conversation I had with a former high school classmate. It turned out that she was teaching at our old middle school. I asked if I could observe in her classes and she agreed! I spent 10 hours in two sessions observing in her classes, and I must say it was very informative. I completed my requirement but I also learned how a school runs from the point of view of the faculty. If she ever reads this site, I want to thank Miss Hatch for letting me observe. She saved me from a terrible fate.

That's it for now. I'm sure once school winds down I'll have more opportunity to post. And no, I haven't forgotten...

FOR THE HORDE!
