Today Pat and I decided to take a day away and go to Huntington. Our original plan was to go to the Japanese Steakhouse but as always nothing goes to plan for us. The restaurant was closed so we decided to go to Max and Erma's. I have never been there before and had been wanting to go for some time now so it all worked out. We tried Pretzel Logs for an appetizer hoping they would be like Coshocton's famous Pretzel Nuggets, but they weren't. They were really good though. They just took a soft pretzel and instead of making into a pretzel, made it into a log. They came with some kind of cheese/tomato sauce that neither of us could figure out what it was, but it was good. I then tried some kind of Cajun Shrimp Pasta which was AMAZING!! Pat stayed safe with an onion cheeseburger.
Next we decided to explore the shopping center that Max and Erma's was located in. It reminded us of a miniature Easton. There was a bookstore so of course we went in. I was very good and didn't buy a book, but they did have an amazing children's section!
Later on we went to the mall. Pat needed new shoes and I needed a new pair of sandals. Those of you that have known me for at least a year now of my white adidas sandals that I have had for about 7 years now and I finally had to retire them (tear). I finally broke down and bought another pair that will hopefully last me as long! I also looked for a dress for graduation because I was chosen to be a marshal for this year's commencement. Again we went into the bookstore and I came out with nothing. Every time I would pick up a book, I would think of the pile of books I have waiting for me to read and then walk away.
When we got back it was time for homework. I have just finished up planning and compiling my first unit. It really made me realize that I am getting closer to living the rest of my life, if that makes sense. I will no longer be planning lessons for my classmates but for my students. Kinda scary but I am excited. I hope that all my ideas I have will be able to work and my students will enjoy. Never know till I try!
I had the chance to see our Welsh exchange students put on their play "New Worlds" last night and if anyone ever gets a chance to see it I highly recommend it! The actors were so great in it and the story was very interesting. The students had researched the true story of the first Welsh settlers in this area and wrote a play for it. I will warn you it is very sad and I cried multiple times through it!
Well three days having a blog and I have been successful in writing everyday!
