Night class

I only have about 2 1/2 weeks left of the night class I teach at Dixie State College, and the end can't come any too soon. Tonight I was working with my students on writing a thesis statement. As I took their topics and wrote them on the white board to help them write a decent thesis statement, one of their topics was: "Drinking at a young age has had a negative impact on my life." (As if I have any background knowledge to draw from, to help them) Another student chose the topic: "Decisions I made in my life have had disastrous results." This topic came from a female student who dropped out of high school a couple of years ago because she was pregnant. (She is now raising her little girl on her own) These kids are actually really neat young people. They're in school, getting an education, and attempting to learn from their mistakes. I guess I had it pretty good, just thinking. Thanksgiving is just around the door, figuratively speaking, and I'm starting to get in the mood to bake, and shop. (well, if you know me, I really don't have to have a season to get me in the shopping mood :) How many of you watch "The Biggest Loser"? Last night they voted off the largest, ever, female contestant (Shay). She came on the show 9 weeks ago weighing 400+ pounds. I think she should have stayed. Instead, they kept that crying Amanda chick! Oh well, what can you do? Can you tell I've run out of things to blog...I can. See you later with some pictures, I hope.
