Vile little things.

Seriously ... I've never seen (and been regularly bitten by) so many mosquitoes in my life!

Geez, Louise!

I'm drowning in training!

This week alone I have training for CScope (a lesson organization computer thingy - very techincal), Gifted and Talented (to teach AP classes), and CDL classroom (for driving the Yellow Dog to away games).

Not that I'm complaining ... at least I have a job!

It's all just a little overwhelming when all of the training runs on top of one another. I'll be ready for school to start, if for nothing else, to know I have completed all of this extra stuff.

(Uh, and yeah ... I did say that I will be DRIVING the school bus. Whaaaaaaa ...?!)

Myers-Briggs Personality Test

I'm currently training to work with GT students (gifted and talented), and during my training, I have come across (or, rather ... rediscovered) some interesting things.

The Myers-Briggs Personality Test is one of the most interesting (and revealing) tests I have ever taken. I actually took it about 6 years ago in one of my college classes, and retook it again this morning. I am still the same personality type: INFJ.

The Counselor: (Introverted, INtuitive, Feeling, Judging)

Apparently, my personality type is only prevalent in a little over 1% of the population. No wonder people think I'm so strange! Ha.

Descriptions on my type found here: Keirsey's Description and Typelogic's Description.

It's free and incredibly interesting.

Since when do I have a bad ankle?

I am SO TIRED!

We went to Carlsbad for the 4th with Alex's family (dad's side) and stayed up late every night chatting without sleeping in the next morning(s).

Then we had to leave last night while everyone was loading up on the ferry for fireworks to get back to Lubbock so that I could be at volleyball camp bright and early this morning.

Coaching is definitely different from playing; however, when you are teaching skills to kids, demonstration (and a whole lot of it) is a must.

I hate to admit it, but I'm really feeling my age this evening.

(Granted, I'm nowhere near "old," but still ...)

Sap-filled moment.

This morning I have been doing a bit of gardening and general tidying while listening to Journey's Greatest Hits. (Product of the 80's ... what are you gonna do?)

It is amazing to me that no matter how many times I have heard the song, Faithfully, I STILL get huge goosebumps every, single time I hear the line:

"I get the joy of rediscovering you ..."
