That's Ms.Klein to you!

I had a cool thing happen today. 

I signed on to the University of Alaska website that allows me to view the classes that I am registered for this semester.

There is a whole list of current and previous courses I've taken and at the top I see this:

Courses you are teaching:

201002_ED_A580_403_53333

80046_ED_S593_J27

How cool is that?!!  Oh, how I love my job.

Anyway, this is going to be a crazy couple of months.. Why you ask? Well...

Next week I travel to Thorne Bay on Prince of Wales Island (see the map at the bottom of the blog.. the island is down on the bottom right).  I will be teaching 24 teachers.  This is how crazy this trip is:

Anchorage to Juneau

Juneau to Sitka

Sitka to Ketchikan

stay one night

Ketchikan to Thorne Bay

stay three nights

Thorne Bay to Ketchikan

stay one night

Ketchikan to Niblack (a copper/zinc project)

stay one night

Repeat the process but in reverse order..  whew!

Following that trip I will be heading on vacation to see my old friends for 10 days.

**(Please God let there be sun)**

Following that trip, I get home and head right back out to go to Soldotna (on the Kenai Peninsula) to teach some more teachers.. will be there for 4 days.

Toss in an 8 hour a week practicum at the Pioneer Home (ol' folks home), 2 classes and work at the office-- I am going to be BUSY!!

Despite the dreary, rainy summer, my flowers are doing considerably well. They have come a long way and I just love them! Every day I walk outside and smell the fragrance of 20 different types of flowers and you can’t help but smile.

I did have an Oops moment with the flowers. I took the lazy way out after planting the bed on one side of my house. I bought a “roll of wildflower” seeds. Now, they are starting to pop up here and there but they are definitely taking their sweet time.

Either way, the planting, tilling, fertilizing, weed pulling and bees is all worth the joy of seeing one new little flower pop up.

Who would have thought flowers could be so great!!?
