you complete me.

soooooooooooooo.
xmas break.
is a... yeah almost over. sorta. halfway finito.
christmas isnt what it's cracked up to be. all this time preppin' for it to come and gifts to get and food to make and fights to get into with the family for "not helping" even though they yell at you for trying...

but im kinda glad we have the week of chill time.
and you know what that meanssssss :)
DARK KNIGHT TIME :)

haha by far the best xmas gift i recieved.
if any of you havent seen it.... you havent lived at all. the past 17 ++++ years of your life... pointless until you've seen this masterpiece.

anyhooo.
i hope you all are having fun doing god knows what on your break time. (brauer probably is wishing some art pieces)
i'll try to check in again, but if not, ttyl.

OMG!!! I wonder what happened???!!!

Well, so I checked in on December 19th, the day school ended.  I was promised some company.  I thought someone would come in, sit down and chat with me for a little bit about their work, their holiday, or maybe even what Santa brought them.  But NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

That's interesting though because this time it wasn't my idea to get back onto the blog.  I wasn't the one who said "Please Mrs. Brauer, could we start the blog again?  Can we post things and have you check in and give us some advice?"

And despite the fact that I don't have internet in Columbus, I still agreed to make the loooooooong drive to Panera to be able to check the postings and give you feedback.  *Scratches her head...  Hmm I wonder what happened?  wink, wink*

...feels like deja vu...weird

Well it's been a while since anyone ventured into these "waters" but here I am again.

Seems we don't need this as much as I thought we would during the regular school year.  

Now that it's Christmas break though, it may be useful to keep in touch.

I will check in everyday.  You check in whenever the need arises.

Post whatever you like.  I will be happy to give you some feedback on your work, or suggestions for your next piece.

Don't let the time go by without using this opportunity well.

I have a couple of things I need to do too so I may be posting my progress as well.

My grades are finalized.  They are posted to "Edline".  No one in any of  my classes earned a failing grade for either the quarter or the semester.  I am pleased about that.

I hope you all take time to enjoy the holidays.  After all that's why we are off.  But don't blow this chance to get a bunch of work done either.  If you need to work, then I will definitely be here to cheer you on to reach your goal.  The image (above) is of my home the year we decided to not put up a tree.  We got a reindeer instead and put our presents under that!  It freaked out the dog at first, but she got used to it.

Interestingly enough, the tree is not up yet this year.  Don't worry, I'm getting to that.  I have most of my presents bought and most years I can't say that at this stage of the game, so I guess I'm just doing things in a different order this year.  "Change is good...."

I also changed some of the colors to Christmas colors.  I thought it might be more appropriate.  :-}
