Halfway home....

Hello fellow cohortions. Today is July 7th, or 7/7 if your down with not using words. I don't know about everyone else, but I have less than a month left until I have to report to the Valley for my indoctrination into all things social studies. I don't know if it is just me, but I am so unbelievably excited to start teaching like every day. I do not think that I have ever talked about anything as much as I have talked about teaching. This includes Matt Holliday (my baseball hero), zombies, candy, magic bronco shoes, my man room and the word "hello." I could go the rest of my life never saying anything about teaching ever again and I think I would be ok. You all know me, so you know that is not going to happen, but it is a nice thought. I am so excited to go and do. I might go down in flames or I might be riding a fiery chariot across the sky, but I won't be "reacting" to an article. It is going to rock. I look forward to the possibility of sucking as much as I look forward to hopefully not sucking. I look forward to returning to campus a changed man. I might even grow a soul patch.
Also, in case anybody is curious, here is an update on my summer:
-I turned 25. (that is a long time to survive natural selection)
-My wife turned 25
-The Apex Blazers (my track team) continues to dominate the state at being awesome and running really fast.
-The Arvada Bulldogs (my high school Cross Country team) are fighting a daily battle to meet me at 6:30 in the morning with their over zealous coach instead of succumbing to the pillow monster.
-The Rockies record when I go watch is Ben Hershelman-0. Otherwise they are not mashing as expected.
-I banished my cats from the man room. Now I have a glorious cat-free sanctuary.
-Watched seasons 1-3 of the office.
-Convinced three 8th grade girls that they are not cool enough to be different.
-Screamed "Friendship always wins" at opposing track teams as their runners pass by.
-Wrote this blog.
-Wondered what everybody else is up to.
