NGU Pride


"Mrs. Baaaagleey, is dat where yous from?" 

August 30th was national "Wear Your College Colors Day." And we celebrated by all faculty being allowed to wear their college shirts. Since I live in the land of LSU Tigers, I was proud to wear my North Georgia colors! I even posted some printouts on my classroom door! Several of my students enjoyed the picture of campus showing those glorious Smokies in the background! 

(yes... yes I know it is no longer NGCSU, and now is just NGU, the saint bernard is no longer the school mascott, and the logo has changed. But people 'round here don't care of the difference)

eMug


I found this at target a week ago and thought it was pretty fitting for being a teacher at the moment:) Sometimes it can feel like I'm constantly behind, but I know that the end result it always well worth it!

Labor Day ReCap

So I'm a week late on updating the blog world on what we did last weekend. I'm just sure you have all been sitting there in sheer anticipation, waiting for me to inform you on what Chris and I did for Labor Day.... cue extreme exaggeration:)


We decided that it would be great to end Summer with a day at the beach, just the two of us. Gulf Port, Mississippi is about an hour away, and they have a Dairy Queen, which is bonus points because NOLA doesn't have any. It was a hot day at the beach, VERY LITTLE breeze, notice the lack of any waves. Have you ever seen the gulf so lackluster?? We've been to Gulf Port before, so we knew what to expect. The water is yucky and we hardly got in it. With the Mississippi River Delta not too far away, it causes the salt/fresh water ratio to make the water murky. 



This was the temp Sunday afternoon around 2:30 in Amite, Louisiana. It was smokin' hot outside! Ode to fall temperatures.....

To celebrate actual Labor Day, on Monday night we invited some seminary friends over to BBQ some chicken. The heat actually had us all huddled inside our living room to eat, and we enjoyed swapping some silly stories. 

I enjoyed having Monday off of school, but it really didn't make the week go by any quicker. This week at school was pretty long, trying to stuff enough learnin' for 5 days into 4 can be quite a struggle!
