I started my Christmas shopping yesterday. To most people, I'm REALLY early, but to my standards, I'm REALLY late. I have at least 30 people and hopefully after this day is over, I'll be at least 33% done with the shopping. It's funny how I have this reputation at work for giving good presents (not always expensive ones...) but good nonetheless. I wonder where that came from. I've only had 2 Christmases with that group. Hmmm...well I guess this year looks like money isn't too big of an issue this year as it was last year.

Confirmation was real good last night. I was very happy with the input I got from the group. I don't really expect much from anyone at this point...I mean, we've only started. I can see a lot of potential in this group this time around. I just hope I can help them utlize their oh-so-expanding potential. I think it's safe to say these students are settling in little by little. It'll get there. It's always weird at the beginning of the year.

Crap, I really ought to get to class. I have five minutes before class starts and the door is about 10 feet away...

I think I'll go Christmas shopping some more on the way home.BTW, for those who were thinking of getting me the Lilo and Stitch DVD. I beat you to it.
