Hi

Hi,

I am posting from class right now. This is our first class for READ 500. This will be my blog for the class.

To add on to this, I am one of 3 Rachel's in the class. However, I'm the only Rachel that is in the NJCUE program. :o) Besides finishing up my first year teaching, I got married in September, started Grad school, bought a house and just adopted a dog. It was a challenging year to say the least but definitely worth it all.

For fun I like to play softball (I'm in two leagues) where I pitch, I love to read, mountain bike, swim, write in a journal, travel, drive, and I am into cars. I also play music- the violin, piano, trumpet and am in the process of teaching myself the guitar. I am also a lover of animals and have two cats and a new puppy, as I mentioned before. If I ever won the lottery (which I don't know why I say that since I don't ever play it) I would buy acres of land and run a "farm" full of dogs, cats and any other unwanted pets. My husband tells me I'm crazy. Maybe he's right. LOL :o)
