I'm back
Sorry everyone for leaving the blog for so long. Needless to say, I've been busy!
Last week I was finishing up schoolwork. I finished up my US Foreign Policy essays, on the power of the president in wartime, the ability of the media and other domestic actors to shape foreign policy, and applying themes we've learned in the class to the politics surrounding the current Iraq War.
Once I finished that I gave the final test to my undergrad class, then got to grade all the short answers and essays the next day so that grades could be turned in by Friday.
On Friday, Beth's little brother and girlfriend came down to DC and delivered an armoire to us that her grandmother had used and not needed anymore. We'll be moving our computer off our old IKEA desk and onto this much nicer looking piece of furniture, and we'll be able to close off the computer behind doors so it doesn't dominate our living room.
Then on Friday we drove with them up to Beth's parents house to spend the Mother's Day with them. We also got to see our little niece, who is now just four weeks old. Of course, she is so beautiful and adorable. But Beth and I are not ready to have a baby quite yet. There's something about the hourly crying that made us glad we still have independence.
Finally, we went to the outlet stores to go clothes shopping and both of us stocked up on dress clothes for the summer.

School's over? That's awesome!
It is hard grading the essays? I assign essays and look them over/write comments, but I've never had to grade anything. And I can imagine undergrad stuff might be a little trickier than Basic English stuff :)
