So here are just some thoughts I would like to share about the MAT 2008 summer session and the fine people I spent so much time with.
Don, Dennis, and Willie: The 3 musketeers. It was almost shocking that I didn’t have Patti nor Deb for a class during the summer. I’ve only had Don once as a teacher and that was a few years back. You men teach much differently too! 
All three classes were interesting, sometimes fun, sometimes I wanted to bang my head against a wall in frustration, but for the most part I enjoyed them immensely.
Josh: You crack me up. I love how you are a bit reserved, but freaking hilarious.
Richard: I’ll just say it, sometimes I didn’t know what the heck you were saying, but I’m glad you are as rad as you are.
Sara: Smarty pants McGee. I’m glad I finally got to catch a glimpse of your personality. We never really got to know each other in our other ed classes, which is unfortunate. You are also quite hilarious.
Johnna: I’ve always thought you were a bit crazy, but I’m so glad you are doing the MAT. Crazy knees…
Blake: I learned a few things about you that were shocking, but I’m glad I got to take you to Mickey D’s on your bday and buy you lunch. You are a hoot.
Michael: I don’t even know, thanks for being so neat. You are a kick in the pants.
Jamie: I’m so bummed that I didn’t get to know you more in the Spring. I was a little put-off by you until this class, but now that I know you more I’m loving it! You are so rad and I love giving you crap!!!
Aimee: hey sister, soul sister….you know the rest. What can I say? We are completely and utterly the same but different. If that makes any sense. I love ya for who you are and you make me laugh….almost too much!!!
So I guess this was a little like a year book signing, and I know we’ll be working together for the entire next year. I’m just glad it is you guys. Have a great rest of your summer.
