Hi!

Hi, everyone! I really am just getting started here!

Check back again soon for actual content!

I love practically anything to do with Social Studies (except those shows about bridges on the History Channel, yawn), traveling, books, home decorating, etc.

What else? I teach high school Social Studies (AP Economics, US History, US Government), and I've also spent a few years teaching middle school. My family is from Florida, but I pretty much grew up in Germany. I've lived in Florida since college (FSU--Go Noles!).  Oh, I also LOVE college football.

I'm in the process of trying to get more techie. My mom and sister are the two techies in my family. My sister has been in the industry in CA (startups in SF, etc.) since the late 90s. My mom was the one who initially taught her how to code. My dad and I, on the other hand, are the two history buffs.

I realize, though, that it's time to get with the times. I've just started to learn Adobe Photoshop, then I plan to branch out to Illustrator and InDesign. I started up a Teachers Pay Teachers store recently, and I want to make my products turn out exactly how I envision them in my head. I also want to be able to spiff up my website/blog on my own.

(Though, I really am thinking about trying to cajole my sister taking pity on me and doing it for me.)


Don't worry--I'm not planning to spend all my time promoting my stuff here. I don't like it when that's all I read on other blogs, so I told myself I wouldn't do it here.

Alright, that's all for now! I've got to go write a U.S. Government test. (Am I the only one that HATES writing tests? I wish the ones that came with the book resources didn't suck, so I could just use those...sigh!)
