Wow, all of a sudden the summer seems to be flying away; one moment it seems like there are months ahead w/ nothing to do, and then BAM (snowbank! haha) it's August and everything's happening at once! This past week was definitely full of action and, to me, seemed to be almost symbolic of the recent transition from one world to the next ( Read more... )

So apparently the quizzes don't count as an update, according Mr. Simon "I need something to read at work" Ault.:-P It's kinda nice to know that some people are worse about LJ stalking than I am ;-)Also, I can't seem to sleep, so I might as well do something.....even though I ended up going to bed in the middle of this entry cause it turned out I ( Read more... )

What does one do when one has a million things on one's mind, but is too shy to write an angsty update, a bunch of events in one's life to report on, but is too bored to write a newsy update, and is up at 2:30 in the morning with the urge to update? Take a bunch of silly quizzes, of course, and post the results. :-P ( Read more... )

Mom and Dad are coming back tomorrow! funny, we all started missing them on Thursday....I guess now that the novelty of them being gone has worn off and we have begun to exhaust the things that we can do to be "wild and crazy" we're ready for them to come back and do that parent thing that they do, heh. We are going to have a "sleepover" tonight, ( Read more... )

So, yeah, who's lame enough to wake up at 7 in the morning to update their LJ? I am, I am! The way I figured it, though, is that I only ever plan to update during the late evening/early morning when I don't have any other things I should be doing, but by then I'm also tired and not feeling particularly inspired to write (at least newsy updates-- ( Read more... )

Remember that time I was complaining about not hearing from any schools yet and worrying about getting a job? Well, Everest Academy called me this morning!!! SO EXCITED!! They offered me a job teaching 3-8th grade Spanish at the boys school (they separate the boys and girls after 2nd grade) and 7th and 8th grade Latin at both schools, basically ( Read more... )

Not too much has been going on lately....but I figured that I should update as it's been almost a month since I wrote last, and to encourage my other LJ friends to do likewise (seriously people, it's so hard to stalk you all effectively in the summer when no one ever updates!! :-P ( Read more... )

something that I didn't realize until today: I got entirely too used to always having my car available. Now that Rachel's working, our beloved "Carpe Viam" is confined to the parking lot of the Farmer Jack and I am confined to as far as my two legs will take me (which isn't anywhere interesting...gotta love the suburbs....) when the sudden urge to ( Read more... )

So how's everybody been? I'm back at home, obv, making the infamous school/home switch....my stuff is still piled up in the basement, and my clothes are still either in my suitcase or piled over the screen in my room (making for an actual mess, not just my typical "controlled chaos"), I'm doing things like turning the shower faucet to cold when I ( Read more... )

The last time I wrote in this thing was exactly one month ago....one month ago I was still in the midst of student teaching, writing my monstrous thesis, and everything else UD-related....most significantly, I was AT UD. Now, as of yesterday around noon, I'm officially a UD alumna.....received my "potential" diploma, shook Dr. Curran's hand, ( Read more... )
