what a difference a weekend makes
whew.
it's been a little crazy around here!
watched the debate at mary's last week. it was interesting. i was a bit surprised to see mccain's frustration causing him to choke and answer few, if any, questions in what is supposed to be the environment he is most comfortable speaking: the 'town hall' style meeting. obama held his own by remaining calm and collected and answering most questions directly. it was a breath of fresh air. adam came with me. i was glad he was there. although he isn't the biggest fan of politics, he pushed through like a warrior until he started to fall asleep around 915, ha! i'm looking forward to mary's this wedensday...thank goodness i have a night off from class so i don't miss it!
other than tuesday i was a bit overwhelmed last week and just not in the mood. period. for ANYTHING. i was stressed with work, school, boyfriend, EVERYTHING. i think i have decided that it is just the fact that i'm so close to something so exciting and i still have to sit around and wait. i don't know. that and the fact that i tend to try to take on all that adam's got going on in addition to my own stuff b/c i'm more of a control freak than i knew? eh.
adam's best friend andy was in town from houston this past weekend. i got the best friend seal of approval, which is always nice. katie was down here for the weekend too. we all went out to adair's on friday night and got a bit toasty. i enjoy that place. so many normal people. saturday i watched karen's daughter grace for a few hours. then katie and i went out to see the guys while they were watching the end of the game. what a mess! they were all drunk and silly! we ended up at sherlocks just hanging out. i was done at about 630p. i'd had enough! so i went home. katie stayed out until almost 1am. she's a rockstar! i'm old and tired :P i'm glad she was able to have some fun and unwind. sunday adam and i went to church, saw 'city of ember' at studio movie grill, and spent some quality guitar hero time :) it was nice. we are so busy, it is rare these days that we get time with just each other.
went to a 'teachers in progress' meeting at school sunday evening. the guest speakers were two asst principals. one from garland and one from wylie. they discussed interviewing with us. i'm not looking forward to that part of it. i hate interviewing. i think i will do ok though. i'm trying to start getting my thoughts in order now. although, i am sure they will change a lot when i am in the classroom as a student teacher next semester. man, am i looking forward to THAT. especially since i will be with a teacher i am already comfortable with and in a school that i have the inside connection to (thanks mom). keep on truckin'.
oh we watched iron man last night. GOOD. liked it and wasn't expecting to at all. robert downey jr looks like a douche with that facial hair but he's still a fab actor in my opinion.
so...things are going pretty ok. i'm still tired but i'm not as cranky. letting loose this weekend and not doing ANY homework really helped my state of mind. i just get too freakin' stressed and wound up! can't help it...sigh.
monday is half over folks...yippee!
i'm going to try to write a lesson plan now...
