When will I realize how much simpler life is when single? lol

"Ms. Calkins, I love having you for my teacher. I want you to be the fifth grade teacher here next year."

Gross. I'm extremely close to being a full-fledged adult.

A new year. Well, I graduate this year, hopefully start my first teaching job, maybe begin my Linguistics degree or Master's in Curriculum. My resolution every year is to lose weight, but whatever. I never stick to that anyway ( Read more... )

I love my cat more than I think is socially acceptable without the label of "cat lady." Not weird.

Everything is so amazing!!! I am loving life, and so grateful for it.

I'll keep your memory vague.

"Ms. Calkins, when you go through puberty, do you pee red?"

Ugh, fourth grade boys...

I was just nonchalantly talking to Luke about this and that when a weird, unexpected truth just popped out of me.

"Purpose was something I used to look for in other people.  Then, I realized it was in teaching."

I didn't even realize that about myself until I said it lol.
