Oy,

I was going to write more often and that translated into not writing at all.  But, having just read Victoria's blog, I am sufficiently inspired to tell folks what is going on in my life.
The trouble with never updating a journal is that it is hard to know where to start.  So, I will start with the schedule for the day:

1) wake up too early.  ( Read more... )

You know how this works, bold the places you've been and post.

1. Times Square, New York City, NY: 35 million visitors every year
2. National Mall & Memorial Parks, Washington, D.C. (Washington Monument, Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, the war memorials): About 25 million
3. Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, Lake Buena Vista, Fla.: 16.6 million
4. ( Read more... )

I just wanted to share with everyone an e-mail that I received from one of my third grade students, who is overenthusiastic about e-mailing with me.

Subject line: PUPPIES

inside: WE GOT PUPPIES!!!!

I thought that was pretty awesome.

It's 7:00 in the morning, I'm awake and my parents are not. I'm awake because Sky emits more heat than anyone I know, and my bed was so thought I had a fever or something. I don't. So, good ( Read more... )

11:55 pm and I am in my jammies alone in my room where I've been lesson planning for I guess a few hours but the time went by so fast that I didn't really notice at all - I guess I just really like this lesson planning stuff. It feels really good to be by myself - I feel like I'm getting a chance to be a little closer to me. Hard to restrain ( Read more... )

I should be, and usually am, very happy. I have...everything I could possibly want. Friends, things to do, people who love me, people who need me, a safe place to live, food, a job, schoolwork that I love. I stay up late at night reading, feel miserable, and then have to remind myself that after all I love reading, and I should be glad to do it ( Read more... )

It's been a long time since I've written, I know. It's been a long time for a lot of things. In these five or so minutes before I go down to meet Laura and study for our exam, I have a confession to make ( Read more... )

Tonight was wonderful - Thomas and Andrew are wonderful and I love them both so much. Thomas pulled out the dinosaurs that he never plays with anymore, to play with them one last time with me. Andrew raced me around the house three times. We read, watched movies, played hide and seek, baked brownies, played golf, etc. It was entirely fun ( Read more... )

Hi everyone ( Read more... )

I went in to work this morning and had left by 11:30, feeling a little not-too-good. Spent the day sleeping in my bed, and I feel so much better. And so comfortable. And so relieved not to have spent the day in my half of the cubicle reading and summarizing files. I am ready for the internship to end. I've learned a lot, but 8 weeks is plenty ( Read more... )
