So here's the thing. When Tracy and I were talking on the phone tonight she mentioned that she had updated on her livejournal. I thought "huh, that's something that I haven't done in a long time." In fact, it's been since sept. 5th. Truth be told I really just forgot all about the LJ. It even took me a few minutes to remember my login info. ( Read more... )

I just got home from my first day of student teaching with actual kids and not just another boring professional development day. it was exactly how I remember the first day of school being. I didn't do anything. I stood at the front of the class all day while my host teachers went through all the same old school policy stuff. I threw my two ( Read more... )

The last three weeks have left me annoyed, exhausted, poor, sore, stiff, sick, burned, battered, breathless, bruised, cut, itchy and irritated ( Read more... )

Staff training at camp is going well so far. The newbies are good people for the most part and they all seem to work well together... for the most part. Yesterday was frustrating but I knew it would be. I'm not a big fan of Tower day. Today is going to be just as long and draining but I don' think it will be as frustrating. Believe it or not, ( Read more... )

So I rushed up to Mt Pleasant yesterday evening to surprise Tracy. It was successful. The look on her face was priceless. We did up the best little restaraunt in town and had a real nice time. Camp sarts today and I know that makes Tracy a little sad because I won't be able to see her as much as she or I would like. Letters and phone calls ( Read more... )

I said to Tracy, as we spooned, "Do you like my shorts? They're reversable." I folded up the bottom of one of the shiny orange legs to reveal a royal blue mesh ( Read more... )

I watched as endless water hurried over a collection of the most perfectly rounded stones. Cold and clear as the morning air in the dead of winter, the water had taken off the sharp edges long ago. It was always cold. Sometimes that was refreshing, like in the heat of the summer when I could sit in the middle of its path and let it take my sharp ( Read more... )

Just thought I'd update since I'm up and the thought of the homework I have to do is making my stomach turn. I'm exhausted. Last night my very old friend David told me I looked like shit. It's not the first time he's said so, but he's not really joking. ONLY KINDA. Today I have to work from 8-12, then a class, then I have to bust my ass doing ( Read more... )

Well, I thought today that since a lot has been happening lately and I had such a fantastic day yesterday that it warranted an update. Last week was hell. This week isn't going to be much better either. On Monday last week I had an exam which I found out today that I got a B on. I wasn't able to study very well for it because I had worked at ( Read more... )

It's that "Mad" time in March again where I'm at my computer or in front of the TV nearly all day everyday and I can't seem to concentrate on anything else for more than five minutes at a time. So really the only thing that changes is that lots of other people are doing the same thing. Even people that like sports get into the bracket because it ( Read more... )
