Bye, LJ. New blog here: http://mskimizzle.blogspot.com (an homage to Ms. Frizzle, the kind of science teacher I'd like to be. It's also kinda gangsta, and you know me).

Two entries in one day! I must be PMSing and emo. I think I made a rash, stupid decision to go to Los Angeles for TFA. I keep reading their website and learning about their different placement regions ( Read more... )

Life got busy... sorry...

That, my friends, is why I've been absent. All is well. Now that summer stretch bio is over, let's hang out ( Read more... )

So here I am on the eve of my departure procrastinating on packing by making a long overdue LJ update.

Departure, you say? I'm off to Kauai for 10 days bright and early tomorrow! We leave the house at 7 A.M. and get back ~9:00 P.M. on Wed 6/21. Traveling babysitter = free vacations :) And though I'll be on the sunny shores of Hawaii the whole time, ( Read more... )
