I think I am going to get you know, those things you can put over your eyes when you go to bed to block out light? Um what are they called? I don't know. But I guess they're blindfolds or whatever. Anyway they're usually black satin or something like that. Or have stuff written on them like "princess" or have a leopard print pattern or ( Read more... )

So I'm totally not sleepy, trying to go to bed, babysitting and I have to get up at 6:30 tomorrow to drop the kid off at school. Grr. So I'm bored and mad that all my friends are going out and I'm stuck babysitting all night, so I'm going to write in here ( Read more... )

So I'll get you up to date on what's been going on in my little bubble lately. Last day of classes. Done with exams! Said goodbye to the kids in Mr. Preiss's 6th grade class :( Went to office Christmas party with Mario. Flashback to middle school sleepover this weekend! Got to hang out with awesome gay friend. Gave a friend some awesome girl ( Read more... )

I had the most interesting dream last night. All I remember is that there was a foreign woman telling me a story, and the message she relayed to me was, "Life is too short to imagine doing only what you think of doing, isn't it? Do what you are destined to do." And then immediately following that statement, my alarm went off. It was like a ( Read more... )

Soooo ... I had an interesting Thanksgiving with my family. If you understand what kind of a family I come from, you're on your way to understanding me just a little bit better. I was at Food Lion with my dad and we were supposed to get ice cream for the apple pie, and I was reaching into the store freezer and I told my dad to hold the door. I ( Read more... )

do the dishes, and massage her feet, all while waiting for the timer to ring on the apple pie he's baking her. And to do all that manly stuff too, like fix the drain, and mow funny designs in the yard on the riding lawnmower. At least, that's what my dad always did ( Read more... )

Denny hadn't slept in over 24 hours. The smell of mildew, rotting cheese, and cat poop lingered stagnant throughout his confining apartment. A thin, withered blanket served as a makeshirt curtain, the top of which he had carelessly knotted onto the curtain rod, producing slithery shadows that coerced and flickered with the currents of the ( Read more... )

ok so I went ice skating for the first time today! It was so much fun!! Can you believe there's an ice skating rink in Wilmington? I think with a little practice, I could totally kick Kristi Yamaguchi's butt. Me and Steph were talking to this cute little kid who said he was ......... BORN IN 1999 ( Read more... )

Today I'm just taking pleasure in the beauty of life. A drive with the windows down, immersing myself in some therapeutic music, good literature, etc. What I'd really like to do is go for a run, but it's getting cold and dark. Grr. I think school is bringing me to a burnout point where I just don't care about any of it. I definitely appreciate ( Read more... )

So today I taught a few lessons in the middle school I'm doing my field work in. I taught a 6th grade Language Arts lesson and a 7th grade Social Studies lesson. I used to think I wanted to teach 7th grade, but now I think 6th grade is the way to go. And I still think I want to teach overseas. We did a lesson on a folk tale and I had them read ( Read more... )
