new semester

i honestly cannot believe that i start student teaching on tuesday. it is beyond my comprehension. really. sometimes i think, oh yeah, i'm gonna be getting up at 5:30am on tuesday. and then the other part of me says, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" 

i will manage the early hours. i am not too worried about the teaching but i think my biggest battle will be classroom control. but if we start off on the right foot...i think it will really be to my advantage.

backyard post #1

no mr. bumble bee, i am not a flower. however, i am flattered by your attentions.

my backyard is really lovely. the sun is setting and it is turning into a cool night. i've been swimming everyday since saturday and i really love it. i feel like i might get addicted to it. i almost want to go back again tonight but i got all gussied up and i am of a mind to go out...

however, i need to trim my bangs first. ah the life of the girly girl. 

sometimes.

when i'm not sweating my butt of in the water (who knew?).

far away for far too long

hello blog.

sorry i've been neglecting you. 

yesterday was a weird day. all of the sudden i was really popular and turning down invites left and right. however not nice of me that may have been, i did get to watch a spectacular movie with B. 

Random Harvest with Greer Garson and Ron Coleman. If you are looking for a suspenseful romance from the 1940's classic era, well, this is it. This film brings stereotypical 40s elements to the table: a man tormented by the war, a clever show girl, rich families and big business. However, the subtleties in this movie are what make it a great film. You'll find yourself a mess trying to figure out how this one will turn out but it will be worth your while.

Ok, movie review aside, things are looking up. Today was payday and there is a soccer scrimmage later tonight. Also, the pole vaulting stuff is on tonight for the olympics and an alumnus from my school is in it! Maybe I can manage to get some organizing done before it gets too late. 

More tomorrow as it will be Saturday and I will have time for some reflecting.

Love,

weekendhack

just keep moving

i love boxes.

i love free things.

i love love free boxes.


:)

this week has been, well, insane. i have absolutely no free time as it is coming down to the wire to get things out of our apartment & cleaned by monday(ish). b wants to be done by tomorrow hopefully but i'm thinking sunday will be the day that i finish up. i just haven't had the time this week. i've worked over 50 hours and moved everything i have accumulated in the last three years back to my house. on top of that, we painted mine room and b's room starting last week with mine and finishing this past weekend with b's. needless to say, our house has been a MAD house.

hopefully, tonight will prove its worth with some well deserved socialization and relaxation. i can see the finish line and it's approaching quickly... tonight we will attempt to move the big couch. if we can't..well...i'm calling my uncle. he owns a truck. it should fit in the back of the van, especially since all the seats have been removed.

moving home is a lot trickier than moving to the dorm. you can't leave anything behind! (especially when you know almost the entire cleaning crew and that they will have your butt on a silver platter if you leave your nasty nacho chips all over the cupboards!)

so there is my life at the moment. i did get a chance today to get outside a bit. it's such a beautiful day and here i am...working again. i HATE fluorescent lights. they make me dizzy.

well, i am off to blog else-where. i have a feeling that my twitter is going to go nuts tonight.
