This is based on U.S. & CDN info, so use all lobes of your brain. This can be more difficult than it looks - it just shows how little most of us really see!

Last night Jason and I went out to eat with my friends from Ireland. God i miss them more than words!! Jason LOVES Melissa and MJ, and really couldn't figure out what was going on with Joanne...but after a little clear up he was embarassed but ok! We also went to his friend Matt's art thingy... A naked Matt, something i wasn't expecting..but hey it happens! We also met Jude, CMU Chris, and his friend to go out for Indian in Oakland. SOOOOO GOOD! I feel like a total fatty (and kinda sick actually).
I have Noah later today..then i'm probably going back to see Jason, because he's leaving me this weekend. BOOOOO! |

have you ever been so dissapointed in someone...that you start getting so angry with them you could just spit? Have you ever decided that maybe you were being unrational...so you talk to someone that doesn't know the situation at all just to make sure you were going insane? Yeah i did. And let me tell you, so far...EVERYONE AGREES.
Whenever that other person, the one i actually respected and loved, decides to come back...LET ME FUCKING KNOW.
Other than that...i haven't been doing much. The job hunt is finally on. I think i've filled out enough resumes to last a life time. And there are more to do still. Tomorrow i get to see Jason! YAY! I hate that he's at school and i never get to see him! We're going out to dinner with Melissa, MJ, and Joanne from Ireland! WOOOOO! I miss them SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! It's the first time i've seen anyone from Ireland...well other than Nathan.....since i got back! I actually might be meeting up with Nate later too! OW OW
That's really about it! |

I've been really worried about our pillar friends in my classroom. How do you explain to 43 5 yr. olds why their pets died?
THANK GOD 3 of them turned into monarch butterflies! WHEW! Even Chels' made it...though slightly deformed. We let 2 go, and one more will be done on Monday.
3 out of 5 isn't bad.
I've been stuck at home for weeks. I haven't been going out, i haven't seen anyone, and i've been soo bored! I'm just so tired from all this work i've had to do, that i just can't go out! I miss you all! |

Well the one pilar is dead. The other we're pretty sure is dying. And so off the topic...has anyone seen the commerical for the Fit n' Fun carebears yet? They sing let's be physical. SO WRONG.
I get to play with Noah tomorrow. I'm excited! We haven't had much time together lately...and he's gotten SO BIG!! I miss him tons and tons. In his honor here's a pic.
And that's my exciting life. |

i know i've been slacking a little...but i've been so busy! I don't want to grow up anymore.
First off, i've been to Hershey the last two weekends seeing Adrian (and trying to see others....)
Second...i started student teaching. I have 45 5 year olds. Morning and Afternoon kindergarten. Kill me now. Actually most of the time they're really fun...but we have a few challanging ones!
Let's just sum up my last few days of teaching:
1. listening to 5 yr. old news everyday
2. watching them learn My Country Tis Of Thee
3. they actually sing a song about the color red
4. we had a practice fire drill for the practice fire drill.....
5. we sang the months of the year as the macarena (complete with movements)
basically....i'm tired! |
