Where should I go?

I can't take it anymore! This district is driving me crazy! There's no room for creativity. They're so rigid. How can I help these kids when no one wants to try anything new? So I know now that next year, things have to change. Even if they offered me a job here, I won't take it. I sent in my packet for overseas teaching and here are my top choices (not in order):

Austria
Brazil
Cameroon
Costa Rica
Cyprus
Germany
Israel
Marshall Islands
Netherlands
Philippines
Poland
Puerto Rico
Spain

Right now I REALLY want to go to the Marshall Islands, Cameroon, Puerto Rico, or Cyprus, but that could change. And I might not go anywhere. I signed up for the job fair, but it sounds really competitive. So I'll just pray about it and I know I'll end up where I'm supposed to. But I know for sure that where I am now is not where I'm supposed to be. I'm just going to do what good I can while I'm here.

P.S. Funny story from the classroom: The kids were taking notes on bones and joints. They were writing about the ball and socket joint, and Sydney raises her hand and says seriously, "Now that's something that just a guy would have, right?"

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
