To make Erin eat her words...

So u thought I wouldn't ever do this. But I am. So I don't know what to say. I'm enjoying the beautiful weather and a bit confused about where to go. I've got prospects at the new bar job, but I'm not sure where that will go. I may totally hate it, but we shall see. I definitely going to pursue a lab job at Northwestern as well. That seems like a dream to me, but maybe I have a chance.

It's very refreshing to be doing what I want to do. And I just hope I can stay strong and not let people push me into doing things just because it's easier than deciding for myself. Life really is too short to waste it unhappy. And as long as your happiness doesn't create unhappiness for someone else than that seems like the right thing.

So whatever, that is my insight for the night. Things definitely will fall into place in their own time. So Erin, don't worry about the job situation you will be led where you should be. And if you want to try something new, try it. Look into it, don't take a giant leap into something if you are only really ready for a small step.

I had a feeling you would go home and blog.

Wise words, Nina, wise words. I am feeling much better about the situation. Maybe I will just stay with the district next year and plan something different for the next year. Like going overseas. Finally.

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…
