Problem Solved

My problem is solved. The only reason I was reluctant to go to Governor's State was because it is a bit of a drive from my place. Well, and I would have liked the experience of living somewhere new for a while. But anyway, I thought UIC didn't have the program I wanted, but I was wrong. It just falls under the Instructional Leadership category (which I thought meant administration). Also, I talked to my friend last night who used to teach at the crazy middle school, but has taught 6th grade with me for the past 2 years. She thinks I would be fine at the middle school and is thinking about going back there herself. So, next year I will be working on my master's at UIC and teaching 7th or 8th grade at the middle school in our district. I'm really happy with this decision because it doesn't have to be permanent; after I get my reading master's, then I can do the overseas teaching or move to a different city or district.

I guess I should start getting ready for work. I could not sleep last night, even though I was tired. So I only got a few hours of sleep. Today is not going to be fun. I was actually able to relax over break, but now I get to go back to that frantic feeling of not having enough time. I think things will actually be easier when I start at UIC; I will only be taking 6-8 credits a semester there, and right now I'm taking 9-12 credits a semester. Ok, no one cares... I just need to stop procrastinating and get ready...

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…
