I am completely exhausted. This Action Research Project is the equivalent of a thesis, and it's killing me. But I only have about ten pages left, and I graduate in less than three weeks. I know I haven't been answering my phone or returning calls and texts and emails as much as I should, and I apologize. But I really don't think I should be allowed out in public at this point anyway; I'm no fun. Well, unless you really enjoy hearing about student motivation and engagement.

On top of being stressed, I'm sick again. I'm wondering if that ENT doctor was right, and I should have my tonsils out. But I hear that the older you get, the more painful it is. Still, I'm getting sick way too often, and that's painful, too. Right now I want to reach in and just rip out my tonsils. So maybe surgery would be a good alternative.

Nina and I discussed our lists of things to do this summer. Nina suggested some type of slip 'n' slide, and the idea evolved from there. We are going to set up a slip 'n' slide at the beach that goes into the water. The only complication is where we can get a hose. Unless we can get a fireman to park his truck on the beach, we will just have to use a bucket to dump water on the slip 'n' slide. We may resurrect the idea of urban rowboating as well.

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…
