In Other News...

It seems like all I've been talking about lately is the crazy C. situation, so I figured I should write an update about the other areas of my life.

Saturday was a glorious day to be outside, and Nina and I played tennis and then got snowcones. Seriously, what could be better?

Saturday night was not as exciting, however. Nina and I signed up for this thing called Crazy Blind Date. You schedule a date (single or double) on their website, and like an hour before the date they tell you where to go and you don't get to see the person till you actually get there. It sounded fun, but we ended up not even going! We never got texts; apparently our standards were too high and they couldn't find someone to match us with. Nancy and I are trying again this Friday, so hopefully it will work this time.

The next four weeks are going to be incredibly stressful, and I'm wondering what I got myself into. I have to finish my Action Research Project (it's the equivalent of a thesis), and I'm doing two after-school book clubs and organizing a talent show. The good part of this is that April will hopefully fly by. Soon I'll have a Master's degree and it will be the end of the school year!

Speaking of summer, I've started my list of things to do this summer. I'm actually having trouble thinking of things! Any ideas?

Things with C. are quiet for now. After all the emails on Sunday, she friend-requested me on Facebook and MySpace, and I ignored both. She texted me Monday morning (just to say good morning) and twice after work on Monday. I did not respond, so I'm thinking that maybe she got the hint. But I'm a little worried. Today I smiled and said good morning when I passed her and another teacher in the hall, and she just kind of glared at me. She ignored me the rest of the day. This is too good to be true. I have a feeling this is the calm before the storm and she is not going to like being ignored outside of work. But I'm not going to anticipate trouble; I'm just going to be glad for each drama-free day I get.

My friend M. at work is one of my favorite people. She's very wise and is always right about people. I was telling her and the other 6th grade teacher about the emails on Sunday, and they looked at each other and apparently had the same thought. L. said, "It's always seemed like she's been a little too into your friendship..." but M. was blunt. She said, "Erin, I know you drink and do some crazy things. Have you guys ever made out or anything? Because that girl is acting like a jealous ex!" Hilarious. No, I don't make out with girls. But I had the same thought about the creepy ex thing.

Anyway, hopefully it's all over. I have enough things to deal with right now!

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…
