Princeton

So, I haven’t been blogging because I really don’t have anything interesting to say. The latest employment news is that my district probably will not hire people back until January, and I can’t wait that long. So, moving has become more of a reality. I’ve started packing up some stuff in my classroom and organizing cabinets and stuff in my apartment so it will be easy to pack. There’s some stuff I could even pack now and just store at my parents’ house for a while. I have an interview next week at a school in a small town near Princeton, which is the small town I dream of living in. I mailed my stuff on Saturday, and they called me this afternoon and wanted me to come on Wednesday, but I can’t go till Monday. I’m not sure if I should even go. The advantages are that it’s the small town I’ve always wanted to live in, and it’s not too far from home. But I feel like it would be social suicide to move to a small town like that when I’m single. And what kind of guys would I be meeting there? Farmers? It’s probably not a good idea for me. Also, I’m not exactly sure what the position is. It’s for Title I Reading, but that could mean many things. And it looks like the Title I teachers service elementary, middle, and high school in this district (they’re all in one big building), so I’m not sure what that would be like. I think I’m going to go to the interview and at least see what the job is. At the worst, it will just be good practice for interviews that matter. At this point, I really want to move further away, and I’m determined to get a job doing exactly what I want. Louisville is at the top of my list.

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…
