December Photo Project

Okay, yesterday was a bit of a fail. I went to Lessons and Carols at Concordia and wanted to get a picture of everyone singing "Noel Noel" with their candles, but it was too dark. But I still took a picture!



It was a beautiful service. We epsecially enjoyed the chamber orchestra accompanying the choirs. And, of course, the Bach piece was awesome. My favorite part was the reader for the reading about the shepherds. He sounded like Kermit.

Today's picture is from my classroom. One of my former students posted this quote on Facebook, and I loved it so much I put it up in my room. I worry that my students think they're stupid because they're in my class, and I want them to feel good about themselves.



It says, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it'll go its whole life believing it's stupid."

Love that quote, Einstein was a smart guy :)

Also, re: your comment on my blog, I have not tried magnets yet. Right now I'm trying yoga + aromatherapy + heat/cold treatments. It seems to be working but I've heard about magnets and might give them a try sometime!

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…
