The Dreaded Teacher Look

Today, I walked.  I walked with Margaret to Shokolad, where we enjoyed delicious crepes for brunch.  I walked to the bank to deal with my missing debit card.  And I walked to a new Mediterranean place to check out their falafel.  (Not as good as Sultan's Palace.)  As I was walking to the Mediterranean place, I crossed paths with a group of kids.  One of them was emptying a bag of Doritos into his mouth.  He then tossed it on the ground.  I stopped.  He froze.  Our eyes met.  I put on my best teacher face. I slowly looked at the bag, then back at him.  I raised my eyebrows in question.  Without me saying a word, he hurried to pick it up, wide-eyed and apologetic.

That's right.  Whether in the classroom or on the street, I am Ms. B., and you better not show disrespect by littering.

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 .

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…
