What am I going to do?
Alrightttt
Just had a delicious midmorning snack of Greek Yogurt and cocoa roast almonds, gonna play around on Pinterest, hit the gym, and excitedly await Flavio’s return to Orlando :-)
I just don't think I'm done yet
I’m never entirely sure that I’m doing the right thing. I need constant reassurance, or so I feel, and I hate that. I want to feel confident in what I do, but it’s possibly more difficult than actually doing it. I want to be an amazing teacher and I want to change kids lives. I know that sounds cheesy, but I want to have an effect on people and I think it happens the most when we...
Elite Cuisine: Candy Galore! →
elitecuisine:
For those of us who have a massive sweet tooth, I am going to pull together a few candy recipes for us to indulge in. I think candy just makes the day better. Today it is cold, wet, and dreary where I am. With that being said, a little candy will make it a little brighter!

OMG I love buckeyes!!!

Passing time
I never thought a weekend day would feel so long. But this one is dragging in both good and bad ways. This week is going to be a little rough for me, on a personal level. When I’m sad and anxious, I chew a lot of gum and drink diet coke. Today, I chewed through two packs of gum and drank 8 Coke Zeros. Let’s pass the time, shall we?

This is pretty much what I'm living by right now
Less than
20 days until new Ingrid Michaelson. I’m dying, here.
Tell me what to do. :-(

For Us
I wish I could do better by you, ‘cause that’s what you deserve You sacrifice so much of your life In order for this to work. While I’m off chasing my own dreams Sailing around the world Please know that I’m yours to keep My beautiful girl When you cry a piece of my heart dies Knowing that I may have been the cause If you were to leave Fulfill someone else’s dreams...
“Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?”
– Skinny Love- Bon Iver
Damn.
I hate getting ready for work in the morning. Especially when I feel this fat.
The ONE day I am going to sleep in a little, my roommate decides she doesn’t need to wake up for her alarms at 5AM… So I have to listen to them.
It’s a baggy t-shirt and jeans kind of day. I’m gonna be the frumpy, fat, ugly teacher soon. It must be coming.
I’m going to go to the gym after work today. I’ve promised myself. I haven’t been since Sunday and...

I hate to over-tumbl, but...
I just ran four miles and took care of my car insurance. Not to mention, I spend my days talking to people between the ages of 11 and 14, so before I have less adult interaction and venting time. But, you know what? After four miles and paying every single one of my bills, I have to say, life just feels so good… Sometimes. I’m on such a roller coaster ride, lately. I guess it’s...
Monologues
In other news, my classes started a unit on monologues. So far, I feel that it’s going very well. Even if they talk a lot and get off task, the one thing I can say is that they are engaged when I am teaching. They mostly seem to get over-excited about things that I say to them, can’t contain themselves, and bust out in excessive comments to one another. But no one ever puts their head...
“So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a...”

The quieter I speak, the less my students talk. Why didn’t I figure that out before? Uh, DUH.
Today was a great day. First of all, work was relaxing- I gave my students a test AND finished grading all of them. Then, I came home and I had a delicious broccoli/boca burger dinner. Now, I’m watching Sex and the City and getting ready to hit the gym. After I get home, I’m gonna fine tune my lesson for tomorrow and my paycheck hits at midnight. That mean I get to go grocery shopping,...
I'm so glad today is extra long...
Because I just lesson planned my entire week. Now I just have to get my worksheets ready. Middle schoolers need worksheets and that makes me sad, because I find it to be a waste of paper. But without the structure of a worksheet they won’t even write their name on the paper. Oy.
For my personal homework, I wrote seven chapter responses, a book share response, one memory object reflection, a...
