I have nearly debilitating cramps right now. Ouch.
I want to rearrange my room. I need someone to be here to help me.
It finally snowed here last night. It was a beautiful snow, really large flakes silently falling. Very serene & beautiful. But not enough snow to close the schools yet.
I went photographing yesterday, and it was rejuvenating.
My first week of student teaching went great. I'm actually introducing a lesson on my own tomorrow. It's one of the teacher's lessons, he'll be out of town so he put me in charge for a day. He told me he wasn't worried about it only being my second week, because he thinks I'm doing a fantastic job & already taking charge.
Chicago job ideas: substitute teaching (which can be a full time gig), bartending (I'm not ready to give it up yet), barista at a coffee shop (perhaps Intelligentsia?), dog walker (get paid to exercise!).
I want to drive cross country this summer. With Jeavon living in San Francisco, we have a perfect destination point. She may come home this summer for a month or two, then we'll drive back. We'd have to rent a car, because I'll fly home from San Fran. I want to stop in Vegas, among other things.
Jonathan's mom may be sending us to France for a week this summer as his birthday present. It's very tentative, so I'm not getting my hopes up.
Besides work on Saturday, I have been pretty lazy this weekend. Today I hope to change that. I have to do laundry, organize my room a little, possibly go to Borders or Barnes & Noble, maybe stop at the mall to find another pair of pants for student teaching (or a skirt).
I've been reconnecting with people from high school lately. It's a little weird, but comforting at the same time. I had a great group of friends in high school and cut ties with them before I left for college for the most part. Now it's been 9 years and I think we're all curious. Sometimes I think I've changed a lot as a person since high school, but then I think about it, and I don't think my personality really has changed all that much. I'm just as sassy, outrageous, loud, fun, sarcastic and opinionated as I was in high school. Just because we get older doesn't mean we have to change all the time.
I keep having very vivid dreams, to the point that I have to do a reality check when I wake up sometimes.
I love my apartment, and I'm going to miss it very much when I move back home. Dani's moving in with Justin, so I won't even be able to come back to visit it.
My parents won't let me have Jax home with me when I move this summer. Luckily, Dani and Justin offered to take care of him for a few months until I get my own place. Sometimes I think he likes them more than me anyway, so I know he'll be okay, and he won't be lonely, and I'll come to visit so he doesn't forget who I am, haha.
I want to go roller skating. Or ice skating. Maybe both?
