Holy Moly, it's December..
And I'm on vacation!!! WOOO WEEE! Teaching is the GREATEST! Aside from the fact that my students TOWER over me, teaching at the high school has been pretty fun. I've learned all kinds of words to keep me cool. Such as:
1. Rash: This is not a medical condition for skin irritation. It is actually a verb meaning "to make fun of someone." In use: "Oh! Ms. Felix rashed on you!"
2. To bang: this has a different meaning than what I remember. It means to fight. So, it is in fact okay for 2 guys to "bang." Hmmmm.
3. Tight: Now I thought this one meant "cool." Like, that shirt is "tight." Nope. It means mad. And if one your students are "tight" in the cafeteria, run. Or else orange to the eye for you!
My daily adventures at the high school include games such as "Where in the school is my student?" "Texting is NOT the same as typing", "Yes I AM a teacher", "Rap battle 101" (I'm phenomenal!) and "Please no more sexual harassment."
Well, I'm never bored.
In other Diana news, my house is FANTASTICAL. We've hosted fun events such as the 12 donuts in an hour challenge (only 2 survivors), "Who can live without heat the longest? (draw)," Flip Cup and Beer Pong tournaments (please you know I rock!), 80's party (we had a Larry Bird, Ghostbusters, old school Nintendo, and Madonna), trivia challenges and nightly Jeopardy Roommate battles for the dishes. It's always a fun time at the Felix fun house...
Now, as much as I've been HATING this freezing cold weather, yesterday all my winter fondness was brought back to me....IT SNOWED! YAY! Like REALLY snowed! I had a BLAST staying in and drinking hot chocolate, building snowmen, sitting in my tube in my front yard, looking at the trees with snow, NOT driving...ah....it was GREAT! I still have to make an igloo but I got two weeks for that!
I had lots of time to catch up with old friends at the Thanksgiving bar crawl and the nights at Rick's with the coworkers. Looks like I am still an alcoholic...nice. :) just know that a Diana AND Danny combo out together is DEALY! Betty, we're lucky he never visited Saipan...
Now I'm on the grad school hunt and I'm looking here, New York, Miami and Ireland. Woo wee! In my near travel plans, we're thinking of road tripping it to DC in February and possibly meet up with Steve-O and Jimbo and then to New Orleans for some Mardi Gras fun! We just dont have a vehicle...yet. I'm thinking a black sketchy van would do the trick. Anyone got one of those? :)
So that's the update. now for the reason for my rambling....
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY IN 9 DAYS!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Get ready Boston!
