so i should probably be lesson planning, but i really don't want to, so i won't.
this weekend was really fun and relaxing, and i still managed to get my week mapped out lesson-wise. i haven't written up the detailed plans yet, but i'm not too worried about not getting that done.
this weekend i hung out with annabelle, steve, nic, and jay. danielle and clint came up last night and we all went to the boone saloon and hung out and it was just so much fun. i really enjoy hanging out with these people. we were talking today and i think we're going to rent a beach house the week or so after graduation. i cannot wait. i think it's pretty funny that the one thing everyone is really looking forward to is reading on the beach. reading for fun is something i dearly miss right now. at least i don't have to read boring text books this semester. most of the books i have to read are adolescent lit novels and they're pretty interesting with the exception of that fucking plague book that i hate and loathe and despise. but anyway. i think the beach trip sounds amazing. i'm really happy that i met annabelle and through her, steve, nic and jay. They are really fun guys and i'm just glad that i've met them.
teaching is going okay. i'm having a little bit of difficulty getting used to how conservative of a school it is. these kids have never experienced diversity and it's hard trying to relate to them. iunno. i am getting to teach my favorite book ever and that's always pretty awesome. i think i've showed the kids how much of a dork i am about the book and i think some of them are responding positively to it. i hope someone will like it as much as i do. everytime i read that book, i get mad. i cry. i laugh out loud. every time i hope that the jury will find tom innocent and everytime they don't. and every time i get upset. it's just such an amazing book. blah, i guess that's enough booktalk for now. oh except that i'm also "coaching" battle of the books. i'm the biggest nerd ever.
i dunno what i'll be doing next year. i know i'll be teaching. i think if i'm offered the seminary scholarship that i'll turn it down. I want to be a teacher for now. I've already told people at church that I'd be back and that I want to be a youth sponsor so that will be fun. I'm glad i'm getting back into the church. it's a good place for me. the other night my roommate, josh, asked me how i'd feel if my fiance came to my bachelorette party. i replied that i didn't think i would really mind because what would i be doing that i wouldn't want him to see? and josh responded with okay what if you were anybody besides sarah, or something like that. that kind of made me feel good. that someone sees me and sees that kind of quality in me. i dunno. but yeah i dunno where exactly i'll be next year. prolly somewhere near durham, maybe as far west as burlington, but not farther, i don't think. who knows? i do know that i will probably try to come up to boone as much as possible. especially if annabelle is going to be up here teaching. i also have to visit danielle as much as possible. plus, i gotta watch my 'neers play.
okay now i have to do my lesson plans. gah!
