in light of recent events in london (go american nsa!), this toby keith song is very appropriate. i love it!! so ironic that this happened as "world trade center" was released... i can't wait to see that movie. i hate to say it, but 9/11 didn't really affect me that much. i was at school in indiana, in my little iwu bubble, and i didn't really understand what was going on. i had never been to nyc, didn't know anyone there, and had never felt anything but safe as an american. maybe wtc will bring it home a bit for me.
mom and i went up to chicago to see jared and sarah this week. they just moved to a house in grayslake, and i hadn't seen the house yet. on thursday sarah and mom and i went to the field museum in downtown chicago. since we're all teachers, we got in free. we spent a few hours learning about animals, gems, tibet, the holocaust, and rocks (sarah says i'm a nerd 'cause i like earth science).
friday morning i woke up sick and mom and i left grayslake at like 11:00 am, but since that particular suburb that my dear brother so happened to choose is practically in wisconsin, we didn't get home till after 6:00 pm. i went to bed at 8:30 and i've been up since 6:00 this morning. today i'm going to six flags with kristen, kristin, and sarah. the young teens are going too, but luckily we're going separately this afternoon. and tonight is the.... CASTING CROWNS CONCERT!! i'm sooo excited to see them live! i just hope i feel better. right now my throat hurts, my nose is stuffed up, and i keep coughing.
wednesday before we left for grayslake, i helped register students at rjhs. it was great, because i got to meet some 7th graders, some parents, and i met some teachers i'll be working with. i adore the two teachers i met... they seemed to really like me too! i think it'll be a fantastic year. the only downside (besides the drive) is that i won't be working with dawn. we'll both be so busy... and since january, i've spent so much time with her (probably more than with ronnie) that it'll be weird to be apart. i was so blessed by that placement with her... she's wonderful.
okay. enough now. i'm gonna go stroll around myspace for awhile. peace!
