It's Been Too Long
did anyone even notice my absence from the world of posting?
Probably not. I've been reading other's journals, but I apparently forgot I had one myself. So here's a post. You probably won't care, but here we go...
Junior year is progressing. I'd say progressing nicely, but I'm not sure. I'm having a great time. I LOVE student teaching, and I love the school I work at the other two days. The kids I work with are sooo awesome. The student teaching class are first graders, and they are little monsters. It was supposed to be an inclusion class (two teachers, a lot of 'difficult' kids), but the school didn't get funding for it, so the second teacher gets sent out a lot, but all the kids with special needs are there all day ... it's like, REAL teaching, first semester. I'm really happy I'm not in a plain general education site, even if this doesn't count for my special ed placement. I'm learning a lot, and having fun doing it, so why complain?
My room is still really good. I don't really get to talk to Danielle much, because we have basically opposite schedules, and she's also much more of a partier than I'd ever try to be, but she's really nice. Jhumur and I hang out a lot, but she got reaccepted to the University of Pittsburgh (where she transferred from last spring) and is going back because she hates NYU, so I won't have her next semester. And my roommate, Angela (Angie, Changa, etc.) is pretty cool. I wasn't so sure at first, because I NEVER got to talk to her because she was aaaaaaaaalways with her boyfriend, Mike (still is, but I can talk to both of them so it's okay. They're in Maine right now, actually), but she's pretty cool. Kind of like my roommate last year, but not. I miss Jessica like CRAZY. But The Changa is cool...except for Tuesday night when she apparently drew a picture of Chucky and hung it on my monitor so when I got up at 5:40 to go student teach, I saw that and almost died.
Angie bought a hamster. His name is Shamu. Shamu is pretty rockin'. Except for the fruit flies that attack his cage. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH FRUIT FLIES?? They are suuch assholes! The only cool fruit flies are ones cultured by Mr. Mike Zunno in his AP Bio lab. Otherwise ... drop dead. Please. I hate you.
A year ago tonight, I was at Metallica. That means something else happened a year ago. Anyone wanna take a guess?
Last weekend was absolutely amazing. I got to see Weezer and the Foo Fighters in concert, two bands I have been waiting a LOOONG time to see (Weezer since like, 8th grade, Foo since about 6th). Amazing. And Erica & I had interesting neighbors, and a guy in front of us to watch, so it was cool. Then I got up at 5am on Saturday and went to DC to see Nicole and her dorm FINALLY, and then we went to go see an amazing Rugby game. Nicole, you read this...I am 99.9% sure. I love you. Thank you SO MUCH for taking me around DC. I am so glad I got to see you. I wish I lived closer to you. You are one of my best friends on the entire planet. I love you. I'm sorry if you were just completely bored the entire time/didn't care about why we were at the game (you admit though, he's hot as hell?), but I really REALLY appreciate you going with me. You are the best.
Hmm - Not too much else to update. Emily would like to know when Robyn will be getting her skinny ass into Manhattan to hang out. Really, now.
Just the end, I guess. Still alive, still doing a ton of work and running around and not ever getting to sleep or party too much, but I love it. You're all welcome here ANY TIME to visit. And as a final thought, what should I have for dinner tonight?
