being a grown-up is so uneventful...
as much as happened in the last few months of my life, everything feels rather mundane and ordinary right now.
i want to write this fabulous update concerning my crazy and exciting life and as i sit here thinking about it..........i feel blank, like i got nothing! but here is my best effort.
i am getting settled into my new house, as you all know and getting settled into my new job, as you all know.
i am enjoying my life a billion times more than i did at this time last year and am thankful for some stability and the chance to form some healthy routines in my life. i have even worked myself into the habit of waking up at 5:30 am every morning to work out before school. i am proud of that and hoping it will last... i am also trying to try new recipes and cook more things that at one time i would have been scared to cook. i walk odie every night too...which is good, but he is so spoiled about it that every night he starts getting really jumpy and freakish before the walk. it is sort of annoying.
school is going well. in spite of any bad day or any kid who pisses me off, this school and these students are angels compared to last year. thank goodness for this. i feel so much more like a real teacher this year and less like this awkward college student trying to prove to a group of foracious teenagers that she is in fact a teacher and an authority figure. so all in all, i really do love it. the only drawback is driving to archbold and i can't even complain about that because of my carpool. the carpool also makes my life so much more entertaining... but i am stil feeling this churning in my stomach about my career and future and what not... i guess i am the nervous, always thinking ahead, always anxious about something type...and so i am sure that is where it is coming from...but still i wonder how soon i need to decide how much longer i will teach.
i am getting excited about thanksgiving break which is now 10 school days away. i can't wait to have a break and not have to drive 3 hours and sleep in someone else's bed for the entire time like last year. maybe that sounds weird, but that is what i am looking forward to most for my thanksgiving break. that and i will also be painting my bedroom. i can't stand the ugly-ass faux sponge painting any longer. so i am going to do it and prove ryan wrong and actually successfully paint a room.
in conclusion, my life is good right now, really good. i hope you enjoyed reading my paper. thank you. i think i am getting a sore throat too.
