Some quick updates for y'all:
- Moved back home. It's been...well...ugh. My mom and I fight almost every week, which is whatever - our relationship is always better when I don't live under her roof. All in all, it's not a complete drag though.
- Have a job as a 5th grade educational assistant. I'm really upset that I didn't get a teaching job this school year, especially having worked (I feel) as hard as I possibly could for one. But I really like my job and the people I work with. Love going to school everyday. Just wish I was in front of a classroom instead of helping out.
- Starting grad school in January. Yay! I'll be halfway done with my ESL endorsement by June.
- Laura got a teaching job. Another yay! I guess I'm living vicariously through her, though it's hard.
- Hanging out with the kids from high school more and more, since we're pretty much all back home now. It's nice, getting updates on all of their lives. Still seeing Bashirah about once a month, and I talk to Amelia about once a month as well.
- Since I really don't have any lesson planning or homework to do anymore, I feel like my brain has been rotting since January. It even feels good to be writing, because I'm excercising my brain just a bit. I watch a lot of TV nowadays - seriously a lot. I also try to read as much as I can. Recently finished Waiting for the Barbarians, Devil in a White City, the Harry Potter series, The Red Pyramid, Angela's Ashes, Anne of Green Gables Series, The Hunger Games, The Secret School, and a few others. It's a mixture of adult reading material and 5th grade reading material. Reading feeds my soul, it gives me energy, and I couldn't imagine my life without it. Three cheers for books!
- Jon. Oh Jon Jon Jon. I know in my last post (4 months ago), it seemed like we were on the rocks, but that's only because I'm an emotional basket case. (It's true, I'm very willing to admit it.) But alas, we are wonderful. He is my best friend, my confidant, my lover, my shoulder to cry on, my secret keeper, my comforter, my laugh maker, my stability. I have no clue what I would do without him. He even puts up with my family, which I could never thank him enough for. A guy that doesn't mind my family, hugs me when I cry, makes me laugh, loves to cook, and is mind-blowing-ly awesome in the sack? Yes please! 2 and a half years later, and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.
- And last, but definitely not the least important, I've finally been able to orgasm. So I guess amidst all of the depression over not getting a job this school year, at least I had something to smile about :)
