The more things change, the more they stay the same sometimes. Case in point: JP sent me a friend request on Facebook, followed quickly by an instant message. After a couple days of talking, I have been unfriended and blocked. No fight. No awkward moments. Just gone. After 15 years, it would stand to reason that I expect that kind of thing from him, but it still surprised me this time. People are weird.
We had our annual trip to Walnut last weekend. It was fun to wander and look at neat antiques. I picked up a Strawberry Shortcake cake pan and a pretty little vase. Josh and I took a trip to Morril Hall to look at mammoths and the like. It was a fun trip. Plus, we walked around the Haymarket and saw lots of fun shops :)
Conferences went really well, although not many of my parents showed up. I even had a conference at Burger King, which was unique! Then we had fall break today and yesterday. It was nice to have two days off. I did spend half of each day working on stuff, though. I have about an hour's worth of grading to do, too. But all in good time. The house was starting to look put together, but then Aunt Cathy dropped off more boxes. She is in town for an undetermined amount of time while she and Doug figure some things out. Things like that scare me with my own marriage.
Jason K. and I have talked for two days now. It's weird to go from HS friends, to nothing, to dating, to nothing, to friends years later. Plus, now he's living with a friend of a friend who I still also miss talking to. Brought up some sad feelings. Life has changed in some weird ways, that's for sure o.O
Ben sent us a package from Singapore. I was able to use those things to make 4 stations. The kids got to taste mooncakes, look at Chinese books, and take home a coin from Singapore. They were thrilled! We also had some major success with using grids and maps when they designed their own playgrounds. It was a lot of fun to be able to see their creative sides. We're already through the first quarter. I'm really happy with how things are going. Sometimes I feel like I'm struggling, but most of the time I feel like a teacher. As I'm grading Smart Goal progress papers, I see improvement and I feel proud :)
