I am happy.
- Living with Brian is awesome. I thought it would take a lot of time and energy for us to get used to each other, but that's really not the case at all. It took a lot of time and energy to move all of our shit in and get unpacked. After all of that nonsense, the emotional stuff was a piece of cake. We're also not smothering each other, which is nice. We're equally busy people, and we're both REALLY busy, so it feels good that I can stay out guilt-free...and when I'm the one home waiting, I'm not bitter. Just excited. Also, the hour commute actually zips by, and the cuddling makes everything worthwhile. He's a good cook, too :D
- I AM INFATUATED WITH THIS SCHOOL YEAR. By some miracle, I have small classes, ALL good kids (though some are annoying, none are the nasty, abusive thieves I had to deal with last year), and I've got new responsibilities that feel really good. I am the SGA adviser this year, which I am getting more psyched about all the time. I have a lot of enthusiastic kids, and one thing White Oak lacks is the extra fun stuff. I feel like I actually have the power to bring that back to the kids, and that makes me feel good. Also, we'll get to do really cliche but important things like feed the hungry and go adopt seniors, and I like it. A lot.
- The FL students at White Oak are invited to come to Costa Rica during Spring Break, 2010. Guess who's the first chaperone (and the one most likely to go for free)... if you're seething with jealousy, then you guessed right. Also, Amy is insisting that (assuming we had enough kids go), Brian should be the next person that gets to go for free. Can I get a hell yes??
- Somehow, I've been lucky in that I rarely feel overwhelmed. As always, there is infinite work to do, but I feel like I always have a grip on the essentials...and it somehow makes everything else seem not so bad.
It's way past my bedtime. <3.
