Things went from mildly shitty, to intensely more shitty, to angry shitty, to pretty okay in about 36 hours or less. All problems solved, one ex eradicated, and a whole new outlook established. Life is so great when you have a good head on your shoulders.
I guess that’s the power of love. And a body ache sickness beginning to wear off. Note to self: don’t drink when you’re...

Heat.
Why must housing services turn up the heat to 90 degrees? Is that really necessary?

Health Class
So in health class the other day, my teacher seriously got me thinking, “Maybe we should save sex for marriage.”
Then I thought, fooey, that’s foolish. A couple should definitely have sex before marriage to see what kind of people they’re compatible with and to figure themselves out sexually. But then I started thinking, maybe you should wait until you find the person you...

I’m starting to get really sick of people and their bullshit. You can only so much shit in a 10 pound bag.

Friday?
I am absolutely celebrating the weekend early today.
I did a whole lot of nothing and I plan to do a whole lot of nothing all day long.

Dumb Bitch
Today I was really excited, I was going to meet my Elementary cooperating teacher. Everything was planned out, I went to bed early. I was ready.
I got up on time this morning, made oatmeal, got ready, dressed nice. I made the 1 hour commute in rush hour to Clark/Division, where my school was supposed to be. I was nervous I was going to get lost because I’d never been in that part of the...

I just realized how hard it’s going to be to get dressed for the next 15 weeks or so.

Tomorrow I’m observing at the school I’m going to be student teaching at. So exciting but a little nerve wracking. But I’ve already been there so it should be a cool day. Observing is just one of the most awkward things in my life. And I don’t think I’ll be able to muscle up the testicular fortitude to call my teacher my his first name. So weird.
In other news, I...
I don’t appreciate strange elevator conversation. Ever. Especially when you’re following me into the elevator to tell me how much you like my piercings. You fucking weirdo, back off.

So much for practicing all day...
So I only got an hour of piano practice in today because I’m an idiot and forget when the school opens and closes. I have a deadline. January 24th at 2:30. Part Readings and Harmonizations. Yeah, I gotta hit it hard tomorrow.
Also, there’s this terribly large instrument in my locker. I think it’s lost its way because it does not belong anywhere near me. At all. Ever....

The Problem with Lesson Plans - Teacher in a... →
breatheinsolitude:
Very interesting. Because I’m asked a lot for lesson plans and what plans do I use for my activities…. or what activities do I favor out of activity guides I use…. and how do I string activities together.
When I have time, I put it back on them: what do they want to teach? What points do they want to get across? And then I work with them to pull out some of the activities to...
Oats
Oatmeal is like a food brick in your stomach that forces you to not be hungry for at least 6 hours. I have the best “recipe” to make it taste less like slime and more like food.
Peanut Butter
Banana
Dried Cranberries
Brown Sugar
Yes, its true. And its phenom. Try it.
Chicago
I’m starting to think I’ve been in this city way too long. It’s time to get out of here.
Let me be a girl for 2 minutes.
Working out us one of the greatest feelings you could ever get. I am starting to get discouraged though. I’ve been going at it ever day for about 2 weeks now and I don’t feel like I’m making any progress. Sure I feel stronger but I don’t feel any thinner and I’m really getting down on my body. I hate the pressure to be perfect but I just want to be healthy. I’m...
It’s amazing how much my life has improved the less time I spend at school. I have prospective job opportunity, I have amazing friends to spend time with, and all I do is smile and laugh. The only thing I have to stress about is reteaching myself all of the instruments. Oh no… like that’s not fun at all. I have the best job ever and if that’s what I have to be stressed...
