I find it odd that...

...the days fly but the weeks drag on forever, how does that work?

...my TV remote doesn't work. This is also completely annoying.

...I haven't gotten more upset since being back yet. I thought for sure it would happen. So far so good.

...I like being alone. No roommate for 3 days and I'm perfectly content.

...I like onions. I have never liked them and lately I cannot get enough.

...I ordered something completely out of my element at Frickers last night and LOVED it.

...I'm old enough to have conversations of marriage, kids, vehicles, bills, and life plans.

Oh Happy Day

I'm so excited to actually get to start teaching and get to start just being busy in the classroom. These first few days have been nice to get to know Karen and get to know the kids one on one, but it is SOOO boring. There is so much down time and nothing to do in it. Usually we stand at the windows and watch the kids at recess. It's been nice, but I'm ready to get the show on the road. One more boring day then we can finally start having some fun. Other things have been on my mind as well and have had me upset and frustrated, but I've decided to just take it all as it comes. I'm doing everything that I can. Other people need to take responsibility too.

My senior year of college is already underway and I still cannot believe that this is the end. As much as I hate to admit it, I do enjoy living here in Bluffton and being with friends. I think that this year is going to be the best because I feel like I have a little more privacy living in Nuefeld. Last night I got to catch up with a fellow classmate who is living on my floor and it really helped me to settle in. We have been through a lot together here at Bluffton and I'm positive that there is more to go through this semester. We are each others support system when things get sticky and I know I can always look to her to help relieve stress. I also got to chat with my fabulous boyfriend for quite a while late last night and I too am more comfortable now in that aspect. All in all I think that this semester is going to go much better than I originally thought. I just needed to get settled in.

Day stopping moment...

...America's Next Top Model Marathon on VH1.

I planned for today to be overly productive, but I now foresee myself laying in bed all day :)

Where the time goes.

I'm not sure where the past week has gone, but it sure has been hectic. I'm starting to become stressed already and I'm still on summer break :/ The top stresses are:

• Chuck's in Washington I'm still in Ohio...all in all a sucky situation.
• I have 42 kindergartners this semester..that's a lot of names to learn and a lot of pressure to do well.
• Spanish online. I was told we could use our books again....apparently that was all a lie. Good thing I'm NOT living near the school now and it's already in progress.
• Money. I didn't save at all this summer. That was bad. Now I have a good month almost before I get another check...yikes!
• Packing...normally this doesn't bother me, but last year i was completely unorganized leaving this year to start off a hectic mess.
• Arranging our room...again completely pathetic, but it's driving me insane because I'm just not sure how it's going to work and I know it's going to be heavy and I don't want my bed up in the air.

Best Friends

There are two types of friends in life. The first kind are the type that you enjoy spending time with and wish to see from time to time, but can go on with life without out them for a while. Usually you just stay friends because you have a common connection and see each other from time to time and they make you laugh, so you are deemed friends.

On the other hand there are best friends. These people know you inside and out. They know how you will respond before they even ask a question and they know all of the oddities of your life. This in return makes you unguarded and able to completely be yourself. The amazing part of having a best friend is that you can not see them for such a long period of time and when you do finally see them again it feels like you haven't even skipped a beat. I've known this to be true in the past because of going to college and things of that nature, but this week has completely proved it over and over again.

Shoes

I have this weird struggle with shoes because I love them, so I have far too many pairs. And then it comes time to pack and go somewhere and I KNOW I have to choose only a couple of pairs, but I start thinking do I plan my outfits to match the shoes I want to wear or do I pack shoes that I need to wear for the outfits that I want to wear. Confusing. Yes. Ridiculous. Absolutely. But I just can't decide what shoes I'm going to need out there and then when I think about what I want to wear I have to rethink what shoes would look OK with it. Ideally I'd end up taking about 5 pairs of shoes. I'm trying to limit it to 2-3.

Completely Ridiculous but incredibly annoying at the same time.

Another week comes to an end.

This week seems to have flown by incredibly quick.

CHEER: For having my concerns completely lifted and feeling normal again.

JEER: For having my last day of work with Julie today. It's been 5 fun years. That's for sure.

CHEER: For enjoying our last day together and pranking her pretty good. :)

CHEER: Having the beginning of the week off and spending time with people I don't normally get to.

CHEER: For only having 4 days until Washington!!!

I find it odd that I hate to make decisions and I hate to be the one in charge of making plans, but I LOVE to know exactly what is going to be happening when and where. That makes no sense. One would think that if I wanted to know what was going to be happening I would just choose what happened, but I don't. Instead I have these mini series playing in my head trying to come up with all of the possible outcomes. I have a million lists stored in my head of everything that I need to do or would like to accomplish soon and I start predicting outfits to wear, how to do my hair. Sometimes it gets so bad that I start trying to predict the conversations. I'm not sure why I do it because it's never right and I've never stumbled upon anything great, and in all actuality I usually ended up feeling let down because I've worked myself up so high. Absolutely ridiculous.

But, in saying that I already know what I want to wear on Thursday, how i want my hair to turn out, how i want to pack my carry on bag, and how I think the greeting could go.(there are multiple options for this.) Why I do this. I will never know.
