now that i actually have time ... i will update

the past few weeks have been hectic. teaching has been going well. i've been trying to balance teaching with my social life. its hard to say no to people just because you have stupid lesson plans to do or because you know you have a rough week coming up with meetings and such and you want to get ahead on your work. i hate that i'm so anal retentive about my work but i guess its a good thing that i'm organized and 'on the ball.'

this past saturday night i had one of the most craziest drinking nightsof my life lately i've been dd because of my stomach problems. so i would go out and have a few beers and that would be my night. but last sat night a bunch of us got together for a 'reunion' type night and of course i had to 'live it up and drink it down.' we took things to the extreme. i got so wasted that i actually got kicked out of the bar for causing too much attention ... lol. although i really don't remember them throwing me out i had to find out two days later that i got kicked out. oh well ... if you don't remember it never happened. but seriously such a crazy night i can't even begin to explain the shit that went down ... good times! 'no harm no foul'

last night i went to the flyers game. sat in row 1 ... very exciting. philly fans are crazy. one minute they are booing, the next cheering, then calling the refs a**holes, then cheering again! so funny. on sunday i'm going to the eagles game with a few of my friends. i know they suck but i'm excited to go talgating and drink at the game. i finally get to show off my green and white boa hat! its very festive for the game. so watch out! ... i love free tix

to just verify my last entry: i've been better about looking into the past and judging myself and others. its just hard because of all thats happened and how far i've come from it. i can't help but look back and re-evaluate my decisions and actions. i'm accepting it more and more because i can't change it. i can only make things better now. so that is something i will always be working on. thanks for the advice!

anyways thats all i can think about to fill you in on. my life is going well. things are working out just fine. i'm actually happy and content with my life right now

time for an update

okay since its been a while i'll go backwards and see how much i can remember.

yesterday i was at school from 7am til 10pm. there was the annual variety show that my school puts on so i decided to stay and see it. since i live pretty far i decided that it wasn't worth driving back and forth so i stayed and got some work done, went to dinner and did some shopping. of course my goal was to start my christmas shopping but winded up buying myself presents ... oops! then today i went to the king of prussia mall with my momma. i picked out a cute tiffany's bracelet that i absolutely love. of course since i'm a brat my mom got it for me and will give it to me for christmas. i also got some really cute clothes at new york and company. saved a lot of money with their sale and my coupons. then i bought my brother a christmas gift and part of my mom's. so there ... i wasn't stingy with my purchases today.

these past few weeks at school have been crazy. i'm definitely looking forward to my 4 day weekend. on wed night a bunch of us are going out to see mr. greengenes. i'm very excited for that then for thanksgiving i'm going to my g-mom's and friday we are all going out to a nice dinner to celebrate my parents 25th aniversary. then hopefully sat i will make plans with wes and then sunday i will meet up with caren and bret for lunch.

last weekend was crazy. amy, laura, stacy, bj, pistine and myself all went out in west chester. i tried to get amy, laura and stacy to talk and flirt with guys. its was funny to see them in action once they got drunk. we all had a good night despite the random guy throwing up in the west chester diner when we were all done eating. lol ... only this would happen to us. then sat i spent the day with wes. we went to the cheap movie theatre and saw the 40 year old virgin. sat evening ... def awesome! (a million bizzilion) then sat night i drove home to go out to old city with pistine. i was her wingman that night but i was glad i went out. i love hangin out with the guys we met up with. two of their friends had penthouses in philly so it was awesome to actually see the view of the entire city 18 stories high. i got offered flyers and eagles tickets from kevin. so i am definitely taking him up on that offer. i'm excited to keep trying new things.

other than that i guess nothing too exciting. i'm happy right now. so yeah!

okay, so i know everyone is entitled to their own opinion but it bugs me when people give their opinion with a bad attitude. i mean i know sometimes you can feel strongly about a certain topic, but when you're an adult you need to learn how to voice your opinion in a respectful manner.

so today we had an inservice day and we talked a lot about our math curriculum at the middle school and high school and the leveling of our students. i just felt as though we were all attacking each others opinions and not making any progress. i thought the point of the meeting was to come to an understanding of what the students are taught at the middle school in comparision to what they need to know by the time they get to high school. but i don't feel as though we accomplished that. the big argument was leveling students into different math classes and deciding on the math concepts that are important to know before a student enters high school. after leaving the meeting i felt frustrated because of course everyone is going to have their "perfect solution" to the problems and point out all of the negative things is someone elses "perfect solution."

all in all, it just annoyed me how a group of adults acted and couldn't compremise. i felt as though the older teachers would always shut down the new teachers suggestions without even hearing them out all the way. i got the feeling that they felt as though their way was the best because they've experienced more and they know more because they've taught longer. ... well big deal!!! i think its always good to try something new. so what if it doesn't work . stop going around in circles and coming across the same problems year after year after year.

... UGHHHHH!!!!

i just had to get my frustrations out!!! sorry if you actually read all of this. this entry was really just for me to vent since not a lot of people actually understand what goes on during inservice days. as a students you just have off ... but as a teacher there is a lot more to it.

ughhhh!!! so this is now my sixth day being all sickly. it sucks big time. i have absolutely NO energy to do anything! for example, on friday i cleaned my room and washed the sheets on my bed to get rid of germs. well as soon as i was done i took a two hour nap. then yesterday i finally got out of the house and went into town for a walk since it was such a nice day. me and the sis picked out some cute body jewelry and got some ice cream. but as soon as i got home, again i took a two hour nap. what is wrong with me? i can't do anything without being extremely exhausted when i am done.

on the plus side i learned that my friends are the bestest. bj made me some homemade soup and brought it to me on thursday. a few of my guy friends called me and told me how much they missed me hanging out this weekend. they told me that it wasn't the same since i wasn't there to brighten up their night and do something crazy to make them laugh ... then my girls had a movie night last night in hopes i could join them but unfortunatley i was too sick and exhausted that i just went to bed at 10 but it was still a nice gesture.

p.s. my new body jewelry is AMAZING

10 years ago: i was 13 and in the eighth grade. girls were very bitchy at that age so i had a lot of guy friends. i was involved in just about every sport and activity that was offered.

5 years ago: i was 18 and in my freshman year at millersville. i was hating the dorm life and looking back i wish i tried out for the volleyball team to keep me busy.

1 year ago: i was 22 and a first year teacher. i remember doing a lot of work to prepare for my lessons. i'm so glad planning got easier my second year.

YESTERDAY: i taught all day. amy came over for our weekly dates. we had our usual talks. i talked to bj on my way home from work and i tried to make plans with danni for halloween.

5 snacks i enjoy: chips and dip, peanut m&m's, movie theatre popcorn, cheddar munchies, wheat thins dipped in cream cheese

5 songs i know all the words to: i know all the songs on my random mix o'cd's ... and trust me ... they are random. anything from disney sougs to rap songs. hehehehe

5 things i would do with a million dollars: buy myself a house so i wouldn't have to live with my parents anymore, pay off my car, pay off my student loans, give money to my g-parents and parents so that they could retire, and give money to close friends who have always been there for me.

5 places i would runaway to: australia, hawaii, california, any island resort, and any other tropical place that would keep me warm.

5 bad habits: i wouldn't call them bad habits because they are the habits that define me as a person. though they may be annoying to some, you will learn to accept them if you really like me

5 things that make me happy: fridays at 3pm when i know i have to whole weekend ahead of me, having paid summers off, waking up christmas morning knowing you will give and recieve lots of presents that day, dancing and kicking back on the weekends, knowing that the people you love love you back!

okay so lots going on in my life right now. my home life has gotten a little better over the past week. still not 100% better but hey i'll take what i can get!

i have lots of things to do this weekend so i decided to stay in on friday night so that i can get it all done shocking i know! i haven't stayed in on a weekend in what seems like forever. so i guess i will see how i handle missing out on the social scene.

things i need to do this weekend: lots of lesson plans (i want to get ahead and plan out the rest of the month), clean and rearrange my room, get all of my laundry done, organize my closet (i have too many clothes that i don't even wear), get my car an oil change, wash and clean out my car and whatever else i can fit in.

saturday night i am headed to kutztown to visit my sister!!! i am so excited to visit and hang out. she is taking me to some liquor party that her softball team is hosting. i feel kinda weird going back to a college party at 23 (with a grown up job) but oh well. i guess i will suck it up.

just when i started to think that everything in my life was starting make sense, things at home take an unexpected turn ...

my stupid parents are at it again. they are always arguing and talking about getting a divorce. and usually i try to ignore them but they are worse then usual the past few days. i don't understand how they could be married for 25 years and then all of a sudden call it quits. i just don't get it. i also hate that i am always stuck in the middle of it all since i am living at home. ugghhh!!! don't get me wrong, they don't ALWAYS fight, but lately they've been fighting and talking about separating at least twice a week. is this normal? do other people's parents do this too or is it just mine?

... i just want everyone and everything to just be normal (however you define normal)

onto some good news, my students are just the cutest. the ones i taught last year are always visiting me and saying how much they miss me (so cute) it really means a lot after a long day at school with some of my troubled-some students to know that i've gotten through to some people and they appreciate all that i've done for them. also on friday, one of the reading teachers told me that she asked her students to write in their journal: who was their favorite teacher and why? and guess what?!?! i got the most votes who would have thunk it? it really meant a lot to me that eventhough i can't make a difference in EVERY students life, i made a difference in a few. so i at least know that all of the hard work i put into teaching is worth it in the long run .. sometimes it is just hard to see in the midst of all the craziness that goes on during school hours.

i so need to vent right now. i just found out that an ex-boyfriend/ex-hookup/ex-friends with benefits (whatever you wanna call him) has crossed the line. so i've been talking to another guy for the past two months now. we are getting along great. we have so much in common. and never run out of things to talk about. so recently, this guy stopped returning my calls, texts, ims for no reason. he just didn't respond or responded by telling me he was busy and would call me later but never did. so i new something was up. but i just couldn't figure it out cause i knew i did nothing wrong. turns out my ex-boy ran into him and told him to stay away from me. he started spreading rumors and talking shit on me. what a psycho!!! my ex-boy has no reason to do this. i haven't talked to him in a few weeks and before i stopped talking to him we didn't really end on a bad note ... we kinda just ended. so i don't understand where this shit was coming from.

so now i don't know if i should call my ex-boy and see why he did this or just be the bigger person and let it go. i already talked to my new boy about the situation and he was very understanding. just a little taken back by the situation. but whatevef if he really likes me like he says he does, he'll get over it quickly. i just wonder if my ex-boy has been talking shit on me to other people to. that is why part of me wants to confront him about the situation and find out what i did to cause him to do what he did.

any comments or suggestions on this drama let me know
