September's Almost Gone

Well, I'm happy to say that I have almost made it through September. A whole month of teaching already done. The first trimester is always the hardest for me. In many ways I'm lucky. Once I've figured out the first trimester and what my curriculum is, the other two trimesters are just a repeat of the same. Most classroom teachers have to keep teaching new things all year. Of course, I do have 6 grade levels. Probably all come out about the same in the wash.

It's been over a year since I've truly dated anyone. Keep putting myself out there. Still mostly wonder if I just haven't met the right guy yet. Not like my standards are crazy high. I just want to really like the way I feel when I'm around the person. Not really much more to it than that. Still waiting and remaining open to the possibilities.

Meanwhile the weather is changing. Feels dreary and makes everyone want to curl up indoors. I'm going to see a play alone tonight. Somehow also seems appropriate for the weather. Better go get dressed and looking presentable.

I'll leave you with a song for the weather.

New Year's Resolution Achieved

My New Year's Resolution was to write 50 blog posts over the course of the year. I knew it would be good for me to process my life by writing my thoughts down a bit more often.

I made it, at the beginning of September nonetheless. This is my 50th post. Has it done me good? I think so. I still have no idea if anyone really reads it and I think I like it that way. I censor myself less.

This morning is the start of my last official day of summer. I'm going in to school to work of setting up my classroom all day. It's been a hard place to be lately. You know what gets me through those days? Music.

This morning I had a reminder of how much I love this song. Very excited to see them on September 21st. It's funny, I bought 2 tickets and I still just have no idea who I will take with me or if anyone really wants to go. Oh well. Here it is.
