People, people, people. I hear your clamouring. (Insert cricket sounds here.) I know that you’ve missed me, and my wonderful rantings. I would like to make it official:
I’m back.
Not in a Michael-Jordan-post-baseball-now-back-to-winning-championships-back, but back in the sense that ebjournalling may finally resume maintenance status, instead of dormancy. The last few weeks, while not completely hellacious, have been extremely busy.
To date (and eventually to be expounded upon):
I’ve been to two concerts, one Halloween party, and one memorial service, and this in the last 7 days. Did I mention I wrote my mock proposal for my thesis? Though only 9 pages, it was a different style of writing. I’m not pleased at all with how it sounds, so it will take a lot of work. If you’re really interested, you can read about it on the faux-portfolio page. Thankfully, I have a few weeks off from literacy/theory classes— the next class is technology. And then it’s Happy Harry Potter Thanksgiving! My favorite Eating Holiday (EH) However, now I have progress reports (AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!) and p-t conferences coming. Conferences are very challenging in the elementary setting because, I’M RESPONSIBLE FOR ALMOST EVERY SINGLE THING THEY LEARN ABOUT. We call that pressure, people. The kids may be seven, but they’re parents aren’t. So, that’s coming.
So, a lot is going on. Some tidbits until I can write coherently, and remember to use less formal speech:
Ben Folds is back. You may remember that he disappeared for a little while, but with his new band, he can play a wider variety of his repetoire. TLEMK and I enjoyed it a lot, and I would even consider staying out again ’til 1:00 a.m. on a mother-truckin'’ school night.
Guster: Short, but oh so good.
Picture me in curlers, Spongebob slippers, and TLEMK’s robe, carrying a teddy bear and a blanket. Oh yes, I wore that. And yes, there are pictures.
I went to a beautiful memorial service on Tuesday. It reaffirmed my faith in the human spirit.
So much to write about, but so tired. Going to OSU this weekend to watch the Illini get pounded, but then on to Uncle Len and Aunt Julie’s for some needed R & R.
More to come. I miss you, Internet. Until we meet again!
