unsad post

so since half of the point of this blog is to actually say what's going on, here's what's going on. my apologies for the utterly depressing state of the previous couple blogs.
1. i had a freaking blast in wyoming. beginning to end, amazing.
2. san diego is still up in the air, but i will fight to the death for it. i find out november 17th hopefully.
3. honors thesis is slowly strangling me but i'll be so glad to be done with it...if i ever am...done...with it.
4. i haven't had time to climb or swim in forever and it's driving me crazy - the worst part is i don't really see my load lightening up at all until christmas. boo.
5. i have found that because of my busy schedule, i know longer have time to be embarrased or worried about what people think of me. i think that's great.
6. i am absolutely loving ceramics right now. it may or may not be my saving grace. having 6 mandatory hours a week to play with clay... i mean, who wouldn't love that?
7. i would like to find a bible study. mine broke. or at least is taking a break.
8. bethy leaves soon, and i'm trying not to think about it because i don't really have time to cry and because she's not gone yet. i get to see her next weekend and that equals awesome.
9. teddy and nora and drew and elise this weekend. my favorites. ever. - hopefully we can pick up where we left off in the wizard of oz - drew was getting pretty into it and elise just likes to find pictures of dorothy :)
10. listening to "everything is illuminated" in my car. i've already read it but i wanted to hear it. i wish i could drive more places. need any errands run? no...seriously.
11. met with the man in charge of a teaching job in spain - he says i'm pretty much in. starts in september, and i could probably live in or close to bilbao. go team.
12. i am strongly considering the option of traveling to india for six weeks this summer. and my strongly considering i mean i would freaking love to and will do anything i can to make it happen.
13. i'm healthy minus freaky remicade side effects, which suck, but at least i'm not dead.
14. i was observing a sped class yesterday and they were talking about "if i were president.." and the teacher was explaining the tax break and asking students what they would do with a couple extra thousand dollars. the answer? build a secret passageway. duh. what else is there to do?! this is why i want to teach.
15. kaitlin and i had one of the best conversations ever and i can only remember bits and pieces of it - but i wish i'd written it down. speaking of which, skoops, your letter is coming, i promise... i'm just...underwater right now.... haha
hope this helps, ma
