sorry it's been a while, you see, i'm trying to graduate college.
my last day teaching was yesterday, kind of. i'm having trouble giving my kids up (surprise!)
my last day at south is next wednesday, and oh how the tears will fall.
this is all so funny now when i think to how close i was to dropping out only a month or so ago. i don't know what clicked, if i finally caught on to teaching and found my rhythm, or if i just got rid of seventh period and picked up another class and that is what helped, but whatever it is, it has not only allowed me to finish the semester but allowed me to finish well.
thesis = done. i'll let you read it if you're looking for a super boring read with a lot of fun graphs on it. - it's on writing in the foreign language classroom -- student products versus assessment expectations. basically, the most exciting thing you'll ever see. ever.
no news from spain yet, but i'm not too worried about it. it's hard to be worried about anything when you're about to graduate :)
party at teddy and nora's soon - it'll be a blast, even if no one shows up. family is family is family, and i love that.
i've begun my booklist for this summer - 10 is my goal again. the hardest part isn't even reading the 10 books, it's picking only 10 to try and read. jm - feel free to hit me up with a list you think i should read - i've already got some picked out. but am not sure what to read as far as non-fiction goes.
-jonathan strange and mr norrell
-leaves of grass (again! i just like it)
-practicing the presence of God.

i've got a ton of others on the list - i'm trying to narrow it down.

mikey is moving home next week - praise be!! i'm so freaking excited to be in the same state as that boy. he's one of my absolute favorite people, as well as one of the silliest.

i've got 3 minutes to get ready before i need to go. also, i think you should know i've been "brushing my teeth" while i've been typing this. my mouth is starting to hurt. haha

also, please come to my graduation party!
