This school year is proving even busier than last year’s, a feat I never thought possible. Matt is swamped with his classes, labs, and work, and we’re both feeling the intense pressure of having to go through the application process to get him into a PT school. Meanwhile, I’m continuing to have to juggle my more-than-full-time …
All It Took Was a Pail of Peaches
I have made an unspoken resolve this school year to be more positive about my job–to not nitpick at the irksome annoyances that come with teaching 12- and 13-year-olds and to not dwell only on the negative aspects of each school day. Considering that the last hour of my work day is by far my most challenging and obnoxious …
The Top 5 Ways to Spoil Your Run
(semi-unrelated running posters via Runners World) Even though my running commitment (and distances) aren’t quite as stellar as they were over the summer, I’ve still been managing to squeeze in some 2-3 mile runs two to three days a week when I get home from work. During the summer, I always did my runs in …
Tuesday Tell-All
A few things on my mind: 1. My hair is at the perfect length for me, which means (of course) that I’m due for another haircut. 2. My husband took the GRE today, and it’s starting to make our future a little more real. We’ve been spending our weekends researching schools and weighing options and …
Are You a Fan of Showers?
There are many points on which I feel like I’ve never lined up with what a “normal girl” should like: I thought planning my wedding was basically no fun at all, I like my steaks super bloody (almost rare) and of the extra-large variety, and I put off shopping for new shoes as long as …
The Current State of my Mind
I had three different post ideas for tonight (depending on my mood), and considering that I just got home around 8 PM, I’m in no mind for any of them. My mind has been buzzing with strange images that look much like the one above–visions of students yapping and jumping and shrieking and laughing and …
August Reading
My plans to read at least five books a month in the summer crashed and burned there at the end—between being away from home half the month and starting up school again, I just didn’t have nearly as much time as I thought I would to read. That said, I am pretty proud of the …
Tuesday Tell-All
*It’s a good thing I finally learned (mostly, anyway) to just embrace my pale skin because as you can tell, these legs look like they didn’t see much sun all summer. And you basically have to squint at the other two pictures in this post to see some of my limbs—my arms and legs seem to blend …
