Why everything is behind/late this week:
1. I spend 9 hours a day focused on 22 seven-year-olds. They are incredibly needy. I spend all day not only teaching, but constantly brainstorming on how I can get concepts cemented into their little minds. I do A LOT of teaching off the cuff. I'm now proud to say that "context clues" and "schema" are part of their vocabulary. 2nd grade is alllllll repetition and I leave school each day with a slightly sore throat.
I forget where this came from, but I love that middle sentence there. Describes me perfectly.
2. Which leads me to… One of the reasons I didn't get to swap-partner-matching until late Wednesday night was because I was taking a night class on Tuesday. Every Tuesday until the end of time, I have a 3 hour night class. Okay, until March.
3. Which leads to…utter failure. I've had 2 frappuccinos this week (purchased with a gift card, but still). I don't know how I'm supposed to get through a 3 hour night class without one, guys. I just don't know. I'm not supposed to be blowing money at Starbucks this month. Oh well. Back on the wagon I go.
4. Which leads to…one-third of K-Cubed (Kayla, Kristin, Kristin) is moving away.
So I had to spend an evening saying good-bye. This is one of the hard parts of army life. The three of us will always remember how we became acquainted at a meet-and-greet and bonded at an organic make-up party over a disinterest in GMOs. I still have the $18 purple eyeshadow, and I've still only used it once.
Now we're K-squared :(
We'll miss you Kayla!
5. Which leads to Thursday…I had an appointment to have another cyst removed from behind my ear. Uh huh. I know.
6. This leads to…I haven't seen this week's Justified OR this week's Downton Abbey.
My parents watch Justified (which is possibly the only show we have in common…they started it before I did). When my mom said, "Oh, Justified is on tonight", I said, "That's right…I like Timothy Olyphant." She said, "Kristin, everyone like Timothy Olyphant". I told Scott, and he said something along the lines of "Yeah….I watch for Timothy Olyphant."
Last season in a nutshell
Also, Boyd.
So. Yeah.
Me too, buddy.
*I got Scott a necklace for Christmas. The chain broke within a week. She's trying to "help me out". I'm bored with the whole thing and I don't feel like sending them any more money.
