Progress!

Woo!  Day 10 of 300x30 and I'm feeling awesome, and yesterday Tristan and I settled on a church and a date!  The wedding is officially officially happening!  Can't wait for June 29th, 2013. <3

In other news, I really need to start posting some of what the kids I work with say.  For example:
Student: Miss Lisa, what's "the bush"?
Me: In what context?
Student: Like, if someone said "I'm going to punch you in the bush."
Me: @_@

I seriously had a minor heart attack trying to figure out how to reply to that.

Well, gotta go pack a lunch and head off to the monsters for the day!

Hola, long time no see. Apparently, this is going to be the semester that kills me. Despite the fact that I'm right on schedule for completing my senior show, I feel like I'm behind schedule. I have a solid three-day block with pretty much zero time for homework, meaning I need to complete all homework over the weekend and try to keep it straight for the next week. I'm about to start student teaching on Wednesdays in a room full of gradeschoolers who are probably aware of how much they intimidate me. I'm planning my wedding (btw, we're engaged!). I'm coordinating my singing group's spring festival. I haven't completely given up on my dream of continuing to have at least a meager social life (read as: dancing probably once a month and having the freedom to watch a movie with a friend on occasion or have my roommate kick my ass at Mario Kart). I'm not asking much, life. Just let me stay sane through May and it'll all work out. (Right? Right.)

On an unrelated note, huzzah! I've been vegan a year now and still going strong. Here's a fantastic (and short, 12 minute-ish) video about the social and environmental impact of a vegan lifestyle.

Love yo faces (and yes, I watch too much PhillyD).

You know what's great about having internet in your house that works? Not having to listen to the kid next to you in the library who doesn't realize that his music is way too freaking loud and that we can all hear it. Also, desktop computers have weird keyboards. Thankfully, we'll be getting real internet installed this week and we can stop using a server that takes 45 minutes to load a single page. Yeah, that's how dedicated I am to this blog (and/or the reason I've only updated, what, 10 times in a month?).

The wedding went really well this weekend! I was afraid that I'd be way too bitter to totally enjoy myself, but I managed to get past my neurosis and have a good time and everything was beautiful and the rest of the weekend at home was great, too.

All right, I'd love to be continuing this post now that I actually can with internet that doesn't suck, but I have work to do and should actually do it. Maybe I'll get back to this later. Ciao!
