lazy hazy crazy days of summer
FINALLY.
I have not had a lazy Summer in years (since I was 17).
And I would most certainly get bored of this if it was to last the whole 3 months. But with just a few weeks to go, I am so glad to be able to relax. I’ve been sleeping in till 11 (haven’t gotten to do this for several consecutive days in a long time), which means I’ve been staying up till 1 or 2 (yes, I’m a grandma), I found a new absolute favorite coffee shop (walking distance to my apartment),
and I resubscribed to the blogs I previously unsubscribed from (shut up).

tonight, on a whim, i googled “teaching creative writing” to begin the long trek of planning my curriculum. but i got scared, so… tomorrow i will start preparing myself. i absolutely cannot wait to go school supply shopping… for hundreds of students. i love school supply shopping, so this will be like new school year shopping on crack.
july was one of the busiest/most wonderful months ever.
houston
disneyworld
dods/jenks wedding
and i guess now it is time to REST and PREPARE.
Things I Learned This Week:
-I have internet on my phone
-Teaxs is rather GREEN and beautiful
-I will be teaching 9th grade creative writing and reading at AnImo Watts #2 High School this upcoming year. Thank you Jesus!
and yet
I still can’t seem to shake that feeling.
Confession: I’ve recently been exerting a lot of energy on trying to convince myself to get excited over everything.
summer lovin
I love people and all of the excitement of the past/next few weeks, but sometimes it’s good to just catch a breath and a moment to myself. Though my moment came unexpectedly, I am more than happy to be enjoying some time at It’s a Grind in Diamond Bar…
Deep breath, and….
tonight: dinner w/ andrew’s family (diamond bar)
tomorrow: making breakfast for my parents at new apartment (palms), 2 bbqs in the afternoon/evening (ktown and db)
sunday: church (lb), bbq (lb), bridesmaid duties, work (westwood)
monday: 12 hours of work (westwood)
tuesday: lesson planning, small group (long beach)
wednesday: interview and teach session (watts), packing, work (westwood)
thursday: houston!
So yeah… gasoline+mileage and a lot of work, Houston for the weekend, Disneyworld for the following week, bachelorette party, back for half a week, and then off to norcal for the wedding, then back to say goodbye to some of my favorite people as they head off to Cambodia till mid-august!
I don’t know where I got the idea that my summer would be empty and boring.
