Thanks to whoever reinstated my account You are a rockstar!

Quick update, did actually get off my butt and move to Austin. I adore it here. Rockin out with my band when possible...working on our first CD, hoping to play SXSW next year, we'll see. Teaching special ed kids in a neighboring suburb...still looking for a classroom position, though. Singing in the choir...in a trio...

Time for my yearly update I'm so horrible at keeping up with blogs...

So a lot has changed in the past 9 months. One, I'm FINALLY done with my demon children. I do have to admit I miss the IDEA of them now, though. You know...having the kids around. Being "teacher". But I don't miss THOSE kids at all. God. What a year. I ended...

SG, I owe you an update.
So. I sit here eating honey bunches of oats thinking of what important something I could put down here...and realize that most of the imporant somethings aren't so important when thought about twice. But, I'll write them anyways and let you be the judge.
My number one most important something. Birthdays. Yay for them! I am now just past...

And suddenly she emerges from the depths of life....

What's up kids? I decided it's time for a bit of an update considering the millions of life changing incidents since...what? February. Geez. In chronological order...

April, 2006...a lively month. I regretfully moved back to the states from Ireland. (More on the "regretfully" part of that later...*see November 2006*.) At this point, I moved in with...

So this is the one entry I actually am able to make...from a first grade classroom. I know. It's wrong in so many ways. But this is only place I have to use internet...dial up internet. Unfortunatly backwoods Ireland has not caught up to the rest of the world. However, broadband is in process so it's cool enough.
In short, Ireland is beautiful and the...

Well, this is it, people. Apartment is all packed and being checked out tommorrow at 1pm. Guinea pig has a safe home and will be justly spoiled. Couch is being taken by random neighbor who decided to keep it instead of help me move it to the thrift store. Car has just enough gas to never have to be refilled by me for the next...

...and the boxes begin to pile up. This is crazy. I can't believe I am only weeks away from Ireland! It's entirely bittersweet, though. This will be my last college apartment. And my last college memories will be made in these last couple weeks. I'm starting to have more faith in the idea of a decent life outside of college but it's still intimidating. Anyways......

Today was the last day I got to see my students

I brought them all books for Christmas. It took me about 6 hours to get all of those freaking books found. I'm too much of a perfectionist. I wanted all 21 books to be perfect. You know...a truck book for the special ed kid who's obsessed with trucks (you should have seen his face...totally...

December 12th:
Tshirt, jeans, flip flops, windows down on the way home...

I never get sick of this.

Enter: Walmart, 8pm. A scary, unforgiving mass of humanity walks, runs, skips, or otherwise mobilizes themselves down isles torn apart by the latest apocolypse called "dinner hour". I have talked myself into being brave enough to enter for the sake of dirty guinnea pig cages and a lack of "thank you" card needed by tommorrow. It physically pains me to walk into Walmart most days....
