There's been some stubborn numbers:
190 and 175 stick out pretty strongly, but:
nothing has been more frustrating than 155.
Good grief.

As in either:
a] I’m sleeping walking at night and bumping into things,
b] I’m blatantly running into things and not remembering, or
c] I’m rotting like an old banana.
It’s getting serious. I’m starting to look like someone who has been on her knees too much. [pardon the sarcastic and inappropriate joke.]

Ouch, hamstrings! Ouch.
First and foremost, let me say: I slept peacefully until 10am today! [Teachers: Can I get an “amen!” — you know that’s big for a Saturday!] I dabbled in some breakfast and then ran to the gym to kick my ass around. Testing took over this week and I had slipped from the gym. It was nice to leave dripping sweat. Also: it gave me plenty of time to think. Thank goodness for gym...

Mandatory Staff Meeting tomorrow at 7:20am:
Uh, we all know what this means: we’re GETTING SCORES.
This means you’ve got 10 minutes before the bell rings to: scream, cry, whine, gasp, etc. [you know, or any combination of those options.]
Oh, the end of the year.

Tomorrow is Reading.
That’s my show, guys.
Four classes worth of mine struggling to stay awake through non-fiction passages about frogs. [I’m speculating here, incase you’re a spy from DPI. I have no inside info on the test.]
Fingers crossed and sleeping early [hopefully!]

Today was the 180th day of school:
This is where I realize that I’d be OUT if we were a traditional calender.
This is also where I really, really, really feel the extra 20 days we’re in for our extended year.
Friday, Monday, Testing, Testing, Testing, Testing, Remediation, Remediation, Remediation, Remediation, Re-testing, Re-testing, Re-testing, Re-testing, Field Day, Done. Le Sigh.

I guess it’s easy to simply say, ” … if things were different” — perhaps the challenge lies in changing the situation. It’s hard to tell if the situation warrants change when signals are mixed. Or, perhaps “mixed” is the wrong word. How...

Take 2, Death Cab for Cutie Tickets in PA:
So, I’m not really sure how to do this BUT I want to feel it out. A friend bought TWO Death Cab for Cutie tickets for the June 4th show at Trocadero Theater in Philadelphia PA. She bought them for roughly $300 [I’ve got a receipt and all that jazz]
The problem is I’m still in school then and I just can’t go to PA on a weekend while I’m trying to remediate for EOGs — not smart timing.
I’m...

Mid-Twenties Ramblings:
I’ve slowly adjusted to the news of people getting engaged and married at our age [When I say “adjusted” — I just mean I cynically laugh and settle back into my noncommittal ways] BUT: now everyone’s blowing up facebook with this “baby business”
It’s one thing to put a ring on it, but it’s quite another to put a bun in it.
