I got an A in my 1st summer class. Which is good because I am trying to raise my GPA and another B will bring it down. No more B's until after I graduate.
My 2nd summer class just started this week. This teacher wants us to write one paper every day. That sounds like fun...I've been dying to write 25 papers over the next 5-weeks.
I'm really excited, I found out today that when we go up north this weekend the day-time high is going to be in the 60's-70's. WOOHOOO! I cannot wait. It's 9:30 pm the sun has been down for over an hour and half and it's still 100+ degrees outside. Do you like being cold or hot better? I will always say cold because like I was telling John earlier this week there is only so much I can take off when I'm hot.

Awww
So, i've been at the same job for over 9 years. That's a very long time when you're 29!
Today my boss sent me an e-mail asking if I wanted a pot-luck or get lunch from somewhere for my "last" week (i'll still be lurking around there, just not hours people are usually there). It's a bitter-sweet feeling.
Anyways, i told her just whatever is easier that people want to do. I really didn't want to make a big deal about it. I don't want to start crying or anything - not that i would - but sometimes i cry. Like you know when you get that Birthday dinner song - sometimes that can make me cry. Or when I'm mad about something and i have to talk about that something I'll start crying. Pretty much until I know how i feel, internally I don't know how to feel so i cry. It's rather annoying and so EMBARRASING if it happens around someone...anyways!
During our meeting today they took a vote and decided to get lunch from somewhere. My friend was like lets do pizza. Hmmm...pizza is not my first, second, third, forth choice.
Later when i was back in my bosses office she asked me if i wanted Pei Wei or Olive Garden. That sounds way better than pizza. They are sweet!

No more Monday blues
I've been waiting months maybe even years for this week. Now that it's hear it's a very strange feeling. I have been at the same job for over 9 years. Right now I work 30 hours a week. Which is very sweet when school is not in session. Here is something very cool. I make more in my 30 hour week than people on my team that work 40 hours. Which is something we probably want to keep to ourselves. But, that's not the case anymore. After Friday I am going to work 12 hours a week. Student teaching starts in 2 weeks and 1 day. I'm totally excited. I need to e-mail a few girls from my cohort and find out what they are wearing the first week (the kids won't be there yet). I don't want to be over dressed but i don't want to be under dressed either. First impressions are important.
On Friday, i'm going up with the family and staying up north to the pines for the weekend. I was looking forward to it until my sister told me my future brother-in-law is bringing his trumpet with him and going to practice for the Olympic games every day. Are you kidding me?
Anyways, Happy Monday!

The Epidemic Continues
My sister got back from Washington last Friday. On my way home from Shaunnas’ house I got this great idea to ask Heather go scorpion hunting (taking a black light in the yard and killing them). When I got home Heather was already scorpion hunting. I decided to walk around with her. My sister is very daring and she actually likes doing it. She gets all into it and uses my moms hemostats grabs them and then cuts them into about 8 pieces. That night we found an astounding 32-33 of them. YUCK! She has gone out every night since then and luckily the numbers have decreased. In the last week though there have been over a hundred in my parent’s back yard! AGH!
Now we find them (well I should say she) in specific places. The back yard borders with 4 neighbors. There are two houses along the back wall and then one house on each side. Against the back wall the house on the right there is hardly ever any on that one. The house that is on the left there are usually several. Which makes me think that they have a scorpion problem too (since they tend to be territorial). I told my sister she should go over there to ask if they do and then if they say yes, to ask if she can hunt in their back yard that night. But, I guess she didn’t like that idea and they would probably be offended. DON’T THEY KNOW THAT THESE CREATURES ARE HORRIBLE?????
Last night I didn’t go out with her and she found the mother-load. She put it in a mason jar (sick, that better end up in the trash) and sprayed them it was a mother and 11-tiny babies upon her back.
I love my sister and that she protects me from these things. I am sad to think that my hunter is leaving in a few weeks and won’t be back for a year. What am I going to do? My other sister and I are too squeamish to do it. Heck, I freaked out tonight outside when a mouth landed on my shirt. I think Heather should become a scorpion wrangler, she’s great at it.

No self-control?
Today I decided I wasn't going to buy anymore shirts, jeans, or pants unless they were appropriate for teaching. That was until this afternoon, when I went with Kim and my mom to see Wall-e at San Tan Village. While we were waiting for the movie to start we went to Aeropostale.
Kim got some things for her cruise in a few weeks and I got three tops. They were super cheap and on sale for 7.99-12.99. They might be good for when I go to Austin in two-weeks.
Starting tomorrow I will not buy anymore shirts, jeans, or pants unless then are appropriate for teaching, k?

BOOOO
First let me start of by saying I LOVE the 4th of July!
Fireworks, BBQ, and swimming what more could a girl ask for?
This year was very disappointing. Every year fireworks go off across the street from my parents house. You can sit in the yard and they are right there. Totally fun and AMAZING!!! And you don't have to deal with all the traffic. I guess it was decided that there would not be a fireworks show this year seeing as there is another one that is a mile away. I figured well it won't be as wonderful but still will be pretty cool. That was until I found out that show was cancelled too. :-(
No fireworks for me!
I miss the 'OHHH'ing and 'Awww'ing at all the pretty lights and colors. :-(
Fireworks brings out the inner child in me. I could watch it on TV but that is totally not the same. Next year I will def. not be sitting at home watching a movie
::keeping fingers crossed::

Babies
The past 3-Wednesdays I have spent 2 hours at the non-profit organization Save The family here in Arizona. I don't know if it's just an Arizona company or in different states. They really are wonderful.
I was in the baby room. I think I caught a bit of the baby bug. Hmmm...guess i knew this would come some day. The babies & small toddlers there (4-5) are soo cute and it was fun holding, feeding, and playing with them. The little guy I was playing with tonight must have been 6-7 months old??? idk he could kinda of sit but couldn't crawl. Maybe he was closer to 5 months. Anyways he was cute and he would smile big and loved playing with certain toys (with help). I've always loved little boys, they are sweet.
I'll miss going they really grew on me.
