| I am doing an amazing job at making sure I am happy with life. This may mean i'm putting less hours into my job but in the overall scheme of things I think it's a good idea
guess what, 23 year olds with a bachelor degree don't change the education system of america nor do they improve the family structure of the inner city.
23 year olds just survive
guess what
i'm 24
oops
my students insist they saw Rosa Parks walking the streets in their neighborhood
they also want to know why we can't invite MLK to a birthday party at the school
yeeet i got them learning about Ghandi...i'll take what i can get:)
this weekend i taught myself the soulja boy dance using the internet....this references back to my comment at the beginning....first off, i look rather hysterical doing it, kinda like a white chic trying to do pilates to hiphop...if it's hiphop...whatever you'd call it. today in class (while writing and reading about MLK...reference earlier paragraph and it now makes more sense) my students were discussing the soulja boy dance and who can do it. i really wanted to inform them of my weekend activity but 1. i wasn't sure if it was appropriate 2. they could kick my butt with it i'm sure and i wanted to keep my pride.
18 more work days until the joy of a colorado vacation:):) | | |
| why do multiple people call me in order to make them feel better about their lives?
is it because i work with kids that call me 'dirty whore' and words that make no sense for my race?
is it because i pay nearly 1000 per month in rent and yet my pipes release colored, smelly water?
or because the best i can get from a male is the attention/crushes of 5th grade boys who's affection i bribe via lollipops and refugee from security?
:p i say :p
i wouldn't trade in new york for anything
i'd trade a LOT for break to start tomorrow!!
3 more days....NOTHING can get me down with that in mind!!!:)
p.s. i don't know what i had to drink tonight for our last week before break celebration but it was green and made the lights on bloomingdales look amazing
p.s.s i'm addicted to airborn. i'm drinking in mixed with water from my pipes. i'm not so sure this is a good idea
oh, and my gold earings make me look 'bling bling' and 'OD'
my kids are behind on their slang | | |
| Buying a latte from Starbucks for your walk home makes a cold, snowy, winter day seem much warmer and brighter.
Making that latte a 'special' latte when you get home makes LIFE much warmer and brighter:)
It was actually rather beautiful to walk home in snow today.
I want jewish holidays off in december. it only seems politically correct. Of course this is the first 5 day week I've had in a month so I probably shouldn't complain
Know why NYC is grand in the winter time? Because no matter where you are, if it's cold there is always some dude selling cheap hats and scarfs.
I tend to swear a lot. I also gained quite an attitude. I'm not sure yet if it's a good or bad thing but it's a rather useful thing! Here's the thing though- for anyone who cares. The east coast/nyc isn't rude (in fact I find most people to be rather pleasant and considerate) they just know how to be assertive and take care of themselves. I rather like it.
That was stupid and pointless
I'm gonna finish that latte and download christmas music for the classroom...wait...not...winter holiday music.
Joy
Tis the season to be fat, lazy and jolly:) | | |
| I am becoming a girl. Today I bought a pair of shoes and it somehow made me feel better about life....huh.
If my parents ask, thanksgiving away from home was horrible and I cried the whole time. If anyone else ask, myself and the other 10 people who couldn't afford to go home had a total blast! Lucky my roommates can cook!!
come christmas break it will have been 6 months since I moved to new york city. Come new years when the depressing lets look back at the last year stage comes i think i'll be crazily overwhelmed by the amount of change that has occured in my life and the life of my family. and yet, amazingly enough, most changes, events etc etc have been unexpected and truly amazing. go figure, life tends to turn out for the best:p
though i still have my days of depression and am still accepting all care packages!!! ;) my roommates are considering calling home depressed to see what they can gain out of it:) i'm doing pretty freakin awesome in that department! i should probably send out thank you cards sometime sooon.
i think we got rid of all the mice or at least managed to keep them out of the apartment. this is wonderful wonderful news!!! now our toilet runs 24/7 but we can live with that...sometimes..i may have kicked it and cussed at it last night.
umm life remains about the same but i am learning how to handle it better and better and my roommates are rather happy about that. they like me happy:) people make all the difference and i got good people in my life. good people who know how to have fun and care. sniff. its a beautiful thing.
i go home for christmas in about a month. i'm excited to be able to play in a yard. i'm not excited to drive and pay for gas. i hope there is piles of snow when i go home:)
we live by the dude that is in the hbo tv show entourage....or something like that....i wonder what he pays for rent. i bet he has better roof top access.
i suck at doing work lately. sometimes living on a piece of cardboard that says we are thanksful for izzo and drinking and smoking my life away sounds rather appealing. buuuut i like to shower and i like to eat so i think i'll keep my job:) plus i'm changing the life of a child right? suuuure:p
life itself- good bad shmah shmah- is amazing. i just like to bitch about it:)
525,600 minutes- how do you measure a year?
how about love?
yah think on that one
i want to live a 'rent' life for a month...maybe a week...couple days..it's be sweet | | |
| Janna I am working very hard at remembering the letter 't' as an important letter in the alphabet. Wader is not a real word. Is it ok to be the one from out of state and still mock the local accent?
Why my life is humerous:
we pay an insane amount for rent and yet have already trapped 8 mice. These mice are too smart of the wonderful snap and break the neck trap. oh nooo. they just hover around and eat off the traps and move on. So instead we use the sticky traps which means they mice get stuck to them but can still run around and make noises as we sit at the bar and watch during breakfast or, depending on the mood, cuss at them and yell death threats.
The NYPD stopped me to search my bag on the way to work. talk about avoiding racial profiling. but they didn't even open it. instead they commented on how heavy it was for 5 minutes, called over their buddies and asked me how i carry it every day.
I don't carry it every day, it's on wheels. Another humerous part of my life is that I wheel around my briefcase like a grandma.
sorry for being a bitch to the NYPD- certain riots make me anti-cops;)
speaking of cops- the school security had to come in a blow her whistle in my classroom. it was grand. then she threatened with the handcuffs. even better.
I had a mullet for two days. my roommate took pictures.
When I told my mom I was going ice skating at central park she wanted to know if my insurance was good.
Other News
The wedding and weekend home was amazing. I loved seeing people and just having fun!
Thanksgiving is coming up and it's going to be awesome!! we're cooking for a good amount of people...well, my roommates are. I think I'll be boozing people up and maaaayyybbeee making a can of corn. But i have high expectations for the weekend and the time off!! That's following the Macy's parade which I'll probably hate but it'll be humerous to see how we work it out! speaking of crazy crowds- i'll be in NYC for new years and i think people should come visit!!! cold weather....huge croweds....no bathrooms...ME!!!
I'm really good at playing the game of getting off at a random subway stop with a friend and finding an amazing spot to eat in 5 minute walking distance. It's a gift
I miss singing in the car but have taken to doing it on the subway and oddly enough, no one looks at you weird.
I've got a 3 day weekend- go verterans day!!! I am so far behind with life and work that it's depressing:(
so about that ice skating...i don't know how to ice skate. I also don't really have winter clothing. huh. this should be grand:) | | |
