transcend time/with my thoughts/build a house for you and I/and we will live there/alone and surrealize

has it really been a week since I posted? it doesn't feel like a week, somehow. I guess I've just been working really hard on stuff.

I feel this wonderful sense of accomplishment! FINALLY finished my TEFL course (though my tutor hasn't gotten back to me on the last module yet, but all the work is done). YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, I finally wrote up a flyer thing to send out to our old co-op about piano lessons. I really need some more students, and I'd like to take homeschoolers if possible, so I can teach during the day instead of late in the evening. So hopefully that will get sent out today. it's been on my mind for like a week and a half.

Guess what happened yesterday? I finally caved in and drove to school....it was still in the 30's when I had to leave, so I decided to drive. Left the house at 9:35 and got to the school by 9:40.........

..........9:55 came home and had mom give me a ride to the school.

NO PARKING ANYWHERE.

*sigh* I'm so used to parking for 8:00 classes when there are tons of spaces still open at 7:45, 7:50. I don't think I've ever tried to park there for a 10:00 class.

so yeah, mom dropped me off and I think I walked into my class right at 10:00 (thank goodness for stay-at-home moms!)....and then walked home. in the freezing cold. which was not fun.

yeah. so now I'm not sure what to do. Becca and I are trying to work out carpooling next quarter. it may involve a PE class. >:(

mmmmmmmmmmm.........aren't cinnamon rolls the best? I made gingersnaps a couple of nights ago, while we carved our pumpkin and watched You've Got Mail, and they turned out really well! except they aren't as soft and chewy as I'd like. you just never know with gingersnaps.

finished that huge essay on Tuesday and got it turned in. life is most definately calming down. which is good because now I have a trip to Europe to plan......

alright my friends, of to Shakespeare and the wildness that is My Class + Richard III!!!!

(oh one last thing. yesterday I had to write down words of so many syllables with certain stress patterns for TEFL. wrote down curMUDGeon....it was pretty fantasting. then I was saying everything with a British accent. try it - it's addicting.

tomato.

and try reading furniture, written out in the phonetic alphabet. comes out as funitshe. British accent - there are no "r's" in the word. that one took me a loooong time to figure out.)
