snow

seriously.

it is october 15.

there should not be snow in new jersey on october 15th.

i was at my favorite part of the day - lunch duty when i heard a kid go it is snowing. i thought he was trying to fool me, until i look and yup, big huge fat flakes. so the rest of the day i had my students going mad... i guess the first sign of snow and the possibility of a delay make it the only thing on your mind at 16.

but i hate snow.

hate it.

but i love skiing.

and the cold.. uugh, i'm not ready for this.

i was just commenting yesterday to myself on the drive home, how pretty it was and how i was loving fall, and then this.

all i have to say is it better not be a cold, snowy winter.

i'm ready to move to somewhere warm, and it is only october.

otherwise school is going well :) and i'm going shopping with another teacher tomorrow and then this weekend i'm working at the restaurant saturday and sunday, so i guess i'm not getting a day off. but at least i get to sleep in!

and happy 111th founders day to my sisters! i love that 9 women created this incredible sisterhood and that it has become something so incredible and something i am so proud to be a part of. so happy founder's day and one of my favorite things about being a ZTA.

"To realize that within our grasp, in Zeta Tau Alpha, lies the opportunity to learn those things which will ever enrich and ennoble our lives; to be true to ourselves, and to those within and without our circle; to think in terms of all mankind and our service to the world; to be steadfast, strong, and clean of heart and mind, remembering that since the thought is father to the deed, only that which we would have manifested in our experience should be entertained in thought; to find satisfaction in being, rather than seeming, thus strengthening in us the higher qualities of the spirit; to prepare for service and learn the nobility of serving, thereby earning the right to be served; to seek understanding that we might gain true wisdom; to look for the good in everyone; to see beauty, with its enriching influence; to be humble in success, and without bitterness in defeat; to have the welfare and harmony of the Fraternity at heart, striving ever to make our lives a symphony of high ideals, devotion to the right, the good, and the true, without a discordant note; remembering always that the foundation precept of Zeta Tau Alpha was love, "the greatest of all things."
