shopping

it was a rough week. i generally had no energy and was just in a blah mood. i didn't have any fun weekend plans, so nothing to look forward to and just felt like i was going through the motions. which is something i hate, because i'm not that kinda person who just goes through the motions, but with school this week, not my best teaching.

lots have been going on personally and at work and i know that had an impact on my week.

monday afternoon i found out about a really bad car accident sunday night that killed someone i graduated high school with and seriously injured 2 others whom i also graduated with. i hadn't talked to these guys in about 7 years, but it is still a shock. so that had my week starting off in a sad mood.

and everything with work has me in limbo right now. i've mentioned a bit about the nj education issues right now, and well tuesday at the budget vote, our budget was voted down by the voters. so who knows how much money we need to cut, and where the money will be cut from. so for the next month i'm in limbo of will i have a job next year. as a first year teacher i'm first on the chopping block, and of the 5 of us hired this year, i'm the only one not to be let go yet, so just keeping my fingers crossed.

but still keeping a positive outlook on life. everything happens for a reason and so far everything has been going pretty fabulously. annnnd i have some sweet news. i will be returning to connecticut for the summmmmer! so excited. i'll be back up and an alternate director of a sailing camp, so pretty psyched for that. i get to be by all my connecticut loves and working at a camp and being outside all the time and on the water. and it will be a nice change from the school year. yay! i am sad about not going back to dc, because i LOVED last summer and the people i met and teaching but it just wouldn't have worked with my schedule. but connecticut! yay!

and summer is getting closer. so close. friday at work while lesson planning i had a minor freakout when i planned the rest of 4th quarter and realized there are 33 school days until finals. and i still have a ton to teach. but on that note i'm pretty much planned for the rest of the year which is nice.

and may is going to be awesome. i'm up in connecticut this weekend! and then the weekend after i think i'm going to a crew regatta in philly and seeing matt, then i'm down in maryland seeing little & glittle for a little zta family reunion, then i'm in boston watching one of my best friends graduate with her masters and seeing a few other philly friends, and then it is memorial day weekend (which i still need plans for) so crazy and a fabulous month.

and it was a quiet weekend, but i still had fun. like i said earlier i was exhausted, so i slept a lot, which hopefully helped. and i watched a ton of how i met your mother. and history channel. loved the "how the states were created" which was all about geography and how states were formed and it was incredibly interesting and now i'm watching the "history of us" which is also awesome. and i did a lot of shopping.

i've been wanting a bike since last summer and i finally got one! i get to pick her up next week!

i can't wait to go bike riding!

and i also went shopping with erin today... and found some shoes! yay! so with the pair i bought last week and the 4 i bought today, i think i'm good for a while. what can i say i love shoes!

yay shoes!!!

so i spent a ton of money this weekend... i also bought my first pair of skinny jeans and a top and a dress from h&m too. so must stop shopping! oh and watched a lot of hockey this week but my silly devils played horribly and lost to the flyers, so we are out of the playoffs.

how was your weekend?
