trying to stay positive

thanks for all the love yesterday with the job situation - it isn't looking good so i'm coming to the realization that i won't be back next year and it is hard. i'm not telling my students until friday (the last day of school) and i am dreading it. finals are going well so far and yesterday during my prep i cleaned out most of the papers from the large pile on my filing cabinet that were waiting to be filed and organized my filing cabinet by leaving one blank and my answer key to start bringing everything home. and in the process i filled up a recycling bin. it was empty when i started. i will say a majority of it is my midterms. here is exhibit a -

i'm thinking of all the other things i want to do/possible job ideas and it is frustrating because this is the exact place i was in last summer when after july 28th i had no idea... well now after about august 18th i have no idea. but as i've said many times it all works out and things happen for a reason. so all i know is 3 more days of waking up at 5am. i have 3 more finals to give. and i am done. and on my way to connecticut for the summer :)

also, here is the long awaited erin with bangs photo - i thought i took one but i hadn't so i took it this morning as i left for work. to compare is the pre-haircut photo after school the day i cut it.

and went to dinner with erin and after we went and sat along this lake and chatted for another 1.5 hours. which was glorious. and then sister and i sporkled for a while this evening which was a ton of fun. we mostly did geography and history trivia. so it was fun :)

ohhhhh! and in july with my best friend and my roomie we will be seeing LADY ANTEBELLUM and TIM MCGRAW in concert! i am soooo excited for this! yay!

if you could have any job what would it be....
