Things I've Learned in the Past 4 Days:
1. I do not want to date someone who gives me a hug, smells his fingers and says, "Man! You smell so good, I could smell you all night long."
2. Sometimes, the best thing for your mental health is to skip Sunday School, find a nice grassy spot beneath and orange tree, sit, and drink a Diet Dr. Pepper.
3. In a moment of total despair, a well timed hug from two gangly, awkward, teenagers accompanied by the words "we love you Ms. Walker, everything will be ok" is one of the most comforting things that can happen. It will also make me cry a little.
4. It's good to have friends who love you enough to kick your trash every so often. It's even better if they tell you that you have impeccable lunging form. It's not as great the next day when your thighs are on fire.
5. Zin Burger has the best burgers around.
6. If you walk into your classroom and they have cleaned the carpets, it isn't because they love you and want you to have nice floors. They are going to try to take your classroom away for a fancy three day training.
7. I'm alarmingly possessive of my classroom.
8. If you shake a little dog enough, he will barf on you.
9. Apples from Trader Joe's are mealy and gross.
Things I'm Excited About:
1. I'm moving to a darling studio apartment.
2. The school year ends in 3 weeks. Summer school starts in 3 weeks and 4 days, but we are ignoring that fact.
3. Flying home and eating fresh fruit from my parents trees.
4. Starting my Masters program in the fall, for free!
