Jessie in Wonderland

So I was watching Alice in Wonderland at work the other day. While Alice is lost in the forest she sings a song that has the line,

"I give myself very good advice
But I very seldom follow it."

Sometimes I really feel like that!

Thank you Kanye!

So the other day I was driving to school and I was so frustrated with everything. Teaching is hard! And student teaching is even harder. I have 7 weeks left. That's all I have to make it through to graduate. But some days I just want to give up. Anyway, this one morning I was listening to a mix CD and Kanye West's song "Stronger" came on and it gave me that extra push I needed to make it trough the week. :)

3 Reasons

I am majorly excited for summer this year.
More than usual. Here are my 3 main reasons:

I will be graduated!

Warm weather!

Shaun will be home!

Non-extreme Home Makeover

So I have lived in my current apartment for 6 months now, and our living room has been barer than bare. I decided enough was enough. So yesterday I had my first Saturday off work in a long time. I dragged Jamie along and after WalMart, Hobby Lobby, and a little dumpster diving (okay, it was really just a cardboard recycling bin) I was ready to go to work! I only spent $15 and it only took me about 4 hours with a little help from one of my roommates. I love it! I'm so excited about my new living room!

These are just squares of cardboard covered in fabric.

This is all cardboard painted soley with my fingers :)

This is just a few yards of fabric hung up with thumb tacks.

This is just scrapbook paper hung up with double-sided tape!

Keyboards

I have decided that keyboards are the grossest thing in the world. The other day at school I was watching my students type, and this one boy repeatedly wiped the snot running down his face, and then went right back to typing. I wanted to throw up. So I was completely disgusted when I went the the computer lab on campus yesterday. I hope college kids are a little more hygenic than that, but you never know. Plus, a ton more people file throught the computer labs on campus than at my little middle school. Yuck. Maybe I'll turn into one of those people who carry around Lysol and hand santizer and stuff.....

A Few of my Favorites

Has anyone else seen the new show The Big Bang Theory? I think it's hilarious. It would probably be even funnier if I was a huge nerd and understood all the jokes... but I understand enough for it to be funny and still feel good about myself.

I think Kevin James is hilarious. Hitch, Mall Cop, and best of all.... King of Queens. I watch reruns of that show almost daily. I think his humor fits my sense of humor or something. I quite enjoy his shows.

This weekend I saw Confession of a Shopaholic. I found some new eyecandy. Apparently he's not that new, because my sisters knew all about him.... but I thought I'd discovered something exciting. His name is Hugh Dancy if anyone else is as behind as I am.

Keep At It

This is some advice I heard today, and I really like it. Not every day is going to be wonderful. But we can still be happy. And we always know it will get better. Just KEEP AT IT!
