So,
It has been a while since I last posted. Work has kept me super busy. The nice thing is that in the past month, I have realized that I definitely chose the right field to go into. I love love love being a speech-language pathologist! I still haven’t gotten used to waking up at 6 everyday, but it’s not super hard anymore either. I usually get back home between 3:30 and 4, which I guess is nice. I’m almost done with my application for temporary licensure in Illinois, so I just have to get a job there. The closer June 16th gets, the more nervous I am. But hurray for Chicago! I’m excited.
What else? I’ve become addicted to the Sookie Stackhouse books. After I read Anna Karenina (and ended up not liking it), I decided I wanted to read something light that did not require much thought. I remembered that True Blood (the show about vampires on HBO that I watched in the Fall) was based on books, so I looked them up and bought the first two in the series. I read those two pretty quickly and then I tried to read the Junot Diaz book that I had bought, but I kept on thinking about vampires. So then I called the Bull’s Head bookshop and asked if they had any of those books. And guess what! They did. So I got the next three. There are 8 in all and I am now on the 4th. I really liked the HBO series, but I always felt weird watching it because there are lots of graphic sex scenes in just about every episode. Anyway…
I am giving up on ever finding a pair of flats that will be comfortable. Nordstroms is having their semi-annual shoe sale and I bought this really cute pair of green leather flats. And they were really comfortable when I tried them on. But then I wore them to school and found out, sadly, that they hurt my big toe. I spent that day walking weird-ly because it made it hurt less, but now the muscle or tendon in my leg hurts a whole bunch.
Um. I bought some more stuff at Anthropologie. I got a cute short sleeved shirt cross stitching on it that was on sale. And I got a gray and white semi-fancy short sleeved jacket that I plan on wearing to my interview. I love that store.
Oh I know what else. My PE coaches have an office next to mine. There are two. One is a bit older and is retiring. The other one is around my age and cute. But I don’t know if I actually think he’s cute or if he’s cute because there are like 4 men total that work in the school. One is a kindergarten teacher. I always wonder what he’s like because, seriously, what is a male kindergarten teacher like. There’s also this “science guy” who goes into various classes and teaches kids science. He wears bow ties and oversized regular ties. I think he wears them to be silly, but my grad student thinks that he’s trying to look nice and fancy. Who knows? Because of my wonderful detective skills, I found out his name and looked him up on facebook. He graduated from UNC in 2008 and I can’t see his profile. However, he is with a girl in his picture, who is most likely his girlfriend.
Anyway.
I’m so happy that So You Think You Can Dance is back on tv. There are these two brothers who are in the top 16 guys (they made it through all the tough auditions but there’s one more cut because they need only 10 guys and 10 girls for the show). So these guys have a Polish last name-Kasprzak. That’s a sort of common last name in Poland, I think. It’s the last name of my grandma’s neighbor. But instead of pronouncing it the Polish way, they say it as Kas-per-zac. They’re really good dancers.
I think that’s all.
