Highs and Lows (Stolen from AXO)
Thanks to the ladies of AXO, I thought it would be really neat to have a Highs and Lows thread :). List all the good and bad things that have happened today, this week, or this month (or whenever!). I'll start...
*Highs* ~The weather has been awesome in NC. ~My senior sem paper is almost done. ~I graduate next month! *Lows* ~My little has been called into standards twice this semester. ~It's the end of the semester...need I say more? ~My mom is a distance learning student at Liberty, and facebook has just added Liberty, so now my mom has joined facebook. |
Highs:
It's my birthday! I'm going out tonight! Lows: I have a paper due tomorrow that's only half done. |
Highs
* I got a job offer to teach high school earth science * My cousin got married last night * My favorite sister/roommmate/best friend and I will be touring the Yuengling Factory this summer Lows * it took me an hour to drive 15miles to the school where i got offered the job, and i don't really want to teach earth science, so i think i'm going to turn it down * i got voted off the island for my beach house. i didn't get a chance to sign the lease yet, so now 3 of the 5 girls in the house want me to split the summer with this other girl who wants to live in the house now that her and her boyfriend broke up * i have too many papers to do in my classes and i think i'm getting a B in ecology |
Highs
*I got to see my first ever U2 concert on my birthday Thursday :D *I had 2 days off work Lows *My mini vacation is over and I have to go back to work on Monday *It's raining |
Highs
*As far as I'm concerned, after my senior sem presentation this Friday I will be done with all of my degree requirements. *Senior Pansy Brunch and Circle Degree is this Saturday, and my mom is coming down Lows *Getting the presentation together has been stressful *I still have two other classes (taken for credit, but I don't need them to graduate), and two concerts to go until graduation. |

MY HIGHS ~my little baby girl had her 4 month checkup and is a healthy and happy baby ~the high school i teach at is going to let me teach part-time in the fall so I can spend more time with my daughter ~i have lost almost all of my pregnancy weight and can actually fit into almost all my clothes again LOWS ~my yard is all weeds. no really, i looked for a single blade of grass and was unsuccessful:( ~the armoir i bought was delivered today and they couldn't fit it upstairs so they had to take it back and now I am armoir-less ~my husband is in Iraq for 7 more months |

Highs *My cousins wedding was awesome *I'm reconnecting with my best friend from high school tonight (we kinda grew apart when she got a really serious older bf in high school) * A huge event I'm planning- The Passaic River Paddle Relay, is finally starting to fall into place. (the Passaic River is one of the most polluated/"endangered" rivers in the country, and this event is going to promote stewardship and education to turn the river from a lost cause to a worthy cause) *Between stress, running, and watching my eating, I've dropeed 15 lbs. Lows *I have so much paperwork for my job that I'm writing up reports on my "mental health day" that I took today *I keep getting offered middle school science teaching jobs, and I don't want to teach middle school *I'm not going to be able to live at the Jersey Shore this summer, like I thought. The girl I'm supposed to split the summer with is not being at all flexible so I have to drop out * I have 8 papers to write for one class. The prof decided to finally give us the assignments last week. * I still don't offically have insurance for the Passaic River Paddle |
HIGHS
*I'm done with senior sem!!! LOWS *Other than working, I still have no clue what to do after graduation. |
DolphinChicaDDD--I teach h.s. math--AlgebraII and Geometry. I feel very fortunate that my school is letting me teach parttime, but I think that part of it is that there is such a shortage for math teachers here, they would rather let me teach parttime rather than lose me. It is nice being in demand!
More Highs ~~It is my first official Mother's Day and my Mom, Aunt and sister are coming to visit and celebrate ~~My husband surprised me with 2 dozen roses yesterday ~~I leave for the beach in 2 days Lows ~~I have to have 2 fillings tomorrow:( (and I remember when I used to love the dentist as a child) ~~I just gave the dog a bath and he just rolled in the dirt which makes my bathing him worthless. ~~another high would be that I am struggling to think of lows--good signs |
HIGHS
*I AM GOING TO BE A SCIENCE TEACHER IN SEPTEMBER!! I really wanted high school, but I'll be doing either 7th or 8th grade or both. If I hate it after a year, I'll move on to another district. *Circle Degree is Sunday. I missed it last year because of NCAA trials, but I'll offically be an alumnae after Sunday. My alum chapter is very excited because they never got to do one before. LOWS *I have a bad feeling about my final tonight. |
HIGHS
*I'm graduating this Saturday LOWS *I'm graduating this Saturday |

Highs ~I'm gonna see U2 again tomorrow! And again on Saturday! ~I got a surprise bonus at work Lows ~I still didn't get my spring Trident yet |
*bump*
Highs * I'm done working at the NJDEP FOREVER * I have until Sept 6 to do nothing * I went to Live 8 Lows *My wrist is still not gaining strength, so I have an MRI this week. If it turns out the cartalige is torn I'm looking at surgery |
Highs
*New job is going great, and I'm really enjoying Lows *I recently broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years. |
Highs
*This summer has been awesome overall *I'm going to DISNEY WORLD!!!! I booked today for the Half Marathon I'm running in Jan *One of my pledge sisters is coming to visit me tomorrow and I absolutly LOVE her Lows *I'm broke because I've had a fabulous summer *I don't get paid until Spet 15 *I'm nervous about teaching *I had to fill out a form that tells the state what to do with my pension if I die. Its the first time I ever had to fill out something like that. And it made me have a panic attack. |
Highs
* I'm haven't quit my teaching gig, so thats always a positive. * I haven't told any 7th or 8th graders what I really think of them, so I still have a job. * I bought new luggage for my upcomming trips Lows * I dropped my frist class ever. I was taking Advance Marine Geology, at the graduate level no less, without ever haven taken Marine Geology, undergrad or any other level. When we dervived an equation for 45min, that was the final straw. * I highly suspect cheating in one class. Which is making me upset. I'm going to be watching this class like a hawk from now on. |
Highs:
*The leaves are turning and we have some beautiful red ones around here. *I finally figured out how to format my signature for GC! *Starting to "meet" some other DDDs this week at GC. Lows: *Work in our business is kind of slow right now. |
HIGHS & LOWS
Sallie, how DID you format your signature? I read the directions and was as confused as ever!:)
|
HIGHS & LOWS
Just checking to see if my signature goes on here! :D
|
Hi Dotti!
I've been MIA, but I see that you found how to format your signature. Very nice! Sallie |
HIGHS & LOWS
Thanks, Sallie!
Goldendelta came to my rescue (see "Electronically Challenged") and showed me how to convert a "D" to the delta symbol. Now, my highs and lows after a truly exhausting week: HIGHS: * Our magazine had our 2nd annual leadership conference (some 550 professional women attended at The Pierre hotel in NYC--and it went flawlessly!) I worked setting up the night before until 2am, was back at 5:30am, and lasted through the 8pm cocktail hour! SO-O--I get this Monday and Friday off! * Am in the final stretches of my book proposal! My agent arrives on November 5th to present it to five (!) interested publishers that week! * Went to a thrift shop today and found a black crepe Armani suit (in impeccable condition) for $200! LOWS: * Back to work Tuesday! (Just kidding--I LOVE my job!) |
*Highs*
ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!! *Lows* My homeroom is so incredibly immature that they are not allowed to have art again (the second week in a row that someone put paint on another person's clothes on purpose) |
Happy birthday, DolphiaChicaDDD!
Highs... The beautiful fall colors around here... I sold an article this week after not writing for publication in quite awhile... Lows... We have our house for sale and the market is S-L-O-W |
I just found out from the VP/Recruitment at the University of Illinois (my chapter, Delta Pi) that they have taken in 54 new '09s on Bid Day!
Take a look (click on photo galleries, last 3 pix): http://www.uiuctridelta.org/ No lows! :) |
HIGHS:
-Just had homecoming and caught up with tons of old friends -Finishing up 1st Semester 2nd Year of Med School -Went to Las Vegas twice (and didn't end up married...lol) -An old boyfriend sent me flowers out of the blue LOWS: -Me and my boyfriend just broke up -He's already dating someone else -The semester isn't over -I've got to be a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding (worst dress ever) |
Highs:
Survey is almost over at work and I will have Friday off due to long hours I had a very nice surveyor. Lows: Got a letter stating that my chapter is in jeopardy of closing due to low numbers and academics :-( Robin |
giving this a little bump.....
Highs: * so I'm really digging my new job! My new co-workers are really cool! Lows: * I still work in retail so I still don't have a job with a normal work schedule. :rolleyes: |
I think its time to give this a bump
~Highs~ I'm going on a cruise this weekend with my boyfriend, who I haven't seen in almost 2 weeks. School is almost done for the year (19 more school days!) I'm moving in less than a month, and starting a new career. ~Lows~ I'm moving in less than a month. Its really more of a high then a low, but for the first time ever, I'll be leaving my home state and offically moving out of parents house. Most of the time, I've been pretending to move out (college, summers, etc) but still pretty much lived at home. I think it may be more of a low for my mom than me. |
Highs
*I finally got a full time teaching job after 2 years of a part time one *I am moving much much closer to my fiancé *My fiancé and I are going home shopping on Saturday *Only 5 more days of school left *I get my very own classroom (no more crashing other classrooms!) Lows *My mom is having a hard time with my move (it is only 2 hours away) *It will be stressful to build a class from the bottom up *Special Education is hectic *It's hot and my current school is not air conditioned and middle school kids sometimes smell |
BuckeyeTriDelta
Where are you moving that is 2 hours away? I am in Toledo. |
I am moving to the Zanesville/Coshocton area from the Dayton area.
|
I don't know where that is, but good luck with your move.
Highs 4 day weekend Yeah! Tomorrow is payday Plenty to do to keep busy Lows Weekend is probably going to go fast. It is very very hot and humid here |
Zanesville/Coshocton is in Southeastern Ohio. It is way too hot here for May, and teaching in an un-air conditioned building doesn't help.
|
Highs:
- finally feeling better after surgery and catching a cold! - seeing some activity here on our forum!! Let's keep it going ladies!! :) Lows: - working too much.... boo! :mad: |
Highs
~ School is over for the year and I'm officially half way through college! :D ~ I'm finally getting to spend quality time with my family! ~ I finally got someone I didn't like to stop texting me!

-Highs-
6 more hours of work and I am on vacation Will be out of pager range for 6 days -Lows- Got a sunburn from the weekend Very apprehensive about leaving work for 6 days. The woman I am leaving in charge is not very trustworthy (I have no choice, she is my second in command...very very long story) |
