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.

JupiterTC this cracked me up. I am a grad student at NCSU and thought about joining facebook but then thought I might be too old for that!

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

oooh!!! what subject do you teach? i'm interviewing to teach high school science (mainly biology, possibly earth or envrionmental) in the fall. Congrats losing the weight and your daughter being healthy; too bad your husband isn't around to be with you/her for check ups!! I'll certianlly keep in my prayers (slight hijack, I think its kinda funny when I'm going over my prayers and say things like, and keep <insert gc's name here> safe, etc...)

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

Congrats!
