Roses, buds & thorns

[lagirl33]

Rose - I had an awesome time with my sister and brother in San Francisco for my sis's birthday. My sister LOVED her present - a necklace from tiffany's. We took her to the store, had her try it on because "I thought it was cute", and then said happy birthday!

Bud - I'm really looking forward to getting back to school.

Thorns - My boyfriend didn't get to come up this weekend (he goes to USC and they started back in August) because gas was so expensive and his professors piled work on him. I don't get to see him till October now because I'll be so busy with rush prep/rush itself.

Rose and Thorn - I'm taking care of my brother and sister while my parents are in Europe and man is it hard! Getting healthy dinner on the table, making sure the house is clean, waking up at 5 am to take my brother to water polo practice, rides to and from school, etc. All this while still working my full time job. I don't know how my parents do it!

Rose: I finished five pages in my scrapbook this week!

Bud: The progress on the Delta Iota house is amazing! I wish I knew how to post pictures so I could share. We're all so excited about recruitment and Move-In is next Wednesday!

Thorn: Lots of work to do for summer school finals before move-in.

Rose -- I got to see Andrea (HannahGirl) this weekend!! She was down on the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a family vacation so my boyfriend and I snuck down this weekend to see them before they left! Here are some cute pictures we took of myself and Andrea hanging out at the pool!

WOW! I am so excited for Delta Iota! Please post photos as the changes take place. Is it supposed to be finished in time for recruitment? Are there any interior changes (I know the living room was redecorated a few years ago)? Keep us informed!

I just recieved another long term teaching assignment. I'll be teaching 4th grade for a girl going on maternity leave so that means I'll be in the classroom till at least Halloween. I don't have to deal with 6am phone calls...which is VERY EXCITING! I will be starting very soon (like next tuesday) considering school started TODAY!
This is my 3rd long term assignment....I had 3rd grade last fall at the same school I'll be at this time (which means I'll have my kids from last year!) and I finished out the 05-06 year in Kindergarten at a different school within the district.
Kent recruitment starts next weeked also! The girls are ready and I'm hoping that we walk away with quota again!
