Sometimes I just miss college. It seems with the coming of warmer weather I find myself reminiscing of days past spent in the wonderful town of Cape Girardeau where life was simpler. The only responsibilities included going to class at 10am (if you could make it), taking a nap until 3pm, and then getting to D'ladium early enough to snag the bar table and a dart board.

Facebook is my nemesis right now, logging on I am bombarded with pictures and status updates about how wonderful Bel-Air is this time of year, going to the baseball games, and general Cape Giradeau fun from the girls who are finishing up their senior year. I know my friends are jonesin' too...we have all got Cape on the brain. I know it is never the same when I go back and visit but it makes me cherish my college years all that much more.

OK so I really can't see the future, but right now if I were to shake my Magic 8 ball it would tell me my "Outlook good." I found out last week that I am officially hired back in my position at West Middle! I can not even describe how good this feeling is, knowing that I have a job 4 months before the school year actually begins. And it is a full contract so I am (hopefully) guaranteed a position in the district somewhere  until my happy ass decides to leave. We (the teachers) do not have a contract yet because of some negotiation issues but hopefully by this Sunday we will know what is going on, then I will be "officially" official!

I have already started a gigantic to-do list for this summer now that I am staying put, lots of planning, maybe a little classroom painting, and teaching summer school. I am pumped for summer school because I am teaching scrapbooking...and I use the term "teach" lightly. I pretty much intend on crafting for 4 weeks with a bunch of 6,7,8th graders for an extra 2 G's....yes please!

The weather has been fantastic lately, except for today (what was with the 2pm torrential downpour?) lots of sun and over 80 degrees. It makes me crave the summer...lots of fun events coming up, our friends Natalie and Joel's wedding, Lake Trip 5, our 4 year anniversary, my 25th birthday (holy hell!), and my first summer where I don't have to look for a job. Can't wait!
