9:15 pm	just because I find it funny! (303): You hooked up with a kindergarten teacher? (720): Yea. It's kind of weird knowing that there are kindergarten teachers out there with their nipples pierced. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:18 pm	I'm sick...again So Friday I started to get another cold. I went to the doc in a box today to get medicine to prevent bronchitis and pneumonia. Several hours later I find out that I am wheezing and breathing at 72%. I have a virus. The doctor said that she has seen several kids with it, go figure. I got a steroid shot, a prescription for steroids, a breathing treatment, and an inhaler. Hopefully, I will be better before the field trip on Friday. Current Mood: sick (Comment on this)

9:38 pm	I have contracted my first major illness as a teacher. I have bronchitis and a sinus infection. I went to the doctor this afternoon and I got 2 shots (one antibiotic and one steriod) and a prescription for antibiotics and steroids. On a brighter note, I found sixlets and candy sticks at the dollar tree. Oh, how I love candy sticks! Plus, I love all of the candy that comes with Halloween! Diabetic coma here I come!

12:32 am	So, I feel like such a brat. It's a good thing everybody else was praying and believing when I gave up. I saw my room today! I spent an hour or so moving stuff around. Then I spent way too much money and time at Staples and Wal-Mart trying to get things ready. So I have all day tomorrow and half of Monday before parents and students arrive for open house at 2:30. I have already started to feel overwhelmed by all of this stuff I have to get ready, but it is a good feeling. Thanks again for the prayers. It worked! Miss y'all and love y'all!

1:33 am	Well, I am feeling better after the wreck and all. Becca should get her 4runner back before her birthday. She did $3,800 worth of damage. The girl who caused the wreck works at Krystal's which means it will take many years of garnishing wages to pay for all of it plus my medical bills. Also, proof of why having insurance is a good idea. I go to fill out all of the final paperwork tomorrow for the apartment and I get my keys. That is kinda weirding me out. I get cable and internet on Saturday morning. I have to call again tomorrow to figure out when my furniture is being delievered on Saturday. I am still packing. My room is a disaster. I am really looking forward to moving but it is a little scary. Oh well. I feel like these are my last days in the nursery, to quote Wendy from Peter Pan. (Comment on this)

8:41 pm	the wreck So Saturday Becca and I were running errands. We were on our way back home. Becca was driving her 4runner. We decided to go the back way home and down this new road that just opened up. We are driving down the road going about 40 mph, the speed limit was 35. The music wasn't up loud and we were listening to corey smith. There is a subdivision to our right. There is an old oldsmobile coming from the opposite direction. Becca sees them and watches them pull out in front of her to turn into the neighborhood. She slams on the brakes and turns to the left to try and avoid hitting the car. It doesn't work. She slams into their car, but because she tried to turn away from hitting them we didn't hit their car head on. We hit with the most force and damage going to the front passenger side corner. Good for them, but bad for me. The car we hit had 2 people, a guy in the passenger seat and a girl driving. He crawls out through the driver side. He was fine except he had a cut on his leg. There was a man and lady that were pulling out of the neighborhood about the time the accident happened. They come over to check on everyone. I try to call my mom but she was in the tanning bed and didn't answer. Becca calls 911. Since I couldn't get a hold of my mom I called Caleb. He was still at work but left immediately to come to the wreck. I kept calling my mom and finally get a hold of her. Becca was pretty shaken up. I was hurt but not crying. Then the firetrucks get there and start checking me out and asking if I need to go to the hospital. And that is when I lose it. I start balling and crying. They bring the stretcher over I get on it and they strap me up and load me into the ambulance. I am still freaking out. The EMT keeps telling me to calm down. My mom finally gets there and she starts telling me to calm down. However, I am terrified of ambulances. I have never been in a wreck. So, people telling me to calm down didn't work. Then I leave in the ambulance going to the hospital. Caleb gets there to comfort Becca and help my mom with everything. The people we hit had no insurance and had just paid off their car. The guy was still complaining about his leg bleeding, and the policewoman tells him that happens when you have been drinking. Alcohol thins the blood. Oh, yeah there were beer cans in the car. He was probably drunk. We don't know if they did a breathalizer on her. The firemen manage to pull the fender off of the tire and Caleb drives it to Wreck Tech. Then mom and Becca take him home to get his truck to go back to work. Some friends of Becca and Caleb dropped him off. I am not sure if my mom called Mr. Mike (Caleb's dad) or if Caleb did. He was in Huntsville and goes to the hospital to check on me. They take me to x-ray to make sure nothing is broke. Nothing was broke. The doctor gives me a prescription for loritab and a muscle relaxer. I took some last night after eating dinner. I still hurt, just not as much. My back, neck, chest, and stomach are very tight and sore. I have a bruise across my chest from the seat belt. Today, I woke up took a shower to get ready to go to church. I started moving too quickly and didn't eat or drink anything before getting in the shower and then I start to get dizzy and light headed. I then eat a cinnamon roll to get my sugar up and so I can take my medicine. We get to church and the medicine starts to kick in. I start feeling hot and dizzy. So I sit down during the praise songs. I don't remember much of anything from the sermon or the songs. There was a Baptist joke, that was all I remember. The preacher asked someone to turn to a certain verse and he said the first one that got to it must have been really good at the baptist bible drills as a child. Anyway, I tell mom there is no way I can make it through Sunday school. So we leave and go home. I then began to feel worse and threw up. I then take a nap. The Roger's call after church and ask if we want to go get lunch. So we leave and at this point I am still feeling okay. Very weak and tired but okay. Right before the food gets there I start to feel sick again. Then I go back out and decide that my stomach isn't stable enough for catfish and french fries and I ask the waitress to pack it up. Then I feel sick again and go to the bathroom and throw up. When we got back home I take another nap. I ate dinner and managed to keep it down. I haven't takend anymore medicine. Foster's mom is a nurse and said I should take some before I go to bed but I need to eat a good bit with it. I am fixing to take some Aleve. The next couple of days at work are not going to be fun. Oh, and I am still trying to pack my stuff up to move out on Saturday. And we now don't have the 4runner to use. I think I am going to get my Grandad to help move stuff. I hurt all over. This sucks. Luckily, I was wearing my seat belt. I would have probably gone through the window or at least bust it if I hadn't been wearing my seat belt. Current Mood: sore (3 Comments |Comment on this)

7:47 pm	this is for meredith franks and jessica. I called the action card office to get my bama cash back. You have to mail or fax them a letter saying you graduated and would like a refund. The lady I talked to said it would take 2-3 weeks to get the money. Just thought you would like to know! (4 Comments |Comment on this)

10:53 pm	Okay so here are my lists of favorite books. And being the teacher that I am there is an adult book list and a children's book list. Y'all will have children and wonder about what to read to them. Adult Book List 1. To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee. I absolutely love being Southern (as evident by other books on the list) and this is the book about it. 2. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I don't really have much of a reason. I just liked it, and I think it would be fun to live during the 1920's. 3. The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love by Jill Conner Browne. A very Southern book about these women in Jackson, Mississippi who dress up in green sequin dresses, fishnets, heels, and red wigs to march in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Jackson. She talks about all things Southern and it is hilarious. I would also recommned reading God Save the Sweet Potato Queens, The Sweet Potato Queens' Big Ass Cookbook (and Financial Planner), and The Sweet Potato Queens' Field Guide to Men: Every Man I Love Is Either Married, Gay, or Dead. 4. The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. I love everything of his that I have read, but this is definitely my favorite. I would also recommned The Rescue and A Bend in the Road. 5. We're Just Like You Only Prettier by Celia Rivenbark. The author writes a very funny column in North Carolina about all things Southern. Her books are just a compilation of short essays. Her other books are Bless Your Heart Tramp and Stop Dressing Your Six Year Old Like A Skank. 6. Eating the Cheshire Cat by Helen Ellis. Yet again a Southern book. It is an odd book, but I really liked it. 7. He's Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt. I know everyone has read the book, but sometimes I like to read it to remind myself of what I deserve. And it reminds me of how a guy should act. 8. Do You Think I'm Beautiful? by Angela Thomas. A religous book that I read when I am frustrated with guys. A nice reminder to put God first and that He had a reason for making me the way I am. Those are all the books I can think of right now. Children's Books 1. Matilda/ The Witches by Roald Dahl. I couldn't pick a #1. I love them both. The Witches is a fun, little bit scary book about real life witches that want to rid the world of children. Matilda is a book about a special little girl, her crazy parents, her very scary principal Ms. Trunchbull, and her wonderful teacher Miss Honey. I loved it since I was little and I wanted to be like Miss Honey. 2. Charlotte's Web by E. B. White 3. Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parrish. 4. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Anything by Eric Carle 5. Olivia by Ian Falconer. All of the Olivia books. Olivia is a very demanding pig with a wild imagination. 6. Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park. Junie B. is a wild and slightly bratty kindergartener written from Junie B.'s point of view. 7. The Cat and Hat by Dr. Seuss. Anything by Dr. Seuss 8. There's A Nightmare in My Closet by Mercer Mayer. Really anything by Mercer Mayer (he also wrote the little critter books. 9. Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin. Anything by Doreen Cronin. The cows want electric blankets and the ducks on the farm are very mischevious. 10. A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. 11. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus by Mo Willems. A very persisten pigeon wants to drive a bus. 12. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff 13. Miss Nelson is Missing by Harry Allard The wild class's teacher disappears and they have an awful substitute. 14. Berenstain Bears by Stan and Jan Berenstain 15. Are You My Mother? by P. D. Eastman. A bird doesn't know who his mother is and asks everything he sees if she is his mother. 16. Crysanthemum by Kevin Henkes. A little mouse goes to school and her classmates make fun of her name. Anything by Kevin Henkes. 17. Frog and Toad by Arnold Lobel. 18. Where the Sidewalk Ends/A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein. By far the best poetry I have ever read. 19. Curious George by H. A. and Margaret Rey 20. Skippyjon Jones by Judy Schachner. A mischevious siamese cats believes he is a Spanish sword fighting chihuaha. Now I am tired from thinking about my favorite books.

9:49 pm	I cried when I was driving away from the house. I want to go back to Tuscaloosa. I don't want to be an adult. Last night was great. It was great to be able to go out and have fun with everyone one last time. Well, it won't be the last time. We will need to come back and have reunions this fall. I am looking forward to the lake. The only good thing about graduating is the presents. I have money for furniture. My mom and sister got me 3 Daniel Moore prints. I have Rocky Stop (from the UT game), the Catch (Prothro), and the Last Pass (Cotton Bowl) all from the 2005 season. I miss everyone! Current Mood: sad (Comment on this)

11:45 pm	I like how everyone is updating their live journals. Too bad nothing has changed. Graduation is freaking me out. People asking me about jobs makes me feel very uncomfortable. Also, people commenting about how they know I am so excited about graduation. I wish someone would just give me a job. I also keep hearing about other girls getting teaching jobs. AGH! I wish I could put life on pause. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:37 pm	I am very sad that school is almost over (real school and kindergarten). Finding a job terrifies me. Seriously. I want to teach kindergarten or at least lower grades, but I am afraid I won't find a lower grade job. I am starting to not care so much about what school as long as it isn't ghetto inner city. I figure it might be fun to teach in a rural area. I just don't really want to teach far far away from where I live. I am also very worried about being all by myself and not adjusting to life after college. At least I have football tickets to come back and visit. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:39 pm	so it is super scary that we are 1/4 the way done with our last semeseter of school! and there are 3 months and 1 week until graduation! yikes! It is weird that sometimes I am excited about the future and other times I am absolutely petrified! Spring Break has me worried. I feel like we will be much wilder this year, and we might just get into some trouble. I need to stop worrying. I need someone to be my daily reminder to not worry. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:31 pm	apartment hunt well, there is a tenative budget. Well, I budgeted everything I could think of. Mom helped. I went and looked at this really nice apartment on Friday, too bad when the rent factored into the budget there would be a surplus of $33. not much, obviously. So, I found some apartments that are about $105 cheaper. And I paid the deposit today and the application fee. good-bye $285! The budget has me stressed beyond belief. The apartment situation has me stressed beyond belief. The apartments seem safe. They are at the top of this very big hill, and there is only one way to get in and out. I wish there was a gate. I am still very worried about how everything is going to work. I wonder how people without college or high school degrees make it. By the way, teachers are WAY under paid!

6:31 pm	Christmas and New Year's well I guess it is my turn to update. Mom has been mostly pleasant. We did have a rough day but that was all my sister's fault. She has been rude, cocky, and hateful. She has been hanging out with some of our cousins and they aren't good influences. She has been treating her boyfriend AJ badly. Christmas was good. I got some things for my apartment from my cousin. I got a new ipod (my old one was not working very good), some children's books, some bama plates, the big bama veggie and dip platter. I also got the first 2 seasons of grey's anatomy. Lately, I have been trying to prepare for the apartment. I have been looking at apartments and trying to compare different apartments. I have tried to create a list of things I need for my apartment. We went shoppping for apartment stuff last week and I have a lot of stuff for my kitchen. Right now I am trying to look at furniture and prices and save every penny I have. Saving money is one reason I decided to not drink on new year's. A bunch of us (Meredith, Laurie, Stephanie, Nikki, and Lynn) went downtown for new year's and I was the designated driver. Lynn also drove because she is 9 months pregnanat and was due 2 days ago. I am still weirded out by her going out for new year's when she is 9 months pregnant but whatever. We didn't stay out too late for new year's. We got some upsetting news and called an end to the night early. We got home around 1 AM. My life has pretty much revolved around how I am going to live after graduation. It kinda worries me. How much is the deposit from the theta house? Is it possible to take out a loan from a bank for no specific reason? My goal for next semester is to not spend money. ever. Oh, I am very ready to be back in Tuscaloosa. I think we should go out Monday night. Maybe the houndstooth for the ohio state/florida game? Current Mood: worried (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:15 pm	I wonder if I expect too much from my friends or maybe they are just being a disappointment. I feel like I need my friends a lot right now and they are all bailing on me. I wish I could be a kid again; life was simple and fun back in the day. (Comment on this)
