Back at it

1) I made it through today. For the most part, the students were kind and worked with me.
2) My Spanish 2 students are champs and I love it when they ask for my help. 
3) I only have 13 days left of teaching!
4) I have 11 days left of snack duty (my job for the afterschool clubs).
5) I'm going to try to donate tomorrow (and hopefully I can because then I can get my 6 donations for the month and will get a bonus and a small prize)! Also - I posted two days in a row! Score!

Can't keep me down!

1) I survived the weekend (working on Friday 8 am to Saturday 1:40 am, raging migraine that made me throw up, and an ER visit).
2) I got to go to the Nihon Matsuri. ^ ; ^
3) My ER visit was less painful then the other times I've been (I got in quickly and was helped quickly as well).
4) I got to watch my mom help another woman. She and her daughter had fallen down the stairs and she was panicking. My mom parked her car so she would bring herself and the 18 month old in. (Turns out she just lost a baby and was frantic about her daughter dying. :c) I'm so glad I got to see my mother in action. She's such an amazing woman. She asked me if it was ok if she left me and went to help. <3
5) I got to watch a movie with my mom, Nadia, and Jean-Mi yesterday night. We watched a movie I just bought (edited) and we really enjoyed it. It was a good thriller. :)

We are all connected in some form of unseen energy... think how those around you will impact you and make you feel if they were happy?” ― Al Munoz

Fantastic news!

1) I'm FINALLY finished with my certification class. I finished yesterday and now I'm back. (Sorry for the neglect - I've been busy out of my mind!)
2) I got to see Kenna, Mathias, and Ellie!
3) I have 3.5 weeks of teaching left (of this school year that is). Then we have testing (I only proctor), then summer school (which I will teach but it's only a month)!
4) I found a grad program I REALLY want to do and I don't have to take the GRE to get in! WAHOO!
5) I found out my school will pay for one of my praxis tests (I have to take three this summer and they are a bit pricy). 
6) I got to play guitar tonight! (I didn't have time last night.)
7) Yoga is going really well. I think I will try to join a studio for the summer. :D
8) I love my new mint mud all natural (Terressentials) shampoo! It's SO nice! Makes my hair and scalp feel amazing.
9) I have gotten to spend my last four workouts at the gym with my BFF! :D
10) I've been helping with prom. It's been a little nuts on top of everything else I'm doing, but I feel great that the student who is in charge trusts me enough to ask for my feedback and help. It's this Friday.
11) The Nihon Matsuri is this Saturday in SLC. I'm really excited for it but also a little nervous. I am worried it will make me miss Japan even more. However, I am SUPER excited to go! I'll likely end up going with Abbey and her sisters. (Sort of means I don't have a weekend again - I haven't for a month or so where I just get to do nothing and unwind... but I LOVE Japan so I expect to have a lot of fun!)
