Testing, testing...

Mmm...new blog smell!

T-minus 6 days until Induction in St. Louis and only 13 days until Institute starts in L.A.! Holy crap I have a lot of work to do before I head to the West Coast.

The 8 days post-graduation have flown by. I feel like I graduated and then it is today and I don't remember what happened in between. I know my mom and I looked at houses (for her) and I saw Kels and Kyle and went to Noah's Ark- but could that have really taken 8 days? Man-o-man, I miss K. But like Kels said, it is better that I miss it and remember it fondly than hate it and never want to go back. It's the people more than anything that I miss at K, especially Pie Hole and Hippo and the Feminist Fun group. Those were good times.

It's hard to imagine in less than two months, the State of Missouri and Teach for America and a school district have the confidence in me to teach actual children actual lessons in order to catch them up or help them get ahead. I'm not going to lie, I bought an "English Grammar for Dummies" workbook the other day just so I can brush up on the basics before I have to teach them. Let's hope I survive the summer teacher boot camp and moving and all that in order to use the workbook skills!

On the docket for this week:
-TFA Pre-Institue Work
-Book apartment showings for next week
-Get approved for an auto loan
-Go car shopping
-Hang out with best friend, brand new nurse Kelsey :)
-Date on Thursday with Kyle ;)
-Head out on Saturday for the STL!

That's all for now- I have to get cracking on that list!
