Gorgeous Saturday
Oh hi there! So despite my superstitions regarding 2011, it seems that this year is off to a really good start! Home teams were announced and I am on the team I wanted to be on (Babes of Wrath just sounds so much more fierce than Cannery Rollers--though both are rad names), even though I feel that their team is stacked compared to ours. Aaaaand, I made the All-Star Travel Team! In addition to that, my 7th graders are still pretty cool, and there's a chance they're switching my 4/5th period class from the stupid scripted program to a transitional 7th grade class that uses the core curriculum. SCORE! I was also appointed as the head Fresh Meat coach for the league :) And and AND I have three TA's this semester, so I have less work to grade--only the really important assignments.
Despite the grading I have looming over me at the moment, I am in a cheery mood. I woke up and went on a 7 mile skate with some of my girls along the coastal rec trail under a gorgeous sun and beautiful weather, had a good lunch with my Fresh Meat committee, shopped a little with Rack, and really just enjoyed this gorgeous Saturday. Later, I'm going salsa dancing for the first time to celebrate the birthdays of two of my derby girls. I hope you all are enjoying your weekends just as much <3

Welcome, 2011
I'm superstitious about some silly things, and I have this weird thing where I believe that January 1st is sort of a microcosm of what how the year will go. I know it's silly, but I can't help but enter 2011 with trepidation because I spent January 1st in bed. I've been sick since Tuesday, off and on. I've had weird stomach pains and I'm not sure what is causing them. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come this year. I really, truly hope that 2011 is awesome. I haven't had an "awesome" year in a while. I have a teacher work day tomorrow and the kids come back Tuesday. I'm really not looking forward to it, though I did find that I missed most of my students over this break.
I do already know that there will be some positive points this year: we're forming home teams and are going to have our first derby season! I also got new skates for Christmas and will be breaking them in!
Some things I'm all about right now: Ben Harper, The Big Bang Theory, and Butternut Squash soup. And the nerd in me is smiling at the alliteration in that list :)
