-So for the longest time I had never been kissed (or rather never been kissed on the lips by a boy). I had one serious relationship but did not allow the person to kiss me. I don't think I ever felt completely comfortable with that person for some reason which is why it never happened. Now I am dating someone and have been kissed (first kiss on my birthday!). I really was not sure what to expect and it seemed odd at first, but then the more comfortable you feel with that person, it is really such a sweet way to express one's affections for someone else. Do I sound like I am in middle school or high school? :)

-I am such a slow grader.

One of the Greatest Feelings

When you do not have to do work from 7-12 PM at night, it seriously feels sooooo liberating. I feel like I am on top of the world. A small voice is saying I should use this time to start writing college recommendations. Another voice is saying - SLEEP EARLY!!!

Dun, Dun, Dun

The school year will start on Wednesday!!!!!!
I am a bit wary since all of my classes will be just ninth graders. They were the most needy of all students I taught and they also require teachers to be very creative in how to teach! I am so out of the loop as far as technology is concerned. In retrospect I could have engaged the students by having them do the learning themselves through interactive projects. The hard part is coming up with the ideas for these projects and how to implement the technology needed to accomplish the required goals.

-This past summer I got to sleep quite a bit (which is good). I became quite lazy too. Now it's time to step on the gas.

-I realized that I missed attending church once I started attending more regularly over the summer. I am hoping that I will be able to keep this commitment and not succumb to the Sunday blues, sleep deprivation, and stress.
