Got an interesting phone call at 5 today

And it was from my graduate advisor, the one who got me into the program at OSU. She was desperate for another staffer to teach some block III undergrads in ECE. So you are reading the blog of the new graduate assistant teacher of the reading assessment course for the ECE block. I'm updating my resume as we speak, but this will add another 10 hours of GTA stuff to my load and will give me another three hours of credit comped, that I don't have to pay for. My mind is racing now for all I have to teach future teachers. All the wisdom I have to impart to them about teaching in the first years. I do have my reading license after all. I did spend three years of my life assessing fourth and fifth graders reading comprehension and fluency skills. I did spend I year of my life teaching reading in English to speakers of Korean on the Kindergarten level. I can do this. I am excited. I am also looking forward to my upcoming road trip with C. I am sad to leave him for the months up to Thanksgiving, but I look forward to the week of road tripping to his brother's home in Indiana and I think we're going to hit up Mammoth Cave in Kentucky along the way. He's going to help me get settled in Stillwater and then it will be ready, set, work work work until the semester's over. I'm ready. I think.

C sent this too me today

And it pretty much sums me up in a web comic. Such the lady I am...

Thought for the day

I'm going to try to keep the following in mind as I go to complete CrossFit workout #2 today. Here's hoping I don't die. Or pull something wrong. Or hospitalize myself. (Photo credit: Weight Watchers.)

Found this and looks like a good idea....maybe

Worth a shot....

Great Shows that Go Off the Air: Post #1

Scrubs.

I loved this show. Not so much when it was on the air, but when it was on Netflix and I was unemployed, I binged-watched this show like it was nobody's business. This scene is classic. Love me some Turk. :)

Going to weigh in today

It's been a bad week, but I know I have to do it to stay on track. I'm not expecting to lose any but I hope I maintained. I can break this plateau. I have to get down to 10 lbs lost before leaving for OK! :) I'm currently at 7. Being honest with the blogger world. Ewww. I can sit here and make excuses for why, but I'm not going to. Instead, I'm going to haul ass down to a WW meeting and just do it. :) (I always feel better after meetings!)

This is what happens when I have free time.

What do I do? I make collaged wine bottles. Want one? They're pretty snazzy. Get one while they last. They may not be gems, but I have fun doing it, and it keeps my mind of the crazy that's about to come my way. Very anxious about this move and drive, even though I should be because C is coming with me and we're going to make an awesome drive and road trip out of it, even visiting his brother going out of out way to southern Indiana for a bit. But I digress. This is all one bottle, I have many more to do, but I won't give you a number because that would indicate how much of an alcoholic I have become, Just Kidding. These were all pictures from magazines I have saved over the years (see mom, I'm not a total packrat/hoarder!) and some mod podge and gloss finish.

What crafty endeavors have my blog readers gotten into this month/year? Comment with pictures! :)
