L: This summer has definitely been one of my most relaxing since I officially started teaching. That's a great feeling to have [Also, I am LOVING the blog design Miss. Johnston (Now Mrs. Paull) has done for me. GLITTER! She's in process right now of uploading, etc]
T: I got a job in a new bigger district so I have ALL the nerves
W: I have so much left on my summer bucket list!
N: My house is a mess - I need to throw away/donate stuff, organize files, just generally get my butt in GEAR.
RAK: This is my favorite idea and something I try to implement throughout the school year. I did this last year and it went over well, instant coffee with a tag saying - let's put our now to the grind and have a latte fun - cheesy I know ;)
In case you don't know, some of you are no-reply bloggers. That means I can't quickly email you a reply. Check through the wonderful Megan's (Teaching Superpower) tutorial here! You might not see my reply and that would be sad :(
Linking up with Farley at Oh Boy 4th Grade for this month's Currently. It's already July and that BLOWS my mind!
Listening: Has the ticking always been this loud?!
Loving: Man, I need this break. It's been amazing to do NOTHING school-related. YET. Now it's crunch time since July is hitting.
Thinking: Time has been speeding by! It's been a month off school and I feel like I haven't accomplished anything on my to do list yet
Wanting: I've been yo-yoing with my weight loss and I need to get my butt in gear. SERIOUSLY. I was doing great - 80 pounds - but got cocky or something because been eating everything and not working out. SIGH.
Needing: More time. We all wish that, though? I need to learn to chill though and take it minute by minute. ENJOY it.
All STAR: I'd like to think I'm thoughtful, or so I've been told. I like making it a point to make sure I wish people on their birthday, I text them randomly, I bring them something if I see it and think of them, I try to make them feel better. I attempt to make sure people know they're loved <3
....seriously, I still can't process it's JULY. WHAT EVEN.
Most are self-explanatory. As for the wanting, it's 2:30 AM and I'm still up. It's Ramadan so technically I could be asleep, but I have to be up at 4 to eat and I've been sleeping late anyway, so I've just been staying up all night instead (waking up on 3 or 4 hours of sleep makes me super cranky). It's been three days. This may not last all month, but it's been okay so far. I'm getting about 5-6 total hours of sleep in the day, but since it's for the sake of my God, it works :)
As for a proper vacation - I want to go OUT. I don't mind relaxing at home, but it's more fun to be on a cool vacation - whether a busy city or out on the beach!
Gonna add Covered in Glitter and Glue's What I'm Loving Wednesday! It's my first time linking up but I love reading everyone else's things :)
I've been meaning to read this for a while, and it's pretty good! Still in the beginning part, but it's definitely well written. I hope I'm satisfied by the end of it!
I found these ADORABLE sticky notes at Wal Mart and they pretty much say my name! I'm all about the colorful chevron and zebra print :D
I bought a printer! It's a Brother MFC J450DW and it's pretty decent. The main reason I bought it was the planner sitting on top of it, not even going to lie. I'll have more details on the planner for next week's Monday Made It, but I needed a new printer anyway and this was at a decent price! Only downfall is after printing all that I'm already low on ink :( [the fast draft option kept jamming the paper and doing other silly things]
