A delayed response to being tagged...

Apparently I was tagged so here it goes!



Okay, here are the rules...

1. When tagged place the name of the person that tagged you and URL on your blog.
Not going to lie but I don't think I know how to do this...seriously haha. So Adriel tagged me...no link..sorry!

2. Post rules on your blog.
DONE

3. Write 6 (or 7) non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.

-I like grammar. It is embarrassing and true. Some people actually call me the Queen of grammar. I guess it is a good thing cause I am an English teacher, but my grammar nerdiness is something I try to hide

-I loathe when people drive with their signal lights on...sometimes I have to hold myself back from ramming them. Just think of the headline "the grammar queen gets roadrage"

-I believe I was adopted..I still wait for the day when my parents get up the courage to break it to me

-I love the Christy Miller and Sierra Jensen book series. I almost peed my pants when I found out that Robin Jones Gunn finally decided to write another book...I can't wait to read what the gang has been up to!

-I still remember every step to the airband I did in eighth grade to "Everybody" by the Backstreet Boys

-I can't live without diet soda

-I burnt my hand with hot honey in January and have a terrible scar on my hand.People always give me a crazy look when I say I burnt my hand with honey...woe is me!

4. Name 6 (or 7) of your favorite blogs.
Because of my incompetence these will not be links

Leah (she has gone blog buck wild and I LOVE it)
Adriel (she is short...well enough said)
Naarah (soo funny!)
Perez Hilton (guilty pleasure)
BB9 Dish (an even guiltier pleasure)


5. Send an email/comment on their blog letting them know they have been tagged.
Well everyone who blogs that I know has done this..I just did it cause I was tagged!

Education Grad

Well no exciting hobby yet, but I will keep you posted.

I am quickly nearing the end of my university career, and I could not be happier. I am done classes on April 7 and will be finished finals on April 22. Things are looking up! I am soo excited to be done school. I have sent out all my applications for teaching jobs and I am just waiting to see what will happen with that. It is a very exciting time.
This past Friday I had my education grad banquet. I have my big convocation still in May but our banquet was this past weekend. I thought I would post some photos. Enjoy!




There was two hours of speeches..note how impressed we are


We loved the centerpieces


More centerpiece fun




This crazy guy was at a different party then we were...note the speedo and watershoes...scary!

Back by "popular" demand...

So I guess I have not blogged since September…I received emails everyday from people begging me to start blogging again. Apparently my lack of blogging has been hard on people!
Ok so I have not received one blog related email during my hiatus but still I know everyone has been waiting with baited breath…So now everyone can breathe easy cause I am BACK.
I shall start blogging more. I think I need to start doing more exciting things so I can blog about them. Hmmm..maybe I will have to take up a weird hobby. Only time will tell…

Gone...

I believe my ability to sleep in is now gone. Every morning I have to pull myself out of bed after hitting the snooze button atleast four times. Getting up to get ready for school is a chore. Now, only after having to get up for 1 week at 6am my body seems to have switched around. I have tried to switch my body around my entire life...to no avail and now suddenly its doing it on its own?! The past two mornings I have planned to sleep in and the latest I have been able to sleep till is 7am. Crazy! Absolutely crazy! I fear that I am turning into a morning person.

Back to School....

Tomorrow morning I start back to school. I have a one day orientation for my internship at the university and then on Monday I start in the highschool. Crazy! Tomorrow is the only day I will be on campus for the entire semester. I am so excited to spend this entire next semester as a teacher. It's weird... I have my own desk in my classroom and everything. I have a closet full of professional clothing. I will be called Miss Britton until Christmas. It all feels a little too surreal right now. It feels like I am gearing up for a giant game of dressup and make believe!
I am defiently ready to go back to school. (Even though I start two weeks before all of other friends in Uni..why does highschool have to start so early?) I have been waiting for my final year of university since my first year haha. I am so excited that I am almost done! I've convinced myself that I only have one semester left because this one doesn't really count cause I'm not on campus. So here's to one semester of 'pretending' to be a teacher and more semester of university work!

Fiesta photos...

I am home from holidays...I would have never left but unfortunately I couldn't find a physiotherapist that would follow me to my cabin..so sad! Here are a few photos from the fiesta my friend Laura and I hosted...

Some of my family dressed as a Mexican Band and even wrote a song for the occasion

What became of my beautiful pinata. I think it made a great hat!

Laura and I manning the Bar!

Probably my best Ebay buy ever..a four foot inflatable margarita glass haha
