summer so far

my summer is turning out to be pretty rad.

my internship is awesome.  well the training is awesome so far.

there are nine of us total.  i adore three.  am cool with two.  ok with three.  no hate, yet.

patrick and i actually get to spend time together. and it's been awesome.

i see more of my friends (except brandy for some weird reason....why is that brandy?)

emily and evan are getting married in a year and i get to be in the wedding!!!!

only crap thing that happened so far is mine and patrick's bikes were stolen a couple weeks ago.  we both have since obtained new bikes, but still it was a big bummer.

this week:
-kick ball
-work work work for three days in a row (its going to be rough)
-three on friday? floaties and bathing suits?
-brunch at comet

it's been awhile

i'm so close to being done.

so so so close.

so close that i have laxed in my duties as a student teacher.  i went to class in jeans and a fleece (yes i own fleece, get over it).  i didnt write up a formal lesson plan.  and the entire time i was biking to school i kept thinking today my professor will show up.

and he did.

i about shit a brick.  instantly my back is hot and i panic.  

should i write a lesson plan quick for the last three days?
should i explain why i am dressed down (dirty jeans, fleece, old tennis shoes)?

lie. truth. lie. truth.

truth.  but not freely offered. only given if asked.

as students file into the classroom, i stall them by handing out grade reports and pull certain "trouble" students aside bribing them with candy if they behave today.  

me: please please please watch your language today
student: why? (smirking)
me: my professor is here
student: oh....
me: if you can go the entire hour without swearing then i will give you candy
student: (laughs) ok miss burke

bribing a success.

after class my professor asks me general "how are you doing?" questions and leaves. 


Now it's time for a job.  But I have a huge decision to make first.

do i buy a car?  

if i don't then i need a job close.

if i do then i can get a job anywhere.

if i dont then i will potentially be saving a lot of money and save for when i can really afford a car.

if i do i will have to get a good job and have no money.

do i. or dont i.
