I'd rather be blogging

I am working on finishing up (okay let me be honest starting and finishing up) my last papers and projects of the semester and it feels great! I added another three pages toward my 15 page paper due Wednesday and I have about 3 more pages to go to whip out tomorrow night! I guess the smart thing to do would be to continue working on those last three pages right now but in all honesty I would rather be blogging. :)

Chris has began working nights now. He has the 3-11 shift. It kind of reminds me of when he worked at AAA and would get home just as I was closing my last textbook of the night. Seems like this next week will be the same. I am excited for summer. Have I mentioned that in the last five posts. I guess you can tell it's been a longggg semester.

This past weekend we went to Newport, RI to visit the tourist shops and take a walk on the cliff walk along the ocean. It was a gorgeous day and I am so thankful I spent the day outdoors and of course near the ocean! I don't regret not doing my homework Saturday one bit! I know we took some pictures but I don't have any to post. I promise to try to have pictures in the next blog. Maybe one of me as I walk out of my last final in ten days!!

Short and Sweet

The rain kept falling today,

caught in the cruel storm again.

I embrace myself as I step foot outside

the bitter reality bites my face.

Another day of rain,

Another day of disappointment.

“Oh the sun will come out tomorrow”

I can’t even find the melody to that song anymore.

Beginning to forget how the sun feels on my pale freckled skin

and even when the days begin to dry,

no hope is found in the puddles,

only mud and disgust is left behind.

No beauty is bloomed from the flowers,

now beaten to the ground and broken.

The only hope and beauty is in tomorrow

And what it may bring us,

That is—if you continue on for tomorrow.

Did you notice Spring Break ended?

If you didn't notice--Spring Break officially ended 3 weeks ago and I have been swamped in preparing lesson plans, papers, projects, portfolios and parties. Not enough parties though! I am done with my math lessons and I have two geography lessons left to teach! Woo hoo! Then just wrapping everything up! I really don't have any plans for summer yet but man I cannot wait! I think a part of me is actually excited to work full time and stack up the bills in my bank!

I am loving my new hair cut! Inspired by Chris, the lady in the hair magazine and the cool guy with pink hair at JCPennys who enjoyed cutting my hair way too much!

That's all for now! Short and Sweet just like me <3
