So much is going on in my life and the funny thing is no one knows the truth.
Don't we all wish our lives were perfect?
I wish there was no drama;
I wish people's feelings didn't get hurt;
I wish it wasn't always about them;
I wish I didn't have to pay someone to listen to me talk about how I feel;
I wish I would fall in love and have a family;
I wish I didn't care what people thought of me;
I wish I didn't have to constantly think about my weight;
I wish I was rich so I could do whatever I wanted!!
Now if only a genie would appear...

STRESSED!!
I am just praying that I make it through this week. I thought my schedule/workload was lighter during the summer months? Not the case. I am running around just as much as I do during the school year. Not to mention that I am dating, therefore I have to fit so much more in with no extra time.
On a happy note I went to see BANZAI UNDERGROUND last night. A fabulous cover band. Theye are so good and had a nice crowd last night in Old Town. Good times. I try so hard to enjoy myself however, in the back of my head i'm thinking I should be home doing homework. Maybe i'll bring that up in counseling this week.
I took two Pilates workshops yesterday that were much needed. It gave me the boost to get back to studying but I have to make it through my grantwriting course 1st. Two more weeks and I can breathe. I can do it! I can do it!

so little time....
It's been so long since I've written. Well, I started my summer school class, the one that I am taking, and OMG what was I thinking. It meets once a week for a month and it's all day. So a lot of work is done and a lot of outside work is done. It took me 3-4 days to write a 2 page letter for a grant proposal. I was and still am extremely stressed about it. Also because I want a good grade of course. Anyway I just emailed it in. It's due tonight at 10pm but I have to work and didn't want anything to happen or to make excuses like my students do.
My friend "A" teaches a class before mine and she was having an email fight with one of her students last night. It was about attendance/tardies and the policy. The student was absent the first day of class (cough) when it was discussed. If she read the syllabus she could have easily been filled in but no. She stated that "A" didn't understand what they (the students) go through in the mornings on the way to school. Well "A" gets to school? She seems to make it on time. I am not understanding the problem. Anyway the kind of people we both are she's extremely bothered by it. We want everyone happy and don't want to be bullied for grades. That is exactly what kids today try to do. It's horrible.
Next, I'm FAT! I don't know what's happening. I needs to lose 3 pds by Saturday but I don't see it happening. I think I could definitely do 2 pds. We'll see. I have just been lax and not working out like I should. I busted out the pilates workout this morning. I want to do a speed walk or something (I don't run) but it's so darn hot! Obviously the little workout I do while I'm teaching is not cutting it. Speaking of my class I have one student I want gone. She is so annoying and makes comments that are rude. She's older so I am not sure she's aware they are rude. Oh and she's NOT GETTING CREDIT! Do I really need to put up with her?
One a happy note I have been dating this guy for a couple weeks. We had 2 official dates and one night I went out to see his band. So far so good. I am seeing him again this weekend. He's great. A total gentleman and our dates are all day long. It's nice to finally want to spend time with someone. Okay gotta get ready to teach the children.

So Far So Good!
Things are going well. My coffee date was great and lasted 5 hours. We had coffee, walked around and then went to see a movie. He's a grown up and I love that. It was nice to have a date with someone who has their crap together and isn't jealous that you have yours together. So stay tuned to see how all of this plays out.
The class I am teaching this summer is great. The students have really improved. I would love to say it was my teaching skills but they have also worked very hard:) It's also nice that they have class 4 days a week for 2 hours a day. The students that are putting in the effort will definitely get the reward. I have nothing to say about the slackers. I taught technique for the dance team tonight and so many of them were not there. So like I said above the ones that were there and putting in the effort will get the benefits. I am constantly researching new things and teaching techniques so I can keep it fresh!
My brother has moved back to the area. He got a job and so far so good. I hope he likes it and becomes successful in his new career.
I start my summer school class on Friday. I checked my email on Monday and there was an email from my professor with and assignment attached! Hello I know it's Grad School but I have to do work? before the class starts? Not only that but I have to present something orally! I can teach dance to a class of 35 but just stand up and talk? I don't know about all that. We'll see...
