At the risk of sounding corny...all good things come to an end.

I've never been one that adapts well to change. With that said, the last day of school and the few following have been interesting. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving my time off, but it hasn't hit me yet that I won't be receiving some hugs on Monday and giggling at the ridiculous things elementary school students say.

I'd love to showcase some cute pictures of a few *cough cough* favorite students, but that isn't exactly legal. So instead here's the tiny, yet amazing desk I got to work at everyday.

It's like I was never there. Wah! 

What will I do with all those beautiful works of art, you may ask. Well, the pack rat that lives within me has them sitting on the floor in our living room. Decisions, decisions.

I have some great memories to look back on and am really looking forward to a new year with new kindergartners! But for now, it's time to enjoy the summatime.

Ze Beginning!

Blogging. Tis the new thing...or so I'm told. My best friend has been my inspiration. After reading her blog for a few months now (and anxiously awaiting new posts on a daily basis), I figured, why not? I've been feeling a bit like a pile ever since graduating last May and it's almost as if my brain has begun to decay. So perhaps this is one way I can attempt to keep it sharp. On top of that, my life after my work day consists of nothing exciting. My day goes something like this: wake up, work, workout (mossst days), eat, watch some trashy TV, and hit the sheets...repeat. Hopefully this will add a little somefin' somefin' to mi vida and keep my creative juices flowing.

Just a few things about me to get the blog-a-going. I am a recent (how long is it acceptable to say recent for when you graduated in May?) graduate of the University of Minnesota and currently serving for the Minnesota Reading Corps. What is that, you may insightfully ask. I'll get to it later. I'm a big fan of the usual stuff (the "ussg" as I like to call it)...doing fun shit with my friends, eating, sleeping, working out. The ussg. Other than that, I really enjoy being sarcastic (hopefully if you follow this you'll learn to sense the tone), speaking in an accent to my Mom and to any friends that will tolerate it, trying to expand my repertoire of cooking abilities, and perfecting my singing voice.

I'm kind of going at this with an open mind and want to write about anything and everything that strikes a chord with me. A good amount will probably have to do with what was mentioned above. But stay tuned, I'm an 'anything can happen' kind of girl.

This friend of mine, by the way, has an amazing blog (as previously stated). And I encourage anyone who is reading mine to check hers out as well. She da bomb.

As my Grandpa says (every.single.time. I've ever spoken with him on the phone), bye for now.
