Memorial Day Weekend!

I wish I could have 4 day weekends all the tiiiiime.

I'm becoming addicted to the beach. That's the only place I want to go to. I feel like I plan my days so that I make time for the beach! haha. We've only been twice this summer, but I already can't wait for the next time we go back!

It's been really great hanging out & bonding with friends. It's also been really awesome being so lazy. I love Netflix. I'm watching films & tv shows that I should have watched a long time ago.... haha. Getting all caught up on my pop culture!

Teaching is going all right. I was super stoked about it at the beginning of the term, but now... it's like I've learned that the students are just not as stoked about the material as I am. So it's getting a little difficult to be as excited as I was before. But we'll see what this week brings.

summmmmeeerrrrrrr.....

Yay for summer! I've finally finished my 1st year & have made it to being a SECOND YEAR. oh em gee.

Summer is going super well. Right now, I'm teaching ORI (Oral Interpretation of Literature) & teaching 5 students, which is actually really awesome. I thought it might be awkward having a small class, but it's really great. They get more individual focus. I teach ORI next year, 3 times a week for 50 minutes each, so I'm wary of how I'm gonna pull off teaching this class. 50 minutes will FLY BY.

But let's not focus on that. I have a few more weeks with these kids, so I'll make the most of it!

That's been a goal of mine this summer: Live in the present.

Other goals:

• READ! I've borrowed like 20 books from the library, haha. I also want to read more novels. Plays can get so mind-numbing after a while.
• GET FIT! Joshua is my coach when it comes to fitness & I'm actually not resisting working out as much as I used to. In fact, after this, I'm gonna go out for a run. :)
• BLOG. & be consistent. haha. Let's see how long I keep this up.
• EXPLORE. All year I haven't explored all that FL has to offer. Well, as much as possible, anyway. Josh & I did go to Orlando, but I have yet to visit DisneyWorld & Harry Potter Land. BUT we did go to the beach last weekend, which was AMAZING. That picture above is from the beach. oh em gee. I've never seen such white sand & such a beautiful beach.

Florida is truly beautiful.
& I am so blessed to be here!

This summer, I'm acting in Oedipus in the Chorus & as a featured servant. I'm pretty stoked. It's been a lot of fun so far. We also need to put on another play during Summer B, so we'll see what else is in store for me this summer!

The Summer sessions are split into 3 categories here at UF: Summer A is the first half of the summer, Summer B is the 2nd half, and Summer C is both halves together. I know, it seems odd. But whatev. I've learned to just go with the flow here.

Well, gotta go head out for my run before it gets too hot. Then later, Oedipus rehearsal! :)

Josh & I happy at the beach [Fort Matanzas]!

My girls & me: Katie & Dee! But we're missing our other grad. sister, Jaz. Next time!
