ooops, I think I'm in love

... with a computer.  It's a problem!

Ok, not really but it has been AGES since I updated my blog and as I sit here in the STAC at Wright State U waiting for my DVD to burn it seems like a good time for an update.  Right?!?!

SO... hmmm... well, I don't update my blog because really my life isn't all that interesting... AT ALL.  This spring was full of substitute teaching and Target.  Thrilling.  I did manage two trips to Massachusetts, which were pretty great!  On the second trip I got to do awesome things like hang out in Boston and ride the duck boats and eat cannoli and hang out with a friend that makes me smile a lot and sit on my butt and drink coffee, OH and go to my cousin's wedding(which was lovely).  Fabulous.  I got to see a dear friend from Brazil in Dayton for a few hours which was crazy, but good.  I baked a lot of brownies.  Ummmm... I climbed trees once and went on a couple day hikes... but mostly I just subbed and folded shirts and hung out.  See?  Thrilling!

Today finds me starting week 4 of working as the Assistant Coordinator of Discovery/Odyssey for the Office of Precollege Programs at Wright State.  I write it all out like that to make it seem epically important... but really I make videos and make sure kids don't hurt themselves at rec/lunch/swimming/extended care.  Its like daycamp/summer school... but I'm here so of course it is way cooler than those things.  =)  I spend a lot of time in the STAC working on iMovie and I tell you what... I need to find a real job so I can get me a mac... I am in love with this computer!  (Maybe I'll try to steal it... seems like I could just walk out with it right?!)

So, yeah, that's what's new in my little corner of the world.  I am still trying hard to find a teaching job ANYWHERE, but being an overeducated, semi experienced gal isn't really working in my favor.  I'm still hopeful but making contingency plans just in case... important things like maybe hiking out in Colorado or New Hampshire or Maine or... ANYWHERE... you know, important back up plans that SHOULD involve getting health insurance or a steady income but instead involve saving up as much as possible and then hanging out in the woods.  I'm a realist!  hahaha

The next couple of months are gonna be unpredictable, but who knows.... maybe something epic will happen.  I could find a JOB, move somewhere exciting, or go on an adventure. I'll let you know!  But for now, I'm still here in Dayton, trying to pry myself off of this computer and hoping the sun comes out today.

Hope your day is full of warm sun and smiles!
