Friday

Ernie will be going home either tomorrow or Sunday. Remy will most likely go into a mourning slash depression stage for a few weeks. He was really starting to grow on me. He is now house-broken and has begun snoring in his sleep. Remy is losing a brother. 

Thursday

This is how I feel when I'm just trying to get some work done but I'm constantly being interrupted by VENITA COOPER!!!!

That's her shoe that's visible. Notice my level of productivity...her's is waaayyy less. 

Wednesday

Taylor Swift Concert!!!

We sent our picture in like thousands of other 13-year-olds to be put up on the big screens during the concert. For some reason (maybe because we're creepy old), our pictures were never shown. Therefore we did not win pit tickets. Amazing concert, though. 

Tuesday

My favorite new outfit from Anthropologie. Thanks mom!! 

Monday

A few weeks back, I took two students on a camping trip to Georgia. It turned out to be an amazing experience. I was placed with 5 other young, enthusiastic teachers, each of whom work way too much. Our students bonded and learned life skills on a high and low ropes course. We were "Team Yellow" and we definitely stood out throughout the weekend.

I can't count anymore...NEXT day

I got tickets from a great friend to go see Paul Simon. It. Was. Amazing. 

It was also Halloween. So, clearly only about 20 people (coincidentally, all those under the age of 45) were dressed up.
