Another rainy day in Poseyville!  That actually might be a good thing for once, because it kept me inside and I got a lot of work done today.  It seems like parents have been calling me nonstop, wanting to sign up their child for one of the summer camps.  Yesterday I spent a ton of money at Target, buying mainly sporting items.. soccer goals, soccer balls, water stuff, baseball bats, frisbees.. the list goes on and on!  I also bought a lot of scrapbooking items, which a lot of the kids like. 

As for the more exciting news, I bought a new car!  That's right, I bought.. for once, I'm not driving a car that either of my parents bought!  I've been looking through car ads in the paper and online for a while, and then went car shopping on Monday and Tuesday.  I looked at a lot of cars, at probably six different dealerships, but ended up buying the very first car I looked at.  It's a silver, 2006 Chrysler Sebring convertible!  I'll have to get a picture up so you can see.  I'm so excited!  I actually negotiated with the car salesman to bring the price on the car down, and whenever I went to meet with the finance guy, he told me that the first guy had said he was impressed by how much I had researched and that I really knew what I was doing!  Which, since I really didn't feel like I knew what I was doing at all, this made me feel a lot more confident! 

I had an incredible time in Florida!  I definately miss hanging out with my sister and Aaron!  A few of the things I did.. played miniature golf, ate at restauraunts on the beach, played real golf, walked the beach, laid out, went swimming, relaxed in the hottub, went to some bars/clubs, and went shopping!  Our condo was awesome.  We had a balcony overlooking the beach, and one entire wall in my room was a window that overlooked the ocean.  We just got back to Indiana today.  I wish I was still in Florida, but I really needed to get back to catch up on some work.  I had a great vacation though!

Here I am, writing in this blog again.  Maybe I will keep up with this thing, after all.  So I have some very exciting news & some bad news.  For the exciting news..

I'm opening & directing my own summer youth program!  It's going to be a program like my mom's, but for grades 1-3 & I have to completely run it & hire people to work there & everything.  I'm really nervous, but I think it will be a great experience! 

On the flip side, my mom is not supposed to walk for at least a month & she has to have some procedure done.  Actually, we're waiting to even hear if the doctor will let her go with us to Florida, since we leave this weekend.  So needless to say, my parents have told me they are extremely glad I'm home for the summer because I can help my mom out when I'm not at work.

So besides running my own program, mom has asked me to "sub" for her as director for at least a month of the program she runs for grades 4-7, since she isn't supposed to be walking.  So here I'm now kinda the director for 2 programs.. yet wait.. she also wants me to try a new program, to help kids with bridgework this summer, & I am directing/working that on my own. 

I forgot.. I'm also sending out a flyer to the school that I will tutor students who are falling behind in school.  So...

Am I crazy, or can I really handle all this responsibility?!  I'm hoping I'm not crazy and that I can do all this, plus find a teaching job!  It's going to be a crazy summer, but I'm going to have a lot of new experiences, & I love staying busy, so in the end, it will all be worth it!  Wish me luck?!

I've never actually written in this thing, and I'm not sure if I will write in it much.. but I'm awake and I'm not tired so I doubt I'll be going to bed any time soon.  A bit anxious as well, as my last day of student teaching is tomorrow.  I am definately going to miss my students! 

I can't wait to hang out with my friends this weekend!  I had forgotten just how much fun it can be to have a girls night out! 

I probably should pack up a lot of my stuff this weekend too, since I'm moving most of it out next week.  I'm already lined up to sub on Monday and Tuesday, so that leaves me only Wednesday to pack (and actually I may be out of town that day) before my dad helps me move most of my stuff home on Thursday.  Actually, I was offered by a teacher to sub Thurs. & Fri., but Thursday I couldn't and I didn't figure I wanted to work the day before my graduation.  I think I'm going to stay at my apartment until Sunday, but I wanted to get most of it moved out before then. 

Well, enough randomness for now.. I believe it may be time to find some ice cream!
