Oh yeah and I'm a teacher now, for real.

Oh hey little bloggieblog...sorry I neglected you.

I'm sitting in my little apartment, watching the end of the Bachelorette and being sad that she didn't pick Ben. I mean, if you know me you can understand why I might have a soft spot in my heart for Bens, but he was who I think she should've chosen...he was funny!

Ok whoa enough about that. She dumped him so I stopped paying full attention. Kind of like I did during new-teacher orientation today now and then...oopsies. I mean, it's not like I didn't realize they were giving me valuable information about the email and gradebook systems, but I just kinda figured some of it out quick! What can I say, I catch on quickly! Well, except with this whole "design your classroom website" thing. iWeb was sooooo much easier! Darn USD475 for not being Mac-friendly! (Oh, man...The After the Final Rose show just came on...guess I won't be going to bed as soon as I finish this blog entry after all. Oh well.) Luckily I have good friends who are going to help me figure out how to make my classroom website make sense!

Oh BTW...so unless you've known me since junior college you probably don't know that I really enjoy painting. I'm not very good, and I can't really paint anything to look REAL, but I like to make pretty things and it's fun! Because I lived in a sorority house for two years and then an apartment with 3 other people, I haven't been able to paint recently because of the space crunch (haha SPACE CRUNCH! It sounds like a legit 80's arcade game! I'd play it). But now that I have an apartment all to my little self, I have some space! So, I started painting again! I don't have any furniture until Friday night when my stepmom brings it, so I really had space!

I painted a tree on 3 canvases for over my couch:

A little complimentary piece on 3 little canvases that's going on the same wall as the tree but not right next to it:

And then a little paisley one on six little canvases that I'm not sure where I'll put yet:

I've put a glaze on them since taking these pictures, so they're a little shinier now :) But yeah, I love them and I love painting, and I don't care if they don't look fabulous because I've never taken an art class or anything so whatev! I brought a lot of my paint back from home, too, so hopefully I'll get to do more soon.

That is, if I don't go crazy trying to figure out this classroom website....
