“I just shared one of your cookies with a male friend. He says he wants to marry...”
– Going to Birmingham, be right back. (For real, though. I sent little Micah a care package including some cookies this week. And, homegirl shared them. And found my soulmate. Obviously.)

“Those extra efforts you take to not hold grudges and to talk to students...”
– I just listened to my professor’s audio feedback (hello, twenty-first century) on my midterm evaluation. He said all of this. And then it clicked… he’s talking about me. He’s talking about ME. HE’S TALKING ABOUT ME!!! (Maybe I can be a real teacher one day!)

A rainy night in Athens has led to a Saturday night being spent snuggled under my beloved electric blanket working on polishing up my final project for student teaching. I purchased a few binders, a ton of dividers, and am pretty excited about printing it all out. (Anyone out there want a complete three-week unit over electromagnetism? I’m your go-to girl.) As I’m finishing up my unit,...
One of my all-time favorite things is Brooke Skelley’s laugh…. it can take on a variety of forms, but oh man, it’s incredible. Especially when she gets so tickled that she can’t hold it in any more. Amazing.

Little Things
So there’s this blog that I follow that I swear reads my mind. Legitimately…. nearly everything it posts makes me stop and think Hey, me too! It’s called Little Things (just-littlethings.tumblr.com) and posts the little things in life that are incredible. My favorites include:
- Someone telling you a secret. Just you.
- The originality of people’s handwriting. (It’s...
Farm.
Favorite past time of the semester? Going to the farm. Every time we’ve gone, someone has said Katie, why are we just now coming out here… your last semester in college? Well, to tell you the truth, I don’t have a grand answer. I suppose that I didn’t think anyone would enjoy it as much as we have. I guess that’s because I used to cry when I’d think about having...

SPRING BREAK. SPRING BREAK. SPRING BREAK. It’s here, it’s here, it’s here! While almost every ounce of my body wishes that I were going to teach next week (it was an incredible week with my kiddos full of laughs and lots of encouragement), I am thankful for a week to focus on reducing this utter exhaustion I’ve been feeling for, well, forever. And, in doing nothing,...
Reasons I Love First Period:
- They call me “Gamble”. Just “Gamble”. I love it. - We can laugh. A lot. And they quiet down easily. And we laugh some more. - I can’t not smile. Ever. Even if I’m frustrated, they’ll just give me this look, and I’ll crack up. - They know when I’m frustrated, and they understand. - They’re always really territorial about me. And they...
This one goes out to the brother-in-law. Happy Birthday, Harold! (No, that’s not his real name, but it might as well be. I call him Harold 9 times out of ten.) Thanks for being the best brother. Thanks for loving my sister. And thanks for picking up the phone at 7:02 am when I call you to wish you a good day…. in feline. (Also, thanks for not saying anything about my singing voice. I...
