Ok, so right now I am sitting in a blogging workshop at our yearly full day professional day. The leader of the workshop is encouraging us to create a blog to use in the classroom. clearly this is not what I have done, but I feel like I am more likely to write in a blog about my life rather than sending home the star of the week to the parents of my first graders! Anyway, I really like reading the posts that Michele and Marissa write, and I figured that since we have been copying each other in things like hairstyles, clothing and movie choices since we were probably 8, i figured I could take the opportunity to continue the tradition of stealing each others' ideas. Haha...it is pretty much guaranteed that my blog will be super boring compared to Michele and Marissa's for the following reasons:
1) I do not live in Italy, nor do i live in any foreign country or with a family i don't like and don't know well. In fact, I have never even traveled out of the country or lived with anyone else's family, except for the summer I lived with Dave and his family in New Hampshire.
2) I do not have forty million jobs like Marissa does. She is so busy, I don't really know how she does it! Right now I work at one job, and soon I will be back to my routine of working two jobs in the same school.
3) my life pretty much consists of teaching, going to grad. school, doing homework and working on the farm in my free time. Yes, I spend alot of my weekends working with cows, building things and baling hay. Don't tease me...I love it.
4) I haven't made any huge life changes within the past year. I moved to Boston about a year and a half ago, but I am pretty much settled in now and I don't have any immediate plans for huge changes.
Anyway, I hope that i can find some things to write about that are more exciting than what I had for lunch or how much homework I have. I am hoping this will spark my writing and creativity again, and that I will start writing and enjoy journaling my experiences. Maybe i need to come up with some fake names, that seemed to work for Michele. :)
