elgriz asked: Downton Abbey is a British television show that comes on PBS in the states. It's the story of a society family in England and their servants in the WWI era. I watched the first season (7 episodes) on netflix and became completely addicted. Now PBS plays season 2 on Sunday nights. It's a very well made series!

Gifts...
I just went to the Gtown bookstore to buy some gifts and things for myself. Tell me how I ended up spending $135 on a few items! :/ But at least now I have an awesome new pair of Gtown running shorts, duffle bag, and shirt! Home in 2 weeks! This summer has flown by! I can’t wait to share my photos and stories.
Have a great week everyone!

date a girl who reads
I found this via the wild and wily ways of a bombshell brunette and I love it!
Date a Girl Who Reads by Rosemarie Urquico Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve. Find a girl who...

I love stripes and dresses. I must already have at least 2 dresses in my closet that have stripes. Another one wouldn’t hurt right!?

Struck a nerve
This NY Times article published July 14th, struck a nerve with me. It reminds me of the relationship that I’ve had (and still have with my mother). Not the ending, which is a tragic ending for the writer’s mother, but for everything else. As a soon to be college freshman/co-ed my mother insisted on helping me move in. I was very reluctant, because I knew that I could do it all alone. I...

Currently…
I am on my night off from work. Whoopee!! And I’m spending it indoors.
It is raining outside, as in full on summer DC thunderstorm.
I am listening to this amazing mix online.
I am watching the rain fall down from my bed.
I am at peace and feeling good.
I am craving a bowl of cereal. Lucky Charms to be exact.
What are you doing currently?

Timex
Lately I’ve had my eye on these two watches. I can’t decided on which one would be a better buy. I’m leaning more towards the Timex military strap just because I can switch the strap and get some fun colors to go. However, the black reader is a classic that will last many years.
joyeux anniversaire
Joyeux anniversaire to myself! Yup! I am 24 years old today and I feel blah. Honestly it doesn’t feel like my birthday. It feels like any other day. Other than the fact that its ridiculously humid outside (we have a storm watch complete with hail), I’m really just feeling flustered. I’m hot, I can’t wear my hair down as I’d like, the dining hall lacks variety in...

Notification of Reasonable Assurance
I’ve been meaning to post this for a few days now. I got this letter from my district letting me know that I would be pretty much be kept for the following school year. Now mind you this was MAILED TO ME! I mean wouldn’t it make so much more sense to have this put in my school inbox? To you know, like save stamps! :) I am very thankful that I do have a job this fall at my school. I...

Fill in the blanks!
1. My plans this summer include working with 13 amazing high school seniors and lots of reading, and Scrabble playing with El Novio. 2. The best summer I ever had was hmmm this is a tough one. I’m not really sure. Usually summers tend to be blah for me. 3. Summer is getting to wear dresses and skirts. :) 4. My favorite summer food is a slice of carne asada with some rice and...

Update
I made it to DC and so did the rest of the students and staff. I just walked to the local CVS and I broke out into a nasty sweat. It felt like an eternity to get there. Only a mile round trip though. I’m definitely out of shape for walking on these hills and stairs. I know today is the 4th of July, but oddly it doesn’t feel like it. I already had my class so I can relax for a bit....

Good ol' Washington, D.C.
I was able to snag a job as an American literature instructor this summer in Washington, D.C. for a program I was once a part of. I’m very excited to be in the instructor role versus the “ugh, they are grilling us academically” student role. When I was in the program we (all the students in it) jokingly referred to it as academic bootcamp. Because in reality what type of high...
