Highs:
- I'm still on winter break. One of the perks of being a teacher. Plus, we need it.
- I'm seeing my boyfriend tonight. Always a high.
- I downloaded a new motivational weight loss app. Hopefully it will help me stay on track!
Lows:
- The day seemed to drag on.
Highs:
- I started listening to Christmas music. Yes, Christmas music. I love this time of year!
- My students weren't terrible today. Score.
- It's hump day. Only 1.5 days left this week. I can do this.
Lows:
- I'm falling behind on my TV watching. I hate it.
- I had a meeting after school today. Not how I wanted to spend my time after school.
Highs:
- I went walking today with my Mom. Wow - it's so pretty out! I love Fall! :)
- I had a leftover buffalo chicken wrap for lunch. It's the little things.
- It's a beautiful day out! Plus, it's cold!
Lows:
- I have planning to do today. Ugh. Planning.
- I feel like I have a lot of things to do this week. My head is going to explode.
- The Patriots game won't be on TV because of the stupid Ravens game. Boo.
Highs:
- I'm back - does that count as a high? Sure it does.
- I'm happy in my relationship! It's only been a little over 3 months, but it feels so much longer (in a good way!).
- It's starting to become colder. Hello cold weather - I've missed you.
Lows:
- It's Monday. I hate you Monday.
- We had a pretty pointless staff meeting after school today. I wish I could get those 50 minutes back.
- Even though I'm losing weight, I still need to watch my snacking. I'm trying, but gosh darn it - it's hard losing weight. And it sucks. Ugh.
Highs:
- I went on a 5 mile hike this morning with my sister. It was great! I really need to hike more often.
- I made cookies! They are YUMMY!
- I got to sleep in. Score!
Lows:
- We have a full week of school coming up. Ugh.
Highs:
- I actually had a snow day today! I mean IT SNOWED! Instead of rained! So exciting! I wish it would stay winter and not go into spring and summer. But that's just me.
- I played around on Pinterest and found some good, new recipes.
- Dancing With the Stars and The Following are on tonight!
Lows:
- I woke up at 5:30am and never went back to bed. Boo.
- Since we had a snow day today we lost one day of Spring Break. I didn't have any Spring Break plans so it doesn't effect me too much, but losing a day off Spring Break isn't fun. Oh well, I'd rather have the snow we got!
Highs:
- My students were awesome today! It may have been from the fact I basically yelled at them yesterday since their behavior was awful, but who knows! They were great! Even my tough kids were great!
- One of my kids, who can get upset if he doesn't get his way, actually shared with another student. He was not being selfish, and he gave something up without thinking about. It was amazing to see. He's come so far since the beginning of school. He also had an achievement academically too, and it made me smile. I was pretty excited.
- We got to wear jeans for free today. It's the little things that count.
- It's Friday. My favorite day of the week.
- Grimm is on tonight. YES!
Lows:
Highs:
- Happy St. Patrick's Day I guess. I like the color green.
- I'm obsessed with my new phone cases! I have a "slight" addiction when it comes to phone cases. I've ordered more. I may need help with my addiction.
- I just watched the end of The Breakfast Club. I love that movie.
- It's Sunday.
- There's possible snow in the forecast tonight. There may be a delay tomorrow. Probably not, but who knows. Anything can happen I guess.
- I went to Trader Joe's this morning. It's been a while. I love Trader Joe's.
- I just found out there's a Walmart 5 minutes from my apartment. I'm pretty excited. Not gonna lie.
- I had corned beef and cabbage for dinner. The corned beef was delicious!
Lows:
- This is a full week coming up. No days off. No half days. Lots of work to do. Ugh. I'm so not looking forward to it.
Highs:
- My students weren't terrible today, which, not going to lie, was shocking.
- I ordered 3 new phone cases.
Lows:
- I absolutely hate Tuesdays. I'm more tired, and getting out of bed is hard.
- It was dark and rainy on my drive to work.
- I really need to stop snack-eating. That's my down fall, and I know it. Ugh.
Highs:
- I got to sleep in. I love sleeping.
- I tried a Dole Fruit Smoothie Shaker for breakfast. I'm definitely a fan!
- I made a yummy dinner. It was beef, onions, cream of celery soup, and a box of shells with cheese. It was pretty good if I do say so myself.
Lows:
- I went running yesterday for the first time in over 3 months. Yeah, I'm really sore. Not cool.
- I've had a sore throat since yesterday afternoon. I hope it goes away by tomorrow.
- This was a hard weekend to survive without candy. I was REALLY tempted to break Lent, but I held strong. I can't wait to eat candy. 21 days. I can do it.
Highs:
- My students were pretty good today. No big problems so that's a step in the right direction.
- My post-observation went well. I only have one more observation for the school year (I think?), and she told me it will be in Reading or Math so at least I can sort of be prepared.
- We had our Attendance Celebration today. That means less planning for me.
- The Following is on tonight! Also, it got renewed for a second season. Score!
- My staff meeting after school got cancelled. Woot!
- We're suppose to get snow this week. I really want a snow day. Or a delay. Or early dismissal. I'll take anything.
Lows:
- It's Monday. I hate Monday.
Highs:
- Well my kids were better than yesterday, although that's not saying much.
- I love having my kids do Just Dance videos for recess. They really get into it, and a few of them said they didn't want to leave school afterwards.
- My janitor was shocked that I was a first year teacher, and then he proceeded to tell me I'm doing a "hell of a job" as one. He's never seen me teach, but I guess he can tell I'm surviving. Haha.
Lows:
- Tuesdays are ROUGH.
- Lent starts tomorrow. I'm not ready to give up candy. :-/
Highs:
- My kids were better today than yesterday! Not amazing, but definitely better. They all ended on green too.
- I really do love my co-workers. I work with some pretty awesome people.
Lows:
- I started packing a little bit, but I'm dreading actually doing it intensely. Ugh. I just want to move and be done with packing.
Highs:
- It's Darren Criss' birthday today! Happy Birthday!
- I got to wear jeans to school.
Lows:
- My kids were awful today. Ugh. They better be good the rest of the week.

Highs:
- I got to see my new apartment!! I'm moving in 2 weeks, and I got to see the actual apartment today; it looks good!
- My closet is even bigger than the one I saw in the model. Very exciting!
- I bought a new nightstand.
- It snowed a little today.
- I got a delicious cheese steak sub for lunch. Nom nom.
- I made some new Glee CDs. That was much needed.
Lows:
- The Ravens are in the Superbowl. This has been a low ever since they beat the Patriots. Ugh. They better not win tomorrow or it will be a low until next football season.
Highs:
- I found another teacher at my school who likes Grimm! Woooo! Grimm needs to come back now though and not March 8th - that's too far!
- My kids handled a code orange drill really well today! We were outside when they announced it so it went into a 5th grade room, and my kids did really well! They were very well behaved! :)
Lows:
- Today was my Monday since we had no school yesterday. Ugh, I hate Mondays. And Tuesdays.
- I have my mid-year evaluation next Monday. I know I'll be fine, but I have to answer a lot of questions, and I'm nervous about leaving something out. Ugh.
Highs:
- SNOW DAY TODAY! Well, it's more of an "ice" day, but no school either way. No school on a Monday is even better.
- The Following is on tonight; can't wait!
- I had a funny/weird dream last night. It involved Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay going undercover, and Sofia Vergara telling Jeff Probst to take his shirt off and go swimming. Weird indeed.
Lows:
- First, we had a 2-hour delay, which was nice, except for the fact I couldn't fall back asleep. Then, I found out school was cancelled. I definitely couldn't fall back asleep after that. At least there's no school.
Highs:
- It's my birthday. So there's that. Hehe. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! And to my favorite (and only) twin! :)
- The People's Choice Awards are on tonight! I hope Grimm wins! ;)
- I had a good day at work! A co-worker announced it with my birthday during lunch, and the ENTIRE cafeteria started singing. It was embarrassing but kind of funny. Also, my Kindergarten team got me a card and some candy. So nice! :)
- I had my post-observation this morning, and it was SUCCESSFUL! I got a lot of good comments. It was a good way to start my birthday.
- I got Panera for dinner. Yum! I love Panera!
Lows:
Highs:
- I went to the library to get the second book in the Stephanie Plum series. It's a good series so far!

Lows:
- The Ravens won today. Yuck. Ray Lewis is creepy. Yuck again.
- Not a great workout today. Eh.
Highs:
- I went apartment hunting today with my sister. We saw some great possibilities...that is, if she still wants me as her roommate!
- We got Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch. Yummy goodness.
- There's football on a Saturday. I like football on a Saturday.
- My Psych mug and slippers came today! Whattttttt!
Lows:
- I didn't get a good workout in. I had a stitch in my stomach while doing Zumba so I wasn't going all out. Disappointed.
Highs:
- It's a new year; that's always fun right?
- I'm really loving the new Zumba Core Wii game. It's pretty awesome; not gonna lie.
- I watched some more Psych today. Some may say I have an obsession. I say those people might be right. Might be.
- I finally started The Big Bang Theory Season 5. It's funny stuff.
Lows:
- Winter break ends today. I actually have to work tomorrow. That seems so foreign.
