plus d'une semaine

i will begin with a dream i had a few nights ago. 

i feel that i owe it to you since it has been so long. 

i was standing on a beach with two other people, i'm pretty are my mom was one of them. 

we were all going to be punished for something we had done, but our punishments would vary. 

there were three different levels of punishment, one for each of us. 

although i didn't know what they were, i knew that i didn't want the worst one (duh) 

our punishment was to be given to us on a far away island. 

our punishment was based on what our feet looked like. the one with the ugliest feet would get the worst punishment. 

(those who know me really well know that i love my feet...a lot. they are beautiful.)

the man making the decision looked at our feet and i felt so confident that all of my worries disappeared. 

suddenly, he chose my feet as the ugliest ones. 

i burst into tears, not because i was getting the worst punishment. no. but because he claimed my feet to be the ugliest. 

i cried and made excuse after excuse "but my toes are so beautiful!" 

i just couldn't understand why my feet were the least favored. 

then i woke up. 

i like to think go myself as a grand advisor sometimes. 

especially when people call me for tips on the best laundry detergent to buy. 

last week i went to the testing center which only opened at 10am...what the? 

for us motivated people who like to get things done early, it would be nice for the doors to open sooner. 

a guy walked in all confused about the late opening schedule, and to pass the time he decided to do some great gymnastic stretching on the bars by the entrance. 

i don't think i was the only confused one. 

entertaining nonetheless. 

the key to utmost happiness is listening to destiny's child. 

it kept me alive last week. 

that, and waking up every day saying the same prayer, "Heavenly Father, please, just let me live." 

glad last week ended.

i took on job number four. 

someone stop me before i die. 

but this one is by far the best! 

the elementary school i volunteer at has hired me to be an intervention assistant and substitute teacher every friday. 

so last week i taught a second grade french immersion class all day and it was the most wonderful experience ever. 

graduation can not come soon enough! 

i have absolutely no problem doing this for the rest of my life:)

i feel like every experience i have had, every where i have lived, every thing i have learned, every place i have traveled to, every person i have met, has led me to be exactly where i am today. and i can't even begin to express how grateful i am for all of that. 

loneliness is an interesting thing. 

being alone is the best way to think about our lives and where we want to be and how we want to get there. 

i have had a lot of alone time lately, and it's been pretty therapeutic and quite a blessing. 

there is so much i want to do with my life. 

i can't wait. 

i guess i should talk about valentine's day. 

i have a secret admirer. 

first year this has happened in my life and i am quite satisfied. 

actually, i was dang happy, i always wanted to that to happen to me in high school. 

and it finally did. 

whoever you are, thanks bunches. 

no one has ever bought me roses before and i am super satisfied:)

also, the best music for single awareness day is usher. hands down. 

teaching, usher, me, roses, chocolate, homework, dance party with heidi. 

grandest combination. 

love, love, love. 

i have been playing soccer lots and lots lately and it's been fabulous! 

our intramural team is quite fabulous, mainly because we just have fun and that's the best way to do it. 

matthieu found me some cleats. 

they are sexy. 

picture to come. 

life is good. 

the world is a beautiful place. 

and i am happy.
