On Facebook Friends

I am not friends with my students. I may be friendly, but I do not allow my students to become my Facebook friends until they are no longer my students. There are some friendships that I relish. A few days ago, I saw a status update of one of these student-friends. It brings me joy. For one, I am called a wise woman. For another, I taught a whole slew of really cool people something. Finally, THEY REMEMBERED IT!!!

:) I am funny.

Right Now

So, this is my life right now:

-I have been offered a job in Layton as a media specialist or English teacher. I did not even apply. I turned it down. The principal keeps calling me.

-I love my new Ford Escape. I feel like a queen when I drive it.

-My little brother is here to order $5 Threadless tees (sale ends tomorrow)

-I just finished reading Fablehaven 3

Up

Last night I went to a 3D showing of Pixar's newest flick, UP. It was beautiful. I found myself tearing up a bit, but at the same time I found it so incredibly life-affirming. It dealt with relationships and happiness and life choices and loss. And even though it had some sad moments, ultimately it was just so joyful. This is a movie I will definitely own, and one that I want to share with those I love. The title makes total sense to me now because the film is so darn uplifting!
