Life has been extremely stressful the past week. Nothing momentous happened; just feeling overwhelmed and stuck. I absolutely cannot wait until I am making a decent salary next fall and have my own classroom. I think only then will I truly feel like an adult. I made dinner for Steve and myself two nights ago, which is definitely out of the ordinary! I’m pretty proud of myself. I made lasagna with homemade sauce that simmered for a freaken hour and an awesome salad with bleu cheese, candied walnuts (I candied them myself!), and apples with raspberry vinegarette. Yum! I think it went over pretty well.

No real plans for tonight, though I am taking a trip to Solvang this weekend with Sarah. We plan on doing some wine tasting and eating pastries! Now THAT’S a nice relaxing weekend! Speaking of, I also have Monday off for Veteran’s Day. Nice.

Life might stink right now but there’s a lot to look forward to, I guess. Student teaching, Solvang, New York (in January), teaching next fall. Whew.
