Exhaustion, Graduation, Awardation

Awardation = Not a word, but ends in -tion.
Whatever

Good lord I am tired today.
I originally planned on getting up about half an hour earlier today. I needed to run over to the Bangor City Hall to turn in my substitute teaching packet, so I can sub on Tuesday. Then I realized I needed to photocopy something and it would be rude and unprofessional to ask them to photocopy it for me. (Maybe?) Plus... half an hour of sleep is half an hour of sleep.
Honestly, I could have gone to be at like 9 last night. I was so tired. But I didnt. I laid down with Danny and watched a movie for awhile. If you follow me on twitter, you know that this movie was The Grudge. Yeaaaaahhh.... not the best bedtime movie. I've seen it, I love it, but just not for bedtime. Not when Danny always grabs me and goes "Oh my god, did you hear that? What was that noise?" at random, scary times before, during, and after scary movies. He's a jerk. So I made him turn it off about 20 minutes in and I watched Muppets from Space instead. Danny went out to do late night Danny things and I watched the movie for a bit, then turned it off and passed out. Only to wake up at 6 AM. BLAH. It took me 45 minutes at least to get back to sleep. I slept for MAYBE an hour and then had to get up... feeling MORE tired than I did at 6 AM. Gah. Should have just stayed up. BUT I figured I needed my sleep...
I student taught from 8:30 til 3:30, like always. I love my kids. They're so awesome. And I love my mentor teacher. She seems to think Im doing pretty well, I think. Im getting some written feedback from her on how I'm doing and on an assignment I did on Monday. I think she's one that would tell me right out if I wasnt doing as good of a job as she expected, but she's always very forgiving and understanding when I do make mistakes. Its a great placement, really.
(Oh! And one my students is the granddaughter of the secretary of the elementary school I went to! What a small world!!)

So, after student teaching, I had to go to work. Fridays suck, so much. But, I have to work sometime, and Im not going to never ever have a day off, so its one super long day a week, no work at all, or no days off. Meh. Work was kinda sucky, but not terrible. It's never TERRIBLE. It's just a few hours and they pay me well enough.

I made some yummy dinner with Danny. Chop Suey and Garlic Bread. Filled me up SO well too. I only ate half a bowl, and I have SO much leftovers. I need to learn how to cook for 2 people... But at least Im okay with leftovers. Leftovers = Not having to cook again. Though, I'll admit, being home between 4-5 every day makes me much more willing to cook. Not sure why. Time? Hunger? Who knows.

THEN
Something big happened.
I applied for graduation.
I am OFFICIALLY planning to graduate on May 8th of THIS YEAR.
I never thought this would come.
I'm so excited.
And yet, it doesnt feel real.
Although, not much of this year does yet.
Like that fact that I'm going to be an AUNTIE.

Anyways

Two blog things. First, I joined the sisterhood of the blogosphere and got assigned my two sisters today - Aieshah and Darah. I hope theyre not disappointed by my boring name. I'll write more about my "sisters" later on, when we've done more with it.

The other...
