You Gotta Have 'Em, You Glad You Got 'Em

Have you seen this?







This is my dance from last year. I love it. I love the song. I love that I choreographed it in just 4 weeks. love love love love love it
I miss dancing on an everyday basis, but I dance all the time to make up for it. Seriously, I've never not dance when music is on, except for today when I was being emo about PJT leaving my apartment. Also, he doesn't want to be called that, but I can't think of anything on the spot right now, so I will ponder and get back.

It's the summer so I eat light. it's a weird habit I have. when it got to be hot at knox for the spring/summer, I would just eat hummus and pitas for dinner, nothing else. Fruit for lunch. For dinner today, I think i'm going to have one avocado, some popcorn, and a mango for dessert.

Yummy.

The Sky is full of clouds and My world's full...of people. We got the different kinds

This weekend I returned to great old Knox College for the end part of senior week/Graduation. It was interesting. I wasn't super upset about not going there, but I did get pretty emo during graduation. Not because people I knew were graduating, but because I graduated a year ago. Which is just very, very, very strange to think about. I think it's more just that the year has gone by so quickly, and I feel that most of us are in completely different situations than previously thought. I'm not saying I don't like it, because I am very, very, very much enjoying my life right now, I just think that because it happened so quickly it's shocking. Where did the time go? Can I ever get it back?
The answer to that is no. And I know it, it just seems odd that life is going to continue to go by quickly. Remember when you were younger and it took so long for your birthday to come again? Or for summer to end? That doesn't happen anymore; weeks fly by so quickly that you forget what you looked like two months ago.

Anyway, this week is gonna be boring and probably go by slow. It's the last week of CPS' school year, so the health center is about to get quiet. And I am about to get sad. While Americorps perhaps has not been my most fun experience, I will say that I will miss every single one of those kids who come into the health center/who I taught in class. Even if they are the baddest kids ever (my favorite child is SUPER DUPER bad and I love it), I will miss them talking to me, I will miss them being sick so that they can come hang out with me in the health center, I will miss them asking me questions about nutrition/health/illiness/anything, I will just straight up miss them. In fact, I feel that I will be pretty sad about it for quite some time. I think that is probably the part about being a teacher that is difficult: you have to let the kids go after only a year. Yeah, they will possibly still be in the same building with you, but they won't be in your class and they won't be in your life as much as you want them to be. So that's something I'll have to get used to, since I want to be a teacher. Hmmm.

One last thought, as to the title of this post, is that so many of my friends are in interracial relationships, including myself, and I think that it is pretty much awesome. In the words of my boyfriend (who I will know refer to as PJT from now on, since I call him by his last name) "I don't see color." Which makes me laugh all the time, because it's ridiculous to actually say it, but obviously he does not.
Plus, all of my friends are hot, and their boyfriends/girlfriends are pretty attractive to, so we're legit winning.
