That was a boring post.

So I've finally fallen into this whole facebook thing. Who knows--I'm so bad at posting regularly, I'm sure I'll suck at this too. Oh well. Maybe not.

So...long time no post. Spring semester seems to be even more hectic than fall, if that's at all possible. Plus I'm realizing that my priorities right now don't always include spending time on the web. But here's a brief update.

Latest Awkward Situation: This weekend, I went to see Amazing Grace, the new film about William Wilberforce, and on the way out, I realized I didn't have my keys in my purse. My purse had fallen over during the movie, so I went back into the theater to see if I could find them. After giving my sweater to the ticket lady as collateral, I got back into our theater and started hunting. On hands and knees, poking around under seats, I searched all over. Finally I decided to empty out my purse in desperation. There, in the bottom, wedged into my billfold, were my keys. I just took them out quietly, put everything back in my purse, announced to the teenagers cleaning the room that I had finally found them, and acted as if they had been right under the chair where I thought they were. I didn't tell my friends either--I guess I didn't want to look stupid.

Newest Love: I've been dating (for almost two months now--I'm about to break my own record!) my friend Clint. We dated before in college, and we've been good friends since I was a freshman in high school. Things are good. We're long distance, because he lives in Chicago (which sucks) but somehow we've been able to see each other at least once a month. He's coming to visit in a couple weeks, and I can't wait. We're pretty serious but pretty goofy. It's a nice combo.

Most Recent Aspiration: Returning to grad school. I've almost finished my application the local state university for an MA in English, and I'm getting very eager to become a student again. I was looking at the class list again the other day, and I caught myself drooling...

New Music I Like: Leeland, Sarah Kelly, Plumb's new album Chaotic Resolve

No new books as of late--I'm developing my 2007 SummerReadingList, and I have a student who wants to get together over ice cream this summer and talk about books. Her mom thinks it's cool, and so do I.

Biggest Change in the Last Month: I've decided to stay at my current job. I actually resigned from my position as music/English/drama teacher and had started applying all over. I even visited Chicago feeling 90% sure I was going to move there. That didn't pan out how I thought it would; I got reoffered my old job; I had a family offer me a free place to stay; I got offered tuition assistance for Grad school by my current job. So I said "yes" to everything, even though it meant a complete reversal of everything I thought was going to happen. God is creative and surprising, but he is always providing in amazing ways for me. He is awesome.

I think that's all. Life is good. I am happy.
