pooped out!

ok...as much as i love teaching this year and as much as I love the kids...I'm pooped out already! It seems like everything is happening at the same time and my stress level is still pretty high. I guess it's hard for me to take things lightly...I want to be a great teacher and I'm still struggling trying to get there...I want to get my masters and I'm still really struggling to get that...I want to spend time with my best buds in the whole world and I'm finding myself torn b/w them and school/work...I really need to get my finances in order b/c i'm digging myself a horrible hole...*sigh*...eventually I'll grow up and get my life in order! Until then...I guess I'll just fly by the seat of my pants like I've been doing! hehe...

ok, ok, stop being mopey and dopey!!! Lisa is back and better than ever...I think! =) hehe...I will figure things out...good or bad...things will somehow get themselves in order!!! I hope...!!! okie dokie...off to grade and chat and sleep ZZzzzZzzZzZZzz!!! =)

argh!

omg...i have this horribly stressful final tomorrow! I'm soooo stressed! This final determines whether or not i pass this gosh darn class that I can't seem to find success in! While I just found out my last paper earned me a wonderful 20/20, it means nothing if I can't pass my final!! grrrr...and while I had planned on pulling an all night study session tonight...I must sleep some b/c we've got picture day tomorrow. Whilst I am tempted to stay up, I will regret my decision when the pictures are passed back and I look like someone hit me over the head with a giant pole! =) hehe. alas, I am heading to bed soon with study breaks all tomorrow! wish me luck!!! ahhhhhh!!! I have also decided that my room is good enough the way it is for tomorrow's meeting and i've so much to do, I'm not even going to attend! ah hah, I'm being a rebel! =) hehe...ok...i'm off to squeeze in some more cramming and some sleep =)

Long Time....!

Oh geesh...it's been quite awhile since I've posted here! eek.

hmmm...well, school has started and has taken up quite a bit of my time...while this year has seemed to get off to a good start, I don't know for sure. I'm overwhelmed...there is always so much to do and I feel like there's never going to be enough time. I thought I was on top of things, but unfortunately I'm still trying to catch up. geesh. Oh well! Despite some problems already, it seems like things will turn out alright =)

well, wish me luck...my final week at uci is this week. This is the determining week that will tell if I am returning to finish my masters next summer, or if I'm being dropped from uci. I hope it's the first option! So...fingers crossed as I take my finals!

I think after this week...I should be more relaxed and much less sensitive. sorry to those of you i've snapped at or been gloomy to =(. I shall be much more fun to be around soon =) hehe....
more to come later...sleepy time =)

Midtern =(

The irony of this situation is unbelievable. I have had the most difficult time getting myself to fall asleep as of late prior to 2:00 or 3:00am. However, this very night that I need to be studying my behind off for tomorrow's midterm my eyelids are droopy and yawns continue to escape. WHY?!?! I guess some crazy hand of fate is swooping around and saying, "haha Lisa, that's what you get for waiting until the very last minute!". *sigh*

On a brighter note, I stopped by the school on my way to UCI from my training today and I took a peek into my new room and picked up my class list. I have to say, I'm getting excited now! =) Hooray! =) A new year, a new class, more ideas, more fun =).

Ah well, as soon as I get this damn midterm out of my way, I can get back to 5th grade stuff =).
