The one with happy thoughts.

I feel like my last couple of blogs have been pretty depressing. So I decided to write on the lighter side today. When going through crap I noticed that its easy to loose sight of the little things that make you happy. So I made a list. I'm not a big list maker, but I pushed through it and it was awesome.

So here's a little bit of that list:

Dove Deoderant. -If you live in the desert, you understand the NEED for a deoderant that will protect you all day and will stop you from sweating like a man. This deoderant smell AMAZING! It also reduces the visibility of hair.

WOO to the HOO!

Paul Mitchell products.- I'm not usually a snob for anything. But I love to go to the Paul Mitchell school to get my hair did. They do a good job, and have quality products.

SHOOOOOOEEESSSS!

Need I say more?

Picture/Card board.- This is in my room. I look at this, and remember the people and events that mean the most to me.

Freaking granola.- It's hard to describe my love for granola. It's delicious, sweet, crunchy, and pure amazing. Find me something to put granola on and I will love you forevever.

My journal and my planner.- Both of these things are essentials to my life. My journal contains all my A.D.D type thoughts, and my planner keeps my A.D.D contained. Both make me happy and sane.

Nobody wants an unhappy, insane Elisa.

My daily Bible.- I try my best to read everyday, but life gets in the way. I can tell you for sure that whenever I do read I feel ready to bring on whatever life has in store. Thanks God!

Mollie the MacBook.- I've had her for almost 3 years. And she's still going strong. I'm not one for fighting, but I will always take the side of an Apple.

Taking pictures with props, with this chick.- And being in California, while taking pictures, with props, with this chick. But mostly this chick. :)

Every single person in this picture.- The youth group of FSBCA makes my life 10 billion times greater! I love these crazy kids!

OOOOHHH NIIICE!

Eating Chick'n nuggets with Elias Elefante.-We were watching Community..

The greatest show on earth...

and they were eating chicken nuggets, and we both got the craving nuggets. I, of course, made "chick'n nuggets." And him with his regular nuggets. It seems dumb, but situations like these is kinda what I live for. Watching a good show, eating, relaxing...it's my favorite thing on the earth. Thanks Elias Elefante.

What's on your list?

The one with the middle.

You remember that Jimmy Eat World song: The Middle? It feels very applicable to me. And, have you heard the Paramore song: Caught in the Middle? Also applicable. It's been two months since this school year started. I wish I could say it's getting better. I wish I could say it's been a good year so far. But it's been a really tough year of teaching already. It's really no one's fault- students, admin, parents- it has nothing really to do with them. It's just been, tough. I feel like honestly, it's kind of a waste of energy trying to pinpoint one problem that I am having, when in reality- it's possible that I am not supposed to be doing this anymore. Okay. I feel like I should be a teacher. But I don't know if I should be doing this . Does that even make sense? Probably not. I just feel really stuck at this moment. Because I want to do a good job while I am here, but I also am waiting for what I am meaning to do next. I want to serve my curren

The one with hallway.

I don't have an idea for this blog. That is why it's been a month or so since my last blog. In all transparency, I was working on a longer blog that I was updating daily about my decision to sign my contract or not for next school year. But then I ended up signing it and it's truly not an interesting blog. It was just like: "Should I? Nah. Well? Okay. Nah. Okay I will. I signed it. The end." So, now we're here, just waiting until the end of the year to finish and I am on the hook for next year. I could still leave, but breaking a contract not only gives me hives because of the ethic implications, but also there is a $2,500 fee attached to that which is NOT in my summer budget currently. I am tired of teaching. But to be fair, it is April and I am ALWAYS tired of teaching in April. But I will say this April is different. Education is different. It's changed. A part of me knows that I will be called out of teaching soon. I don't see myself retiring as

The one where I join the blog world.
