I Haven't Died

I just got busy.  So, I'm pulling out of my post Camps funk.  Here's April in brief:

• Planted an awesome native garden (pictures later)
• Went to Museum of Contemporary Art
• Started dating an awesome guy, Rene (a lot more details on him coming shortly)
• Went to a Hold Steady concert this past Wednesday
• Decided to stay in LA for another year...this may or may not be directly related to bullet 3
• Started freelance writing again.
• Painted my second music-themed mural of the year
• Found out that City Year will not be at 112th Street Elementary where I serve next year.  I don't know why this makes me so sad but it does.

Anywho, look for more details...probably tomorrow afternoon if I can convince Rene that we don't have to be out moving every moment of every day.  Until then, all four of you loyal readers.

Week in Review

Things that happened this week:
-Spelling Bee was done to great success.
-I got an intervention group in my third grade class that means I'm going to rock literacy for the coming months.
-Participated in an IJ group for the first time ever.
-Almost fell asleep at work on Friday because the crafts I was researching were dumb.  What do you do with kids from these neighborhoods who aren't easily impressed or impressible?
-Made an ass of myself Saturday night.
-Started writing again tonight.
