A Selected List of Things That Happened
- turned 22 (young, I say!)
- quit my first post-college full-time job (after eight horrible months)
- got way better at dancing (everyone asks me at once now)
- moved within DC (inevitable)
- went west of St. Louis for the first time (Phoenix, for 30 hours, for an interview)
- became a waitress (at the slowest restaurant in DC)
- quit waitressing (by just not showing up anymore)
- became a nanny (for the two most spoiled children ever)
- that was only temporary anyway (a pretty long six weeks while it lasted though)
- moved out of DC to live in central PA country woods (for two months)
- tended a pond (and several basil plants)
- got my first two credit cards (Gap and Capital One)
- moved out of PA to PGC, MD (sacrifices!)
- learned how to be a teacher (in a rather intense summer institute fashion)
- lost ten pounds while not eating (during said summer)
- reconnected with old friends (lost others)
- got engaged to the love of my life (and officially gained a future family)
- co-taught 31 delightful fourth-graders (and formed many opinions on children, teaching, parenting, and the world today)
- got my first hate memo written on a desk (only took it personally for five minutes, was impressed with my own resilience)
- received and treasured my mini pumpkin, fun size Snickers bar, paper cutout picture and foam sticker winter scene (children's gifts are beyond words)
- toured Boston (made our own memories)
