File that under "Complaints" and some good things

Complaint 1:
My vacation cannot arrive fast enough. I love the kiddos, but honestly, teaching 12 months of the year is completely exhausting. This month will be my one year anniversary at FPG! Feels like the longest year of my life (um, I mean, it has been). It's the best job I've ever had and has given me so much insight into myself and the way I think about life, it's all been totally invaluable. But still, I cannot wait to go to NY and London. Seriously.

Complaint 2:
My kitchen remodel is a disaster. My whole house is tilted, so since the cabinets were put in correctly, it shows the prominent tilt of the house with the space that it's left between the cabinets and the ceiling. My fridge doesn't fit so it has to be returned and I had to buy a more expensive one that actually fits. I thought I was done spending money on this place...grrr, guess not.

Complaint 3:
School sometimes is boooooring. So this is a small complaint, because for the most part I am LOVING the fact that I'm back in school. I was dreading it for a while, but turns out, its great. I love being on campus and I even feel less disconnected to the Carolina community now than I did my senior year, so I'm happy to have that experience.

Complaint 4:
Cleaning my other condo was far too painful. So I have to pay someone to do it. I'd rather do that though than cry through the entire process of reliving my past life. just whatever, boo.

Complaint 5:
My dog is a psycho.

I am dyiiiiing to see my friends in NY. It has been such a heavy weight on my mind lately and I have been missing everyone so intensly. I think maybe because Nina's and Coal's engagement parties were last month and I just feel like I've missed out on some important parts of my friends lives. I hate that feeling.

So there are some good things...
The kitchen is really almost done, so that's good. The DMB concert is in two weeks and that always cheers me up immensly. I have been doing a lot of writing on my own, and it's been really great. I feel like I'm making progress on my personal growth. I've also been doing a little bit of standup writing. I'm not very good at it, but at least its a nice form to write some of the dumb jokes I tell myself in my head.


For the girls at the Rock...

I remember thinking
Ill go on forever only knowing
Ill see you again
But I know
The touch of you is so hard to remember
But like that touch I know no other
And for sure we have danced
In the risk of each other
Would like to dance
Around the world with me
Ill be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When your not here thats hung
Around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, Ill back you up
I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other
Ill be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
Hen your not here thats hung
Around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, Ill back you up
