I could not be more happy that this is a four day week. Tomorrow is records day, but my principal said we didn’t need to come in if we could get our work done at home. I am still debating whether or not to come in, but either way I am definitely sleeping in! My school has three four day weeks in the month of October! That is insanity, but I love it! We also have a week in November for Thanksgiving, and then two weeks at Christmas. We won’t have a normal month again until January(Jan-March is the long stretch)!

I am looking forward to the weekend. I am going to Oktoberfest with Will and a bunch of his seminarian friends tomorrow night. Saturday is O.G I put in my two weeks, but I am not sure if my boss thought I was serious. Isn’t that crazy? I am such a people pleaser that even when I say I need to quit, I talk myself out of it if my boss looks upset with my decision! I really do need to quit though. I want to spend my weekend nights hanging out with Will (or other friends), not serving breadsticks and salad. I will miss the extra cash, but still not worth it. Sunday Will is coming over to study, and I am going to cook us dinner (our new Sunday thing-cooking dinner together). I love it when we hang out and just do normal, not even really "date" type stuff.  So now we have two set nights a wek to see eachother (Tuesdays and Sundays). I like the routine we are getting into.  The more time I spend with him, the more I want to see him! It’s so cheesy, but I could seriously envision myself seeing this boy every day for the rest of my life!

I am getting a little nervous about the trip to meet his family next weekend. He is super close to them, and I really hope they like me. I am just going to try to relax and be myself.

All of the teachers at my school hate our new principal. I disagree with some of his decisions, but overall I am pretty happy with him. I feel bad for him that people are being so hard on him. It’s only his first year–they need to cut him a little slack. Anyway, now everyone is saying they’re not coming back to teach next year. Drama. Drama. Drama. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like I teach at a Christian school.

Alright…my kiddos are back from band.
