days like this make me want to bundle up, sit outside, drink hot chocolate, & read. :) actually... maybe i will do that today!
today is my first day of tutoring for one of my classes. we have to tutor 1st grade students two days a week in reading and plan lessons and do assessments. i'm really nervous! i hope my student likes me. i'm hoping the teacher, grown up katie in me takes over today, and nervous college katie vanishes for an hour or so. ;)
hah, want to hear a ridiculous story? yes? perfect.
yesterday i drove back from school, i left early and was in a good mood and it was beautiful outside. then i got to school and realized i left ALL my dress clothes (which i needed for tutoring), and regular clothes at home. ummm major problem.
Thank goodness i have the most amazing parents in the world. literally. my dad drove my stuff alllllll the way out here for me yesterday without even thinking twice.
however, after my dad got here. i realized i left all my make up at home too. ordinarily i could just deal with it, and get it next weekend since i have to go home again to help out at a carnival with my kids i volunteer with. but. tutoring. i need to be dressed up/look nice.
so i had to buy all new make up last night. :( ooof. what a waste of money.
as my dad said though, "it was an excuse for us to have dinner together!" (2.5 hours away from home...but dinner nonetheless)
i'm really lucky. :)
jealous about your weather!!
ReplyDeleteYour dad is so precious!! I love your family :)
Thanks for the sweet comment!! You always brighten my day :)
ReplyDeleteI love that we're going through so many of the same things with teaching, faith... SO cool!
I am positive that you're going to be a fabulous tutor and that your student will love you. First grade is such a fun age because the kids are so eager to please you and just love you up! I can't wait to hear how it goes.
And that was so nice of your dad to drive all the way out with your clothes! Parents are the greatest :)
i love the fall. it's my favorite season. sweaters, hot cocoa, leaves falling on the ground, etc. sukkot starts later this week and that represents fall to me. i took the boys on a nature walk to collect leaves and pine cones this afternoon. :)
ReplyDeletethat was nice what your dad did. wow. i hope he knows how much you appreciate him.
where did you go for dinner?
i'm older than you and can get away without makeup most of the time, even for shul. you are
young and pretty. there are ways to "fake" wearing makeup, if necessary.
You are a lucky girl! :) Your parents are fabulous.
