My first class starts in a few minutes so this will be quick.

I got so annoyed with all the corrections and grading last week that I decided not to give a lot of work for a while. It's horribly tedious... it would be easier if the principal hadn't asked all the teachers to not just mark an X over the incorrect answers, but also write the correct answer and say what the kid did wrong. *That takes forever*.

One of my students tried to sharpen a pen about 5 minutes ago, while I was standing right behind them. It (obviously)exploded and I got ink on my shirt, which is white, so I had to take it off and now I'm going to have to teach in a black
t-shirt I had in my car. I guess that's not all bad because I detest work shirts.

The class is here. Have a nice day.

Not much going on today... I'm still freakishly happy, though. My students have appreciated the lack of learning in my classes due to my complete joy. Most of them haven't noticed the addition of a pretty little ring to my finger. Ha, a couple of the GSA kids have, though.

I have a ringringringringringringring.

Well, it seems most of you wanted to know how he proposed. I don't really have a problem with saying it, because it's so damn cute.

Disclaimer: Jake is a kind of eccentric person, so it's a bit weird.

So I woke up, and when I looked at my hand, I had a ring on. Dialouge ensues:
"Jake?"
"Yes?"
"What's this?"
"What's what?"
"The ring."
"Oh, did I forget to mention this to you?"
"Mention what?"
"We're getting married."
Then there was about 5 seconds of silence. I smiled, he smiled, and then we kissed. It was so horribly romantic in it's own way.

It was perfect.

PS: We're not totally sure when the wedding is yet.

PSS: Sorry for using a PSS, because I HATE PSS's, but I feel I should mention I probably won't be on a lot because Jake wants to go to my mom's house over Thanksgiving break and I'm not totally sure if she has internet. Even if she does, I'm still finishing up my end-of-trimester work, which gives me limited free time.

I'm extremely happy today. Do you want to know why?
Because...

I have a ring on my finger.

A ring from...

JAKE!

Do you know what that means?

It means...

We
are


*engaged*


I love that word.

Engaged.
Engaged.
Engaged.
Engaged.

It's a fantastic word, don't you think?

I decided I don't care if we have to go to Massachusetts to get married. I really don't. Because I'm getting

married!

To Jake!

Dear God I am so happy right now. I can't concentrate on teaching.

I can't even write anything.

I'm going to go relish in my bliss right now.

Bye!

God, I love him so much.

I'm so happy I can't stop typing even if I have nothing to say...

I'm so in love with him... I love him I love him I love him

I like the sound of the name Chris Nielsen. Screw Winters, that name sucks anyways.

I love him... I love him so much!

So busy...
I hate it when trimesters end. All it means is a ton of work for me, and I hate working on weekends. Looks like I'll have to, though. I wish you could see the huge pile of papers sitting next to me; it's really quite horrifying.

Well, there's work to be done.

So, I didn't get today off from school. Chloe did, so Jake and I had an argument this morning about who she had to go to work with. Jake convinced me that it would not be a very smart move at all to put her in his resteraunt because there's nothing to do there. She'd get bored and destroy something, and that's not good. So she came to the school with me. Ha, all my students kept asking is she was mine and I always ended up saying "Uh... kinda?". I guess that couldn't have made much sense to them.

Well, there's work to be done. Oh, so much work. Have a great day.

A Tiny Picture
I don't want to put my face up, so I won't. Jake probably doesn't want his either. So, here's a tiny picture where our faces are rather blurry.

Choking! Not breathing!

Jake picked me up from the school on Friday after all the kids had gone home. His friends were with him, and they took a picture of me getting strangled in my classroom.
I just kind of felt like putting up a picture today.

My neighbors and their... discontents?
Today my neighbors came over. They're... interesting people. Well, not really. They're just a family consisting of a husband who brings home all the money, a housewife, and a stereotypically preppy 12 year old daughter. On a side note, they're very conservative. Anyways, they came over with the sole intention of saying this:
"Would you mind not kissing your... boyfriend... in front of any windows or open doors? We think it might be setting a bad example for Lillian here. We don't want her embracing your godless lifestyle."
-Insert Awkward Silence Here-
"...Godless?"
"Godless."
"I see."
"So will you refrain from...?"
"No."
"Hmph."
Then they just strolled back to their house.

Oh, what a strange neighborhood I've found myself in. The neighbors on the other side are just... odd. If I see them, they just STARE. They don't even move, they just freeze whatever they're doing and STARE. Maybe there's something in the air around here that makes everybody insane.

Have a nice day, everyone.

Ouch.
Guess what I did today! I cut off some of my thumb in the paper-cutter! Ah, it's not as bad as it sounds. It's like a paper-cut, only bigger and a lot more bloody. I'm okay, though. I just needed a band-aid and I got right back to teaching. Ha, when I told Jake he started freaking out. He really should learn that it's no big deal when I get hurt. I'm really spacey and clumsy so I get hurt all the time.

In other news, my birthday is in 25 days. That scares me because 25 days doesn't seem like that long... yikes. I really don't want to be 30.

Have a nice day.

Today I confiscated a Nintendo DS with a Mario game in it (How dare they play it in my class! The nerve). It's sitting right next to me and I *really want to play with it*. I think that's probably against one of the many teacher's rules, though. Grrr.

The phone is ringing.

Guess who that was? The principal. She called me because she "wanted to chat". Dear God, that woman scares me. She's 45 years old and she NEVER LEAVES ME ALONE. If I didn't like the school so much, I'd leave just so I didn't have to deal with her. Ha, I wish I had a picture of Jake's face when I picked up the phone and it was her. He looked like he wanted to punch her for calling me to flirt. Poor guy has jealousy issues.

Once again, I had an extremely mundane sort of day. How was yours?
