Lucky.
The world always looks brighter from behind a smile. -Author Unknown << Some of my 6th graders. This week has been unreal, and I’m pretty sure I’m the most blessed person on the planet. Though I was forced to fight through insomnia and my students were absolutely insane all week, I can still say that this has been one of the best weeks I’ve had since I’ve been back, and that’s something to be thankful for. For some strange reason there’s just been ...

Sick. Social. Smiling.
Well, my immune system is still the same as it’s always been and I’m sick. I’ve successfully made 3 consecutive trips to the hospital/doctor over the past 3 days–1) bloodwork, 2) work permit checkup, and 3) sick-ear/nose/throat doctor visit. After all of that, I can confidently say that I’m clear of all STDs, mental disorders, and leprosy; I’m not an alcoholic; I’m getting over my fear of needles; I have a “common cold”; and the nurses most l...

And yes, I ordered a McDonald’s #1 and had it delivered to my apartment…and I ate it all. Jud...

These are a few of my favourite things…
Once upon a time, I asked my dear friend and roommate Taylor Mobley a profound question…”So, how do you know if you’re bipolar?” She proceeded to tweet about it and laugh hysterically until she realized I was serious…then she just laughed some more. But really, people. I feel like I’m so up and down it’s insane. You know the phrase, “Life is like a rollercoaster,” right? Well…I bring new meaning to that one. It’s like I play emoti...

Real People.
My heart is breaking for the Thai people right now. Over 300 businesses and shops in Bangkok have been looted and destroyed over the past two days, and the nation as a whole is literally going through hell right now. Because of fires, Central World, CenterOne, Siam Theater, and Big C at Rajdamri were all damaged to the point where they will most likely have to be demolished. I got my tattoo at Big C back in January…I’ve been to these places. I spent most of my time hanging out in the...
