See Amanda Calm...

Okay, now that I am calmed down and settled and feeling exponentially more intelligent than my last post I thought I'd fill you in with some updates.

SCHOOL/WORK (yes, they are the same): Boo ya. Apparently staying put in first grade. This is good news considering that the thought of going back to third grade was giving me a RyanAir-Barcelona-Flight type feeling. I loved my class last year. Don't get me wrong I totally loved them, but I didn't like teaching third grade. In first grade I get to teach letters and sounds and do part of my lesson with a puppet. No, not kidding. His name is Cletus the Cowboy and my students LOVE him. Seriously. I also get kids like Ethan who makes up Karate moves (aptly named The Flying Bat, The Sneak Attack, or the Cutter Lutter) at recess. Or Krishawn who tells me my earrings are fly and when we talked about the L sound kept singing the dirty, dirty Lollipop song by Lil Wayne. First grade is where it's at, yo.

HOUSE: Awesome. No battle. We got the best possible house in the best possible location with the best possible roommates. We are having a great time. Our ward is awesome. The commute to work isn't as hellish as I thought. We all had a crush on the Comcast man only because he was the bringer of cable and internet. It's perfect. ANNOUNCEMENT: House party. Our house. Friday night. Be there or be square. It's gonna be HOT HOT HOT.

DATING: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good times, good times.

AMANDA IS A MORON UPDATE: So I went to the Utah vs. USU game last weekend and was running to hug Ashley Brems Buck and totally ate bleacher. I fell in the middle of the Aggies section and looked and felt like a total moron. Is anyone surprised??

Okay, I promise pictures will come soon. Of the house and the game and whatever else I can think of. I'm just happy life has calmed down and football season has started and I can't stop watching. Oh so happy. Nothin beats a diet coke and a good game in our wood-panelled basement.

Come to the house party.

That is all.
