ONLY 5 MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL!!!
and this week should be a little less jam-packed with meetings. i just need to do a lot of paperwork and stuff and, of course, have my famous speech parties!!!

last night matt and i went to see the new star wars movie. we used our movie gift certificates, so i'm glad we didn't pay real money for the show. the certificates also allowed us to purchase popcorn and a giant coke, which neither of us needed and both regretted after having racing hearts a couple hours later. back to the movie, though: although this one wasn't QUITE as boring as the other two, the acting was horrible! the special effects were pretty cool, i must say. i wanted to see more wookies, personally. the best part of the movie was that we saw a "the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe" full preview. it looks AMAZING!!! i can't wait for december 9th!!!!

next sunday matt and i will be going up to pasadena to see rydogg. matt will have to go back sunday night, of course, since he has to work on monday. but i'll stay there on sunday night and monday night and hang with him. then i'll come home and continue my relaxation for the next 9 weeks!!! i plan to NOT think about work the entire time! ha! i actually may have an opportunity for really part time work (per diem) with kids ages birth-3. i'm playing phone tag with the guy right now, but i was referred to this agency by my friend who is an occupational therapist. she works 2 1/2 hours/week for the agency and loves it. we shall see...

then on to cincinnati on june 30, then on to hilton head with the good/byrd side of the family on july 2. i can't wait to see silly hannah at the beach! i wonder if she'll be dining on as much sand as she was this time last year... the only thing missing will be kevin and emily--we wish you guys were coming!

i'm listening to nada surf--how did i miss them in the mid-late 90s? they're pretty good.
oh yeah, upcoming shows i'm excited about include (but are not limited to):

-street scene festival (including the killers, pixies, white stripes, hot hot heat, deathcab for cutie, snoopdog (wha?), dashboard, flogging molly, flaming lips, kasabian, international noise conspiracy, von bondies, and more)
-ben folds (yay! i've been waiting forever to see him in a smoke-free environment!!!)

i really must get my hair cut. it has been since christmas and i must say my head is beginning to look like a triangle when i actually do wear my hair down. it's not a pretty picture, people!!!

welp, enough of my ramblings!
