About Me

I am finally reunited with my husband again (after months of him in Turkey), which has all the perks one would expect it to have. I am a teacher who is addicted to Middle Schoolers and all the craziness they bring along with them. Next year I will be working with the students who failed, so I guess I should start watching Freedom Writers and Dangerous Minds. I am STILL, note the emphasis on still, working on my masters, and hope that one year will finish me up. I am also addicted to Law and Order and Starbucks. I can't help it. The world has so much to offer and Law and Order and Starbucks are the zenith of greatness.myspace
