Ok so I said I would come back to Day 12. The two words that will always make me laugh are "punk ass" lmfao! Of course there's a story lol but it's not mine so I can't share it. 

Is it just me or is this the longest month ever? I'm only on Day 14 and I started this forever ago...oopsy...yall understand right?

Day 14 My life in the next 7 years. I changed it to Things I Hope to Accomplish in 7 Years. 

• Master's Degree
• My Own Car
• I'd like to be in a committed relationship
• Secret goal**
• I'd like to be a mommy or know that it's close
• Have a decent credit score
• Have completed 2 101 things in 1001 days goal lists

Those are the big things for me. Wish me luck!

Day 12 is two words or phrases that make me laugh.

Ummm that's hard! hmmmm....I might have to come back to this one.

Day 13 is my commute to and from work

I am picked up and dropped off by a young lady I went to high school with. We live near each other and have developed a friendship. We usually blow off steam in the car and catch up on each other's lives. It's pretty nice (except for when I oversleep and make us late).

Day 11 is my relationship status...? (why oh why)

Technically I'm single. I met a guy last summer. We got friendly. And we have a really good friendship.

I'm currently taking time to remember that that's all this is. Don't want any trouble... 
​
So that's where I stand. 

Day 9 My feelings on ageism

Ageism is something I didn't fully understand until my friend Rachel put it into perspective for me. I'm going to stick to discussing it and it's impact in my career.
I've never noticed it before, but now that I have I can't unsee it. When you're a young/new teacher, parents and other staff members look at you like that. You can sense the distrust, especially when you have parents who are your age or parents old enough to be your mom and dad. It's hard to ignore but I've been advised to let my work speak for itself and that's exactly what I'm going to do. It's going to happen, but it's not going to stop me from doing what I studied to do. BOOM!

Day 10 A fruit I dislike and why
I absolutely abhor bananas. Yuck. The texture is so weird. I can't get with that. The strange thing is that I like banana flavored things. 

Happy 2016!!! May it be filled with blessings and lessons 🎀🎀
