I never remember to take pictures.

I really never do. I have a few new outfits you guys didn't see last year but I always forget to take pictures. I remember at random times. Weirdly when I'm at mom/dad's. Probably because Mom points out my new outfit. James doesn't as much... he usually doesn't see my school clothes. So two outfits in this post. 

Outfit 1: 
Dress: Charlotte Russe
Blazer: Charlotte Russe
Belt: Charlotte Russe
Tights: Kohl's
Shoes: Payless
Haircut: yes, this pictures is AFTER the one below. Notice the 2.5 inches gone. 

Outfit 2:Yes, mostly black. Unlike me I know. 
Blouse: Forever 21
Skirt: Forever 21
Tights: present from mom
Shoes: present from Ange

New Year, New Outfits... maybe :P

I'm baaaack!
I decided one of us had to be. I miss seeing your beautiful faces all the time. Unfortunately, I haven't been wearing too many new outfits. So they're boring to take pictures of. But I have a few new additions to my collection, haha. And I finally thought to take pictures when I wore them. So here we are... 

Dress: Charlotte Russe
Sweater: Bob's
Tights: Kohl's
Flats: Payless
Belt: mom's closet because I forgot to bring one to my parents... doesn't quite fit the way I wanted, oh well

And while we're at it... dress down Friday. FIRST day I wore pants to school this year. You know how much I hate pants. 

iphone: YES finally
Shirt: Forever 21
Jeans: Kohl's
Scarf: Wet Seal

I shall try to remember more frequently... and you should too! I miss you <3

The Bittersweet End

I figured it out, I may not be able to post photos here BUT I can link to my eFolio where you can see said photos! HA! So this eFolio was basically our Master's Thesis... but not quite. It was all about our teaching and etc. You should check mine out...but really :) 

notice these pages for cuteness and photos: 

• Classroom Leaning > Description and Characteristics (they're adorable letter they wrote me the last day as well as the picture of all of us)
• Classroom Learning > Reflection on Growth (things they said in their surveys!!!)
• Overview > Photo Montage (lots of pictures! YAY)

But yes, my last day there were lots and lots of tears. They sang to me, Baby Please Don't Go, Don't You Forget About Me and Smile. Then they threw me a surprise party. Oh my goodness. So many tears and hugging and pictures. Geez. But they're awesome and I love them and I miss them already. But I'm also glad to be done, applying to jobs, etc. Trying to take time for myself, that's hard. I feel like I'm still so busy. Then graduation is next weekend, ahhhh. It's all ending. I can't believe I finished my Master's... I did it! :)

Formal Attire

Hiii lovelies. Did I mention I'm done with student teaching? I shall post those pictures in a minute... well actually... I'm not sure I'm allowed to. Post pictures of the kids I mean. They're on my teacher facebook because only the kids can see them there. But I don't know. Sad times. Anyways. Formal at WPI. We got all dressed up, he couldn't find his red tie, fail. Oh well. I also posted this picture on my teacher facebook because I promised the kids I would because formal was the day of my last day so I wouldn't see them on Monday. They all liked it and commented, haha. Too cute. They also came to my eFolio presentation, 8 of them did, awwww. They're so adorable. I love them. So formal. Dancing, drinking, debauchery, haha. Not really though. It was fun. 

Same outfit I wore to the casino for Dave's birthday way back in December. I went out and found a different formal dress but then decided I liked this one better. And the theme was thrift shop.. we didn't follow that. It was like mixed half and half those who did and those who didn't, oh well. 

But this is James! The new boy :) I met his family this weekend and he graduates Saturday, the same day as Ange which means I get to be in two different states for graduation on Saturday, haha. But yup, I just figured I'd share 

Jobby Job Fair

Yes, I went to a job fair today. I forgot to take a picture of me dressed up today. Instead I have one from last night when I was making people approve my outfit. Lol. Anyways. It was interesting.

THE BEST OUTFIT YET... according to Nisha. Haha. She took this lovely photo of me. 

So usually what happens is that I go to school in some dress/tights combo and then when I get home put sweatpants on over said tights when I get cold. Then a sweatshirt on over my dress when I get colder. But still leave the dress on. It's my new fashion trend I'm starting, lol. So Nisha said this had to go on the blog. I'm adorable, haha. Then a certain boy stopped by for a visit... I know, on a school night, I'm a horrible teacher sometimes :P BUT he came to me and he didn't complain when I made him get up and out of bed at 7 when I left for school. He wanted to come over and stay over regardless. Perfect. Except... I think I may be starting to actually like him... problem? Unsure. 

Dress: Banana Republic

Happy Friday!

Yay it's Friday! I did tons of errands this afternoon. And I'm about to go out to dinner with Nisha's dad and such. Then to a 80s/90s themed frat party at WPI. Oh life. 

Dress: Forever 21
Tights: Target
Boots: Kohl's
Earrings: Kohl's

"Ms M can we go shopping together?"

Haha, apparently the ninth graders love my outfits. They want me to take them shopping... or just shopping in my closet. Oh life. Everyone told me I looked nice today though :) It's always nice to hear. 

Blouse: Nisha's closet
Tank top: Kohl's
Skirt: Forever 21
Tights: Target
Shoes: that fun shoe store at the mall back home

NEW TEACHER SHOES!!!

I love them! These are the ones Ange got me for Christmas. They're super cute, everyone loved them. This is actually the same outfit I wore for the funeral 2 weeks ago except I was wearing panty hose instead of the maroon tights, bad idea considering part of the service was outside. Panty hose don't protect against the cold. Not at all. So I decided tights today. Of course I wear boots to school and change. But yup. 

Dress: Kohl's
Sweater: Nisha's that I borrow constantly
Tights: Savers
Shoes: cool shoe store in the mall I never remember the name of
Earrings: Kate's mom 

I left out pictures of my face, lol. I think the bags under my eyes are getting worse :/ still not sleeping much, or consistently, ugh. The kids said I looked super tired today and look back on the photos from yesterday and Friday... you can definitely tell. Not okay. 

False sense of reality

So today I subbed for Shannon, she was out with department stuff. I'm doing the same thing tomorrow. It makes the day sooo much longer. However, the juniors love me so they don't give me any problems. Unfortunately, I know it won't be that way in the real world. Anywhere I teach next year is going to be SOOO much different. 

Shirt: Van Huessen
Skirt: Van Huessen
Tights: Target
Flats: Payless
Earrings: Kohl's

Sadly, I got these tights for Christmas and wore them today and got a run in them :( I was very upset by this. On the up side ... maybe ... not really, at least I know I looked nice today because I got hit on by the man at CVS this morning when I went to buy colored folders for my stations. "It's always a good morning when I have a beautiful face in front of me." Oh geez. And then Bryant confirmed it. Good times. This is my life at school. The kids were super productive today though, for the most part. 

Don't mind the mess that is my laundry... oops. 

Casual to the Extreme

It's been a long week, happy Friday! I'm crashing, so I took pictures sitting on the couch. I need to wake up, I'm about to go to the movies. But it's going to be a relaxing evening. That's what I need. But the kids have been actually really wonderful this week. Today we did a scavenger hunt on scientific notation, well multiplying and dividing scientific notation. After my Superbowl lesson yesterday/today ish. Good times. 

Awkward angle for these photos, sorry lol
Earrings: Old Navy
Orange sweater: Forever 21
Tshirt: Kohls
Jeans: Sears (my teacher skinny jeans)
Boots: Costco (my fake uggs)

And my ponytail - courtesy of Terry, she wanted to know earlier in the week if I ever wear my hair in a ponytail. Obviously I don't usually. But we decided casual Friday I could. Apparently, it makes me look younger. And whiter? In the sense like I go to a white high school and am a preppy cheerleader. The things kids say. But they said they liked it? I just looked so much younger. I got mistaken for a student a few times, oh life. It's been a long week. I used all my signature outfits and today I just didn't particularly care. Of course, since I was doing such an awesome lesson, I was videotaping 9A and had someone video tape during 9B so it's captured on film... oh geez. Poor planning, haha. 

Yes, I'm alive ;)

But really. That title says it all. And of course I'm in a rush so I forgot to take a photo of my school clothes. It's okay, it's my go to outfit on mornings I don't feel like thinking... like this morning because OF COURSE the nyquil doesn't knock me out, ugh. Anyways so you get my physical therapy/gym clothes instead :)

Shirt: Ange's soccer 2012 NCAA division championships shirt

Leggings: Kohl's

Adorable smile: my kids, they were actually super cute today. "Ms. M, my condolences" - who knew they even knew that word?! And lots of hugs, some rather inappropriate but apparently they're glad I'm back... so am I. I showed them a scientific notation song and rap today, clearly the coolest teacher ever. We're doing a lesson on the Superbowl later this week and lots of fun games. Hehe. I feel like me again ... ish but better than nothing :)

PENGUINS!!!

Yes it is a Friday night at 11:43. Yes I am slightly tipsy. Yes you are totes jealous you didn't get these penguin cards from your students. Haha. Long story short. School started back on Wednesday, I was out Wednesday and Thursday. I went back today to find these. Awwww. So adorable. And we had our teacher holiday party this evening (for work). Lots of teachers, lots of alcohol, lots of karaoke and just dancing, haha, it was a good night. But I made it a point to go home alone. Yes. No boys. Good plan. Because that could get complicated and I've kind of sworn off boys for a while... to say the least. Like I said, long story short. 

NYE Update...

Here is what I actually looked like on ACTUAL New Year's Eve :) New haircut :))
