How do people get to work and such?
Here in Northern NJ (just outside NYC) we got ~11inches of snow during that storm... but it's been soo cold when the sun is down that the melting snow is turning to ice everywhere :-(, so you have to be careful both walking and driving.
Weekend, finally. Best schedule ever, haha!
man getting out of school is going to suck for you.Quote:

I've been randomly hearing speeches and interviews on the radio and at two different gatherings revolving around "finding the right career" and "one's calling." It all feels very uncomfortable to seek in the middle of the school year, but I think I'm going to go check it out anyway.
Are you under contract at all?Quote:

No, the charter school I'm at didn't have us sign contracts. We'll see how it goes.
The sun is shining, so bright! Summer is on it's way, I can feel it.
Look, I know you guys aren't religious or anything, but we just found out my husband has a cyst on his brain. We're going to a specialist next week for more tests and to talk about options. If you all could think positive healing thoughts our way, I'd appreciate it.
Wow, heavy news Carla. The best to you both!! How did you find out?
Absolutely. Thoughts are with you guys and hoping for the best.Quote:

He might have two surgeries in the upcoming month. :(Quote:

i join the support, i hope everything goes the best way possible
So after some serious thinking, I have decided that I am going to apply to do my PhD. When I finished my Master's I was considering it right away, but a Professor told me to really think about it because it is something that I would have to seriously commit 5 years of my life to. So it has been roughly two years since I finished my Masters, and a PhD is still something that I really want to do, so I figure why not?! So I am going to submit my applications in the Fall to hopefully start in Fall of 2014.
we're expecting our first major snow of the year this week. right at the end of the cold weather.
Any updates?Quote:

How's he taking it all? I can only imagine how scary it could all be and the kind of weight that's on both of you right now. Hopefully the other spot is a benign cyst as well.Quote:

He's staying positive. The second MRI happened today, so he's a bit woozy from it all.Quote:

No, it's not tradition. Her family is very upset that she's doing this. She's just that tacky. I don't mean the backyard wedding; I've been to a couple of those and they were nice enough. It's just that the phone invitation; last minute invite (we used to be best friends); and the actual asking to bring food, drinks, and chairs rubs me the wrong way.
Anyway, I have to share this too:
I was at my roller derby team meeting and one of the girls said, "I quit drinking." To which I replied, "Bitch, you have a beer IN YOUR HANDS." "Uh, I mean, I quit to the point of a three drink minimum." I find my conversations with my teammates hilarious. I've been giggling about that one since Thursday.
Hubby update: He had to have a third MRI done this week. Neurologist appointment will be on Tuesday to discuss results.
Okay, off to the farmer's market in the rain.
It's gonna snow again.
it's like 19 and sunny here today...Quote:

Half Belgium couldn't get to work or school yesterday because of the snowfall. I guess every country will laugh at us now?
Good news!
Hubby's scans showed that he has a magna cisterna cyst. That basically is a large growth that's not causing damage - so there's no surgery necessary. He's enrolled in a migraine study to see if we can find out what's causing his blinding migraines.
On the same day, I received a call about an interview at a charter school down the street. :D
Haha, awesome Carla! Enjoy your day!!
