Better Together... and my first CURRENTLY

So I'm super excited to do this for the first time... feel like a real teacher blogger by linking up to others.



Right now I'm enjoying the last full day of my spring break.  Here in rural Alaska we don't get a whole week off for Spring Break.  It's really a long weekend with Friday and Monday off.  Thankfully that was enough for me to catch up on much needed sleep and cleaning.  I'm rediscovering music from high school and college.  Where has all the good music gone??  And I'm getting ready to move back to Indiana.  Yes.  This 2nd year teacher has decided to make the transition from Alaskan adventurer back to Hoosier lady.  Hence the cleaning, packing and fountain diet coke reference.

My like, love, and hate are as follows:
LIKE:  I like donuts... especially Long's Bakery (local Indy bakery I've been craving.)
LOVE:  I love to dance... especially in parking lots with my sweetheart.  Gotta love romantic gestures.
HATE:  I hate degrading words... The R-word, N-word, B-word... you name it.  If it's meant to hurt someone instead of build them up, I probably hate it.

Alright *whew*  there's my first "Currently" post.  Thanks to the teacher blogger Farley for creating something so cool!

  1. Alaska sounds so intriguing! But...cold! I'm a Georgia girl so we can't take the cold. Hope your move back to the lower 48 goes smoothly! Also...LOVE me some Jack Johnson too!!!

    1. Alaska is quite the experience. I actually started blogging because I was starting my first year teaching in such a unique place and wanted to keep people updated on what life was like out here.

      It is cold, but we've had a mild winter. Lowest temps recently have been -40. Last year it was -60. ;)

      Jack Johnson is one of my must haves when it comes to grading or falling asleep. So glad I'm not the only one.

  2. Glad to find you all the way from Alaska! I feel like you would need a longer Spring Break just to warm up...or do we all just think it's freezing all the time! :)

    1. The temps here are sometimes outrageous, but after the first month of sub-zero temps you get used to it. :) Glad to have found you too... hopefully I'll be teaching somewhere in the Indy area sooner rather than later.

  3. This month was my first "Currently" as well. I am laughing a little because I listed Alaska under my "Like" and just popped in to read yours and see that you are from Alaska. I have never been there but am dying to visit!

    1. YAY!!! I'm glad you're a supporter of my teaching up here. But I have sad face news... I'm moving back to Indiana (Hoosier girl at heart!).

      I am so glad you puffy heart fountain Diet Cokes. I have been seriously craving them for about a month now. Only 1 more month before I get to have my first since Christmas. :)


      Glad to have a new follower. I'll be adding you as well.

    1. Seriously, about the donuts and fountain diet coke, I would pay an arm and a leg from some real bakery donuts. I might have a chance at those in the next 2 weeks, but after that I have to wait 2 more months!!!

      You can do it. Push until the last day, so you'll feel better about going on break. I slept most of mine. ;)

      Where are you moving?? I'm glad I'm glad I'm not the only one making the big leap.
