registered for spring classes today! so far on the agenda: wills, trusts, and estates, legal ethics, intellectual property in cyberspace, federal personal income tax.
also got my exam deferrals secured so i won’t have to take four finals in five days, which would have been absolutely brutal (and against a lot of rules).
breathing a momentary sigh of relief!
visceral! not shocking, since i completely love city lights (lights over a city - you get me everytime) and bokeh.

grits - my life be like (ooh aah)
i’m sorry. if you this doesn’t make you happy, i’m not sure what i can do for you.
The 10 Best Real Simple Recipes of All Time
I love it when Real Simple tackles food. The recipes they publish are always delicious, nutritious, and SO easy (uhh… simple?). Plus, these dishes are all hearty and filling — perfect to try during the chilly fall and winter months. Put these recipes on your “to make” list right now:
- Golden Chicken with Tomatoes and Olives
- Southwestern Beef Chili with Corn
- Spiced Lamb Chops and Smashed Peas
- Baked Cod and Chorizo
- Curried Rice with Shrimp (pictured)
- Lasagna-Style Baked Ziti (I loooove this one! Use whole wheat pasta, lean ground turkey, and add more veggies, like zucchini or broccoli, to healthify it a bit.)
- Sweet Potato Risotto
- Basic Quiche
- Roasted Apple and Walnut Tarts
- Croissant and Chocolate Bread Pudding
mmmm the picture drew me right in, because i have more than a few pounds of shrimp waiting to be eaten! dinner party soon!

thetimelime answered: i have to teach a third grade class in 30 minutes… in a language i barely speak - romanian. whats the best way to impact a third grader?
this is the kind of question i’d ask on vark.com - i’ve gotten some really helpful answers! the kids i used to teach and babysit for loved to play games, or do projects where they could get involved. depending on the class you’re teaching, you could try to involve arts and crafts or fun activities for the kids to learn whatever lesson you are teaching!

coldplay - swallowed in the sea
i could write a song a hundred miles long …
get lost & then get found
the year this song came out was by far the hardest year of my life and yet, i never really listened to the song til this year. love it. poignant.
and for those of you keeping score at home, i’m still rebuilding my music. i’ll be doing a thank you dedication mixtape coming soon, and also a list of my favorite tumblr mixtapes (hints: iammattjordan, srsly, joshawesome, nathanieljames, indieandyy.) love you guys, love discovering great mixes and new music!
