Oh wow. Remember when I had a blog, and I did stuff with it? Actually, if we count mental posts, I have made plenty since that last one. There was one about my classroom management philosophy that was probably going to sound like a whiney know-it-all who is not actually in the field yet. There was a morose woe-is-me kind of thing about having little money during the holidays. There was a picture-laden post about the new house we recently moved into.... But none of those posts happened. And really, now that I'm on break I'm not dwelling on classroom management. Yeah not working sucks, and the money thing is always going to be hard, but on this day after Christmas, I'm all warm and fuzzy and miles away from things to complain about.
So I'll skip right on to the new house post.
Sooooo verryyy bluueeeee
We moved in the first week of December, and we are so excited to finally be in our own space again! ewww I used the word "space."
It has hardwood floors, a double oven, and a countertop stove, and the rent is even affordable! The house is super old (1936 old), but it comes with lots of quirky charm, like how you have to learn how to turn each separate doorknob differently to close the doors. We also have a dishwasher that was probably made in the 70s, but it works!
And hey, here are some more housey pictures!
And then it was Christmas. And we decorated appropriately.
Not pictured under this tree (because, for some reason, it was at his parents' house still) is the gift Michael gave me, a drawing tablet! Wohoo!! I've been messing around with it, and I drew this little guy on request:
He's cold as ice, foo'
I need to put this tool to use on the comic I actually work on, but every time I stare at the page I'm supposed to be backgrounding I just draw a blank. It's like all the ideas I could have run out of my head and out the door. Hnnrrrghhhh...
In tablet-related news, I will quite prossibly be updating the look of this site, maybe adding a more frustratedly unemployed graduate for the background.
Anyway, that's it for me! I apologize if the train of thought of this post felt erratic and went nowhere! Maybe one day I'll get around to posting that classroom management philosophy.
