merry end of 2009!

Well, the student teaching semester officially ended on December 10, 2009. I graduated from college 2 days later and now I find myself enjoying the life of a lazy bum a little bit too much.

Good thing the holidays are here to help me excuse my behavior for a few more days. There's something about just hanging around the house that I love so much: eating our leftovers, eating our Christmas candy, watching Nat Geo or History Channel specials with my dad, watching movies with my family, basically eating and watching TV in general...it could be pretty embarrassing if everybody knew how much TV is actually watched and how much treats are actually consumed around our home on a daily basis.

Anyway, the thought of going back into a school makes me groan inside. Just a wee bit. I sure do love not having to do anything. I guess I could more adequately say: I love wasting my time. This love of cruising Facebook for the latest gossip is sometimes beneficial - today I was able to call a friend and congratulate her on her engagement and her fetching new diamond, a mere day after the event, because of FB photo updates. But lingering over FB to get all caught up on everybody's doings is slightly lame. Just like zipping around on Etsy and jcrew's sale section to shop for everything I don't really need is kind of silly. Especially when it takes up an hour or two.

I have all this free time because of a December graduation with a degree that doesn't lend itself well to a mid-year-job opening. So, this would really be a great time to write. To read. And write some more. To scrapbook - maybe even finish scrapbooking freshman year of college (which was begun this summer...yick)!

But I do want a job, though. At least there's a few more days of productive leisure to be had before I hit up the school websites again...
