Surviving

I've survived my first quarter teaching! I now get to enjoy a two week break, quite brilliant really. I have enough time to decompress AND plan my next quarter. Awesome.

Other than that, life is going along quite well. I still think teaching is an all-encompassing, ridiculously time consuming job, but I am liking it more and more. We shall see.

IKEA is My New Best Friend

I was skeptical about Ikea being as great as everyone says. I was wrong to doubt.

Not only is it cheap, but it's also organized so that you can't get lost in the store. It's like they made it for me! I walked out with an adult bed! I finally look like an adult! I still need a couch that isn't puppy-eaten and therefore covered in an old sheet. Next weekend? Why not? Ikea is cheap as all get out.

Because Ikea is only two hours away and I now know how awesome the place is, I think that every piece of furniture I get will be from there. I hear it all falls apart, but I'm still in the honeymoon phase with Ikea. I'm sure it can do no wrong.
