Hitch Your Wagon to a Star

Gonna be a Jersey girl :)

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:09:59 GMT

So I'm super excited and counting down the days until I get to move in with my beloved Adam (aoumd) in Jersey City, then we'll be off to hopefully Bayonne or South Orange in October. We keep asking each other if 9 months ago either of us expected to be as lucky as we are today :) Of course, our friends and family laugh that they saw it from the beginning, as did I in some ways, but it works out much better this way. We had 5 years to learn and explore on our own who we are and who we want to be, and now we get to share that more intimately now that the time is right. I'm definitely gonna miss my family and friends who are here, but fortunately some of my good friends are in the NY area as well, so I have a lot to look forward to. And my friends here always have a place to stay in the NY area. I also love Bolt Bus because I can get back to DC for a dollar in 5 hours so I never have to lose touch.

Anyways, let me know when you're available to get together before August 3. Also, let me know whenever you're in the NY area so we can get together. My friends mean the world to me and with modern technology it's easy to keep up :)

So here's to the next phase of my life. The last time I moved (from Houston to MD when I was 11) I was excited to start a new life fresh. This time around, I'm excited that I can keep up with both lives and that I get to continue my journey of life with my best friend and soulmate. We've been looking out at the world together for 6 years and counting. When I'm 27 I'll have known him for 1/3 of my life!

In other news, my four of my cousins are coming in to visit tomorrow for the fourth of July and I'm super excited :) And I'm still job hunting, so if you know anything about NJ schools or know anyone I can talk to, let me know. Personal insights are always the best way to learn something about a new job. Peace, love, and happiness and enjoy the sunshine!

Whee :)

I'm so excited! I'm moving to NJ at the end of the summer with my awesome Adam :) I'll miss my MDers, but half of my closest friends are or will be moving to NY so that's super yay.

Teaching opportunity at Beth Chai in Bethesda

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 20:22:21 GMT

I know of a very good job opportunity at a Jewish religious school in Bethesda. It would be teaching preschool twice a month (make your own schedule) for about $25 an hour. Please let me know ASAP if you are interested in learning more.

So much to look forward to :)

Sun, 09 Mar 2008 17:38:36 GMT

While my professional future may be confusing and up in the air, but I know will end up where it's meant to be, I want to take the time to be grateful for what I do know I can count on and I'm looking forward to:
- Wonderful friends and coworkers I care about from the bottom of my heart - We know that even when times are busy we'll always be there for each other and once we get together again catching up will be great and easy :)
- The cruise in 2 weeks!!! - Wow :-D
- Tony's wedding plus Atlantic City
- Summer break :)
- A year of living a normal life
- Moving in with an amazing man
- A lifetime of growing and learning (with the amazing man barring any unforeseen circumstances)

As for now, I'm going to keep working my ass off to make every day everything it can be. We were put on this earth for a reason and I'm going to make the most of it. :)

Hugs and love :)

Thank You

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:47:43 GMT

This is a thank you to Adam, Meghan, Laura, Steph, Danielle, Sarah, my family, and my coworkers who have been so wonderful to me and I thank God for you every day. I love you :)

Livejournal what?

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 16:40:52 GMT

So the whole keeping up with things on a regular basis doesn't often work, but I figured I'd post for the hell of it.

I was really touched at parent teacher conferences when many of my parents were telling me how happy they are with everything I've been doing and how much their kids love me. It's a really nice validation of how much I've been working my ass off and how much I love their kids. I have lots of parents with very high expectations and to be a new teacher and get that kind of feedback is really nice. Since I always feel swamped and know I'm doing the best I can but there's so much more I want to be doing.

The great feelings at parent teacher conferences were definitely increased by the amazingly beautiful surprise earlier that day. I was having staff development time with my team in the staff development teacher's room and one of my coworkers brings in this gorgeous bouquet of flowers. I'm thinking they're for my staff development teacher because his wife has sent him flowers before. And she stands there and I'm not taking them and she says, "You are Rachel, aren't you? ;)" And it hit me and I was saying, "Oh my God" and "wow Adam". I was so close to crying. So I read the card and it says, "Rachel, wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you. All the best and I can't wait to see you soon! Love, Adam." No one's ever done that for me before! My teammates said, "So where's your phone?" I was even more surprised because I felt bad that I'd been so all over the place when I'd talked to Adam recently before. With report cards, parent conferences, and increasing expectations at work, I was trying so hard to listen and be there but my mind was all out of it and boring. But Adam's thought symbolized everything I love about him. We've been there for each other for 5 years plus 2 months, and even during times when we didn't have much time for each other, we always picked up where we left off. And each time our friendship grew deeper. I've loved him as a friend for a long time, loving him deeper is soooo easy and wonderful. And I'm so damn lucky!

I kept saying I hoped someone would come along who would appreciate how funny, intelligent, caring, special, warm, loving, passionate, etc Adam is. That someone could see past the initial quirkiness (which I find incredibly attractive) and see him as more than "that guy who loves trains". Then it finally sunk in (after Adam was brave enough to tell me that he would be interested in trying us out) that it's been me all along. That our differences are only on the surface and we're so compatible! And we both love learning about new things. Now I know we're even more similar when I hear about a train on the news and call Adam right away to find out what happened.

Wow that was long. I guess that's just me trying to say thank you.

In other news, my big (Amy) is married!!!! Loved hearing about the whole wedding in detail. It sounds beautiful and she's very happy :) I can't wait to see her.

It's been so wonderful to have a solid core of great amazing friends. Life here wouldn't be the same without Meghan, Steph, Sarah, and Laura. And on top of that to know I have many other friends that I wish I could see more but I care about so much and love hearing about how they're doing. And when we do get to catch up it's great! Hopefully get to see Robyn, Jackie, and Danielle again sometime soon. Thank you!

And to top it off I'm going to get lunch with my dad. Family rocks :)

Off to enjoy the first real relaxation I've felt in the past few weeks. I have work to do this weekend (as I ALWAYS) do, but I'm going to make sure to take care of myself too.

Next time I post I'll have to remember to tell some funny stories about my students. Like the kid who had to go home early because his eye burned from the cologne he had accidentally sprayed in it trying to impress the new girl.

Please comment with something important going on in your life that I might not know :) Or just anything to help me keep up!

Wow

Mon, 23 Jan 2006 04:33:52 GMT

Wow my room looks so incredibly good I can't even believe it. I didn't get it all done before break like I wanted to, but I'm much closer than expected and I worked really really hard. Feasibly, I could be done by a week from today and have it all organized and everything. Next steps of happiness but less priority are organizing my CD's, redecorating, and scrapbooking. If I get to those soon I will know I have succeeded. Then again I have too much school to worry about, so they'll probably happen during a break.

Hugs :)

Interview Round 2

Wed, 18 Jan 2006 21:09:24 GMT

So I had my second interview with the JCC today. It was with 3 people for 1.5 hours. Adam asked if I had char marks on my sides from all that grilling. It was rather grilling intensive. They asked a lot about what I would do in different scenarios. Overall I think I was on the ball, and some things I said they seemed really impressed by, but there are some things I either didn't have a very strong answer for or may have answered "wrong", especially with how to deal with situations with kids. I think the director of the middle school program might have thought I'd make big deals out of nothing, but eventually I think I made it clear that it's not that, it's just that you should deal with something when it comes up when it's not a big deal rather than wait for it to be out of control. "Dealing with it" can be as simple of reminding someone of a rule or pointing out that their behavior's inappropriate or disrespectful, not necessarily doling out punishments, telling the director, or calling the parents. But there are some things that should just be let go and you can let "kids be kids". My fear was that if you let something go in the beginning because it's not a big deal, it could grow until it is. Like if girls are giving each other kissing advice, eventually it could get into sex advice and giving each other condoms. But then again, kids do have a right to talk to each other without feeling like they're going to get in trouble for every little thing. I may not have thought about it too much before the interview, but I guess now I'd have to think about it more and would probably answer some things a little differently.

I guess there's no point in second guessing anything, since it's out of my hands now anyway. The root of it is probably that I have less experience with middle schoolers so I haven't really dealt with many of these scenarios, or if I have it was once and in a less formal setting or wasn't to the extreme. And that can become evident in an interview. But the other thing is that I just need to be confident in myself. Sometimes I guess I was saying what I thought they'd want to hear, rather than what I actually thought. Not that I was trying to lie or suck up, just that I was always aware that I was in an interview and it felt wierd to say, "I'd just ignore it" even though that may even have been what they wanted me to say or what I should do. Ok that doesn't make sense and I should just let it rest anyway.

On another note, I'm thankful to APO superlatives and APO in general. I was asked how my friends and coworkers would describe me, and the first thing I remembered was the "Good Listener" superlative, as well as the ones for spirit, and I said passionate and hard working and stuff. It's nice to have actual feedback to report. I should have said reflective too, because that's common feedback. But they were impressed enough by the good listener so it was cool.

Ok enough babbling about nothing. I should be cleaning my room right now. More people need to update on livejournal! I don't know what's going on with anyone!

Hugs :)

Feelin good

Wed, 18 Jan 2006 04:47:17 GMT

Wow got a lot done today. Used almost all the day productively and I'm even prepared and excited for my mondo interview. Only slightly nervous, whereas before I was rather nervous. It's with 3 people, which is a good sign since I don't think they'd bother to coordinate that many people's schedules if they weren't really interested. But it might mean some interesting choices as to which department or position I want. But more choices are better than none. While a job isn't guaranteed, they have enough positions available and it's early enough in the camp's hiring season that I have a pretty good shot. I'd love to be more formally a part of the whole Jewish community around here. And I'd get free membership, which includes gym, racquetball courts (!), pool, sports leagues, social events, classes, etc. So crossing my fingers :)

On another note, I'm making a lot of personal breakthroughs. Still have a long road ahead but it's looking bright.

Thanks to James for the book, everyone should read "The Perks of Being a Wallflower". Great coming-of-age book. Great book in general.

Hugs to Steph and Adam for calling/sending postcards/giving nice thank you card. Very much appreciated and warm-fuzzy inducing.

A heads up: I will probably not exist much this semester. I'm really passionate about teaching and plan to really put myself in that. I'm also really working on time management. So that means I will have trouble balancing both work and social life/APO, even moreso than many other teachers. I plan to keep in touch with friends and come to campus on weekends, but I'll probably only have Saturday nights to see people. Friday nights I'll see Hillel people. So I'm really counting on my friends to have patience and know that just because I can't talk or see you much doesn't mean I'm not thinking about you. And if I hesitate to make plans, please be supportive and not take it personally. It means that when I do make plans I'll be able to truly enjoy them, focus energy on others, and not feel guilty.

That being said, I fully expect that anyone who needs help, advice, or wants to talk will let me know. No matter what else is going on in my life, I always want to be there for people I care about. I won't get offended if you go to someone else, even if you're a best friend, as long as you get what you need. But if you think I can give you what you need or help in any way, please call, IM, text message, whatever, no matter what time it is. And if I can't help you I'll try to direct you to someone who can.

Hugs and goodnight :)

Only one week left

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 02:27:47 GMT

So I only have one week left of break. And I'm going to spend it all working. Have accomplished many things this break, but still need to do organizing, mostly of files, which was originally (and still is) one of my top priorities. But I've got distracted along the way. All productive things though. Including Wednesday I have a second interview with the JCC. It was going to be two people, the director of the camp and the director of the middle school program, now it's 3 (add on the head of the inclusion program). That'll be a little intimidating. But I guess it's a good sign. I'm happy it's coming up soon, because it was going to be really hard to coordinate with student teaching.

The MLK service project with City Year was awesome. Nice and relaxing with just Terri and Mike, although I was hoping more people would come. City Year's made up of 17 to 25 year olds though, so there were plenty of people to talk to. So I got a great balance of Mike and Terri and new people. We painted a very cool yet VERY abstract mural at a high school in D.C. We know it was a cooking scene, but we're not sure what the guy was cooking . . . It was so relaxing though, and distracted me from real life for a bit. The school really needed it and I needed it too. I'd love to do City Year for a Day projects to balance out teaching. Both benefit kids, but the weekend gives me a break from directly working with them and gives me a chance to meet people and have conversation just for the hell of it.

It was really nice to see Terri and Mike though. I have a lot of common experiences and memories with them and always like the chance to talk, although it really doesn't happen much. They're really good and unique people, which is refreshing. Cute, funny, and wierd too. Gotta love it. And got some inside perspective of APO I haven't had in awhile since i haven't been around as much this semester. I end up with an indepth yet limited perspective from only talking to one or two people in depth about APO. And they're both very knowledgable (sp?) and insightful about things.

Ok I really need to get to work. I don't have much time till school starts up again and I have a lot to do. I have to get my confidence up, which isn't gonna happen if I'm a lazy bum and let myself down.

MLK Service Project

Sat, 14 Jan 2006 07:31:08 GMT

Is anyone going to/want to go to the City Year MLK Day service project on Monday? It involves painting and fun young people. Everyone loves this project! But I haven't heard about who's going. So let me know :)

What a day

Wed, 11 Jan 2006 21:20:52 GMT

"I was thinking that I might fly today, just to disprove all the things that [I] say."

This is the first time in a long time I can really say I'm truly happy. I think God's really on my side right now. In that I really believe everything happens for a reason and in its own time, and right now is the time. I've been dealing with a lot of personal challenges right now, trying to be the person I want to be and accomplish my goals. And I'm really working at it and making progress. My self confidence is improving, I'm understanding myself better, and I think for the first time since all this started probably I year ago, I have hope, and faith. The reason today is the day is that my mom just called to tell me she and her husband are splitting up. Some people on here know the signifance of that, most people don't. But in cliffnotes version, it's wonderful news and it means she can finally become the person she has the potential to be. She's been working so hard to grow for a long time and finally she's grown enough to take this important step. The downside, and it's a big downside, is that it will be really hard for her and the rest of the family. But she knows that I understand that and that will help. And now maybe my half brother has some hope too, but that will take awhile. I hope just not too late. Some might say it should have happened a long time ago, but it wasn't time. I could have dealt with the stuff I'm dealing with a long time ago too, but it wasn't time yet. But today, for the first time in a long time, I have hope. And I'm happy. Scared yes, nervous yes, but hopeful.

The first positive effect of all this is that I had the first truly honest conversation I've had with my mother in a long long time. It felt so damn good.

If anyone wants to know anymore details or understand the history behind my mom's stuff or mine, you're welcome to ask, but that's up to you. I won't be hurt if you don't.

Have a wonderful day :)

Done

Tue, 10 Jan 2006 06:45:39 GMT

After way longer than I thought, I finally finished my application/other required stuff for my summer job. Well at least the one I want the most (Camp JCC). And it's helped me get ready for applying for jobs in the fall because I have lots of confirmed references and a resume. Kinda sad to think that the other job I applied for never got back to me. Or if they plan to, it's sure taken awhile. That was at an organization that runs community service programs with high school students. But that's ok, I'm not really interested in them anymore because I want to stay within my certification age, which is 1st through 8th grade. I want to continue to build my teaching resume, since I don't know what the future will bring. I hope to work with the middle school program at Camp JCC. Some call me crazy, others call me smart for trying to get experience in all age groups. I like the challenge. Lucky for me, I hear "the challenge" pays more. (btw, I heard that from

I keep staying up too late. I gotta stop that. Fortunately it's because I'm being productive, not because I'm screwing around. Or at least if I screw around, it's not for as long as normal. But I still have to get into a normal work routine, and I don't think going to bed at 2 am is it.

On a side note, Ashley G called me today. It was really nice to hear from her. I really like her but we've lost touch, what with APO cliques, me being off campus, and busy lives. Warm fuzzies for friends, especially long lost ones. Adam called me today too from Hawaii. I felt really bad because I was kind of distracted at the time. But I know he understands. Super warm fuzzies though for friends who call from overseas. Benito did that one year too I think for my birthday and it was really nice.

I miss people but I'm happy that I've been working on time management and actually do productive shit when I need to. I don't even feel too lonely because I'm focused on my work. Definitely growing up. But I have a lot of work to do to be where I need/want to be. I will feel really happy when I have my self confidence back and finally feel like I have control over my life. Maybe then the right guy will come along and everything will come together. But as long as I'm together, the guy doesn't even matter. Can't say it would hurt though. ;-)

Eww + love haha no those don't go together

Mon, 09 Jan 2006 03:36:20 GMT

Ewwy randomly getting sick all of a sudden. Maybe it's the going to sleep too late? Or the incredibly amount of smoke that was in the kitchen after we made steak? Or the really really cute baby at the JCC job fair today. Or maybe I'm just sick and yeah. Maybe that means I won't get sick when student teaching starts. Yeah right.

Laura P might apply for a summer job with me. That's cool. I've never worked with a friend before. I was always jealous of people who did.

I wish I was in a relationship without actually being in a relationship. But I don't think that's possible. And I don't mean like dating without being in a relationship. I mean having that warmth in your heart all that time and being in someone's arms, but somehow still being able to figure out my own shit and focus enough energy inward. Problem is I need to go in the opposite order. I need to learn how to focus my energy inward before I can let myself be in a relationship again so I can channel that inward energy outward and not just give up all my energy outward and not keep any of it for myself. If that made no sense, that's ok, that's why it's a journal.

:)

Sat, 07 Jan 2006 03:54:36 GMT

Good day. Hoping for another tomorrow. It should start well, since I'm doing service for the first time in too long.

Speaking of which, who's gonna do the City Year for a Day project on MLK Day? I'm pretty sure we'll be painting murals, which is really funy. It'll be totally awesome, but only if there are lotsa bros there. Or at least a few. So come!!! (And tell me if you're coming cuz it's nice to know, but most importantly you should tell Terri.)

Also, advice. I might have lots of options for summer jobs at the JCC (if I'm lucky). But I don't know which to choose. It'll probably be between the middle school program where I get experience with middle schoolers, who I'll be certified to teach but have almost no experience with. Another option is to be an inclusion counselor, which means that I'd be a one-on-one counselor for a camper with a disability who's integrated into one of the other camp programs. Which is great experience for the classroom, esp since they're moving to full inclusion, but I can experience with the inclusion aspect by being a regular counselor with inclusion kids in my group. Or I could do a sports camp with an age I like, which would be fun but probably not as beneficial for future teaching needs.

Whee

Fri, 06 Jan 2006 05:02:24 GMT

So the interview with the JCC went well, and it turned out it went better than expected when I received good feedback from it later on. The woman who interviewed me said she wanted to pass my resume on to other departments who might be interested, because the camp has all sorts of ages and I have all sorts of experiences. Or I guess that was it. So I emailed her a cover letter ish email and my resume and she said she hoped that after I looked at stuff that her camp program (with middle schoolers) would still be at the top of her list. So I guess that's a good sign. I'll really like if I get to work at the JCC. It'll be a nice way to get into the Jewish community in the area and I'll get a free membership for the summer! Yay racquetball :) Hopefully between all the different camps they have something will be for certain and I'll have a summer job that I can pick up in future summers to make some extra cash to supplement my teacher's salary. Or just save myself from boredom.

On another note, my parents helped me realize that I was spending a whole bunch of time on something that it's pointless to do, so now I have a huge thing to cross of my to-do list. That's liberating. Now I can actually focus on organizing my room, which I'm definitely gonna need for next semester.

Random: I'm pissed cuz I keep hearing commercials for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America, which I really want to volunteer for but don't have time. Bah. Maybe that will be another motivation to get this time management shit down.

Well I'm gonna call it quits for the night. Congrats to Terri on doing so well, I'll miss you Adam when you're in Hawaii (and when you're working all over the country next year), congrats to Derek on two great interviews.

Night :) Woops I missed it, it's morning now.

Crazy Day

Thu, 05 Jan 2006 04:46:14 GMT

So today started like shit but is ending ok. I just did not feel well today, probably because I had a dissapointing, non-productive day the day before, which is bad when my to-do list for winter break is unreal. Today I went to the Learning Assistance Services center to get help on time management, which I know in the end will be helpful but was frustrating as hell because now I have 3 different management systems going on at 1 time and it's driving me nuts. I spent awhile crying out my frustration, I think with my entire winter, semester, year, who knows. Sometimes you need emotional flushing. Went for a run, which was great but made me more frustrated because I haven't exercised in way too long and have no endurance. But the walking part was nice too. Went to this cool place near my house that's a big empty space with power lines. It has lots of overgrown stuff and kinda secret passageways. I've looked at it before but never really explored. That was cool until I thought I saw someone in the distance and it was getting dark and I was afraid of boogeymen coming to get me, so I went back to the main road. I'll have to go back exploring there either when there's more light out or with company.

So by the end of the emotional flushing and first time outside for more than 5 min in who knows how long, I actually got back my motivation and confidence to work, so I got some productive stuff done. Unfortunately I didn't get my main goal for the day done, but I did end up cutting down my resume by a whole lot, which will help for my interview tomorrow. I hate it when you do things you need to but didn't realize you needed to do, because you're productive but haven't cut down the "published" to-do list at all. I also had progress today because I dealt with my shit mostly myself and actually actively got myself back to work, instead of spending hours talking or thinking about it and not actually doing anything about it. I'm getting where I want to be, but it's a slow and painful process. Ok well I'm gonna get carpal tunnel, so it's time for bed. Thanks Robyn and Adam for the resume help :)

Service

Wed, 04 Jan 2006 17:16:16 GMT

So I know something's wrong when I can't even remember the last time I did a service project. Well come to think of it it was Thanksgiving, but I wasn't working directly with the people I was serving, which I really miss. And considering I'm applying for a job at a place that provides service opportunities to high school students, it's probably bad I haven't done service in forever. So I'm doing KEEN Swim this weekend. It's part of KEEN, which is the organization that initially got me interested in service. You can find out more about it at www.keenusa.org (we're greater DC).

If anyone is interested in doing the KEEN Swim program this Saturday morning, let me know. I think we'd get there at 8:30 if you haven't done KEEN before. It's at the JCC in Rockville on Montrose. It goes until about 10:15. You can find more about it at http://www.keengreaterdc.org/published/programs/keen_swim.html and let me know if you're coming so I can make sure you register. And for anyone who's brains are working slowly at the moment, make sure you wear a swim suit :) And if there's anyone who can't do it this Saturday but think KEEN sounds interesting, let me know that too. I really want to work it back in my schedule, I just have to find times that work for and not against my time management system (whatever that may be). I love the Sunday afternoon sports program but Sunday afternoon tends to be work or family time, so I chose a morning one because it gets me up and moving when normally I'd be a lazy bum.

On another note, I'm going today to learning services at Maryland to see a time management counselor. It's part of my "get my act in gear" and get ready for real life initiative. I hope it's helpful, and that I actually do whatever I'm supposed to do. Anyways, have a good day :) And let me know about the KEEN thing.

Motorola Baby

Tue, 03 Jan 2006 20:26:10 GMT

I have now officially made my brother's MP3 player mine. I had been lazy and was using it with his music, much of which is fun to listen to, but I just cleaned it up and kept the music of his Iwanted and got rid of a lot. And I've started to add my own, but that will be a process. Since I have more than 150 CD's, plus his other stuff I might steal and my parents and any other music I get along the way. So I'll have to pick and choose and prob refresh it every once in awhile. But for now, I have 1.88 GIGS to keep me happy and 3.22 left to go. Also need to make playlists. But I'll be ok for now :)

haynocuchara: my friend has an idea for a tv sitcom
AthenaUMD: haha what?
haynocuchara: its called "will take care of tolu" and its about you and jesse living together. Its called that because Jesse's wife has to take care of you, and he meets her after he puts out an ad for a woman that says "must be willing to take care of tolu drunk." The two characters get into lots of troulbe together that Jesse's wife has to get them out of. She's a corporate lawyer who takes care of both of them. Keenan Thompson plays you and Jesse is played by Will Ferrell, and Natalie Portman is Jesse's wife.
