I'm a rebel

Alright, I know you're all laughing. Who am I kidding? Me - a rebel, what a joke. Fact: I really am a rebel - a Runnin' Rebel. That's right. Today was my first day of graduate school at UNLV. I'm getting my MEd in PK-12 Educational Leadership. In English that means public school administration. I'm not entirely convinced that I want to become an administrator, but we'll see how it goes.

In other news, school (my day job) starts on Monday. I'm not even close to ready, but I don't think that time will stop moving for me to get ready. Does anyone remember the show "Out of this World"? The one with Evie - the girl who was half human and half alien and when she touched her fingers together everyone else would freeze and she could do whatever she wanted. I want that magic power! Too bad neither of my parents are aliens...................

My Tiger Beat Crush

Yes, it is true. Just like every 13 year old girl in the country, I have a huge crush on Zac Efron. Although I enjoyed his performances in High School Musicals 1 and 2, I did not love him until Hairspray. Have you seen it? If you haven't, you need to. I just bought the soundtrack and am enjoying it thoroughly. I'm sure I'm not the only slightly-too-old -for -him fan............will anyone else admit to this with me?

It's that time of year again............

Can you smell that??? It's the smell of freshly sharpened pencils, new backpacks, shiny new shoes. That's right. School is starting soon! I have mixed feelings about this. While it is VERY sad that my fun summer is ending, I am a geek at heart and really love school. So, it's back to Del Sol.

Back from North Carolina

I'm excited that I can now check North Carolina off of my list of states that I've travelled to. Besides 5 days of work-related conference classes, I had the chance to see and do some fun things. I went to the UNC campus (that's where the conference was), walked around the quaint town of Chapel Hill, ate lunch on the Cape Fear river, see the USS North Carolina battleship, go to the beach in Wilmington, wade in the Atlantic ocean, and survive pre-hurricane rain.

Here are a few pictures of the trip.
