I am a bit of a dork...

In case you hadn't noticed :)

I un-apologetically use terms that are too big for my students to understand. Like diligently, facetious, idiosyncrasies, exponential, etc. I am just as used to translating for them as I am for some of my peers. Sometimes, like my mom, I tell them to go look it up.

I get excited when I start talking about savings accounts, interest rates, growth potential, and other things that make most people anxious.

I love autumn and hiking and lately colder weather. I somehow inherited from my dad the ability to be my own personal furnace. I still have to protect my ears from wind and so sometimes I look dorkier than usual.

I don't understand people that feel like they have to smoke, drink, or other things to have fun or to let loose. I don't care that you do it, I just don't understand it. I seriously have the most fun jumping around making a fool outta myself dancing. It's fun... i look awful... but it's fun.

I have never felt this need to fit in with people and have lost friends that way. I'm ok with that.

I am on the surface a disorganized person, but underneath all the mess, know where to find things. I love to plan, I love to execute on the plan even more, and cleaning up the aftermath is someone else's job.

Eeeeee
