So I'm sure this will come as a shock to you but I (gasp) forgot that I had a blog. I know you have all been anxiously waiting for my return (yeah, riiiiight...) so here goes!

Countdown: Officially 5 weeks until acceptance (am I jinxing myself by putting that? If so, then you didn't see me write it) letter. I'm so excited I could pee my pants (or maybe I just had too much coffee this morning)!

Wedding count: 4 weddings, 3 invites, 1 bridesmaid, 1 maid of honor..yeesh! Since when did I become the wedding guru? Or since when did all my friends decided to get married in 2009? I think I missed the bus there...

Schooling: Once upon a time, Rachel was a chemistry major. You may be surprised (because no one actually likes chemistry enough to get too deep into the subject), but there is A LOT of statistics involved. So why do I have to take basic stats? Oh yeah, because school's have no idea what it's like to take p-chem...or any lab class. Or work for a biotech company. Those things involve lots of stats. Stats is why I had a love affair with Microsoft Excel. And yet here I am, sitting through lectures about the difference between the population and sample, and the definition of standard deviation. Shoot me now...but at least my teacher is cute :)

Subbing: Finally, after 3+ months of being on the substitute lists, I am making a name for myself and getting requested! Whew. No more scrambling to pay all my bills each month. No more sleepless nights wondering if I'm going to get called at 5AM the next morning. No more...ok, well these things are still happening.

Multiple Guess Question: I strongly dislike K and 1st grade. 2nd and above are fine with me, because 2nd graders and above:
a. don't pee their pants
b. don't cry because they are going to get their new shoes dirty in PE (and they are a boy...)
c. can actually do their work with minimal supervision so I can actually help the kids who are struggling
d. all of the above

I really hope you selected D as your final answer.
