November is the best month so far

admittedly, pretty much every month has been 'the best month so far', so that isn't saying too much. my students continue to be amazing, the teachers i work with are gradually wrapping their brains around the fact that i'm not some strange alien creature, and fall is in full swing. the mountains are beautiful. there are a couple views i see all the time while driving that make me want to pull the car over, climb on the roof, and sit and stare.

tomorrow is going to be a long, long day. i'm teaching every period, no breaks, from the beginning of school to the end. this is outweighed by the fact that i'll be spending all of friday watching my students put on plays and sing songs.
for the last month i've been heading to my friend's house once a week to help her with her new twins and entertain her other two kids. i started giving them cooking lessons (mostly eating lessons, admittedly)- all basic comfort food type stuff. so far, apple crumble has been the biggest hit. i don't blame them. apple crumble is super awesome.

i'm crazy tired, for no real good reason that i can think of, so this post is gonna be short. i'll try and remember to write a real one with pictures and stuff fairly soon.
