...that I've got to do.

Greetings, tiny (but mighty!) readership. It is July, which I find utterly unbelievable for several reasons. Here are four, though, per usual:

1. I'm moving back to Chicago at the end of the month. What?! My year in Pittsburgh is almost up, and I'm feeling pretty sad about it. Yes, Chicago is my home. Yes, my beau lives there, as does my family. Yes, I miss Chicago. However, I have grown to love Pittsburgh in only a way that folks who live here, and never leave, know.

2. As a library science graduate student in the school certification program, I have to student teach in a library for a semester. Yes, I am PAYING to go to school and WORKING in a school. Seems a bit strange, but hey. It will be a wonderful experience, I know. I am starting student teaching in September. Good gravy, help us all. Here I come, high school.

3. My sister is leaving in early August to teach in S. Korea. This is new news (isn't that what news is, anyhow? New? I digress...) to the family, as in, she told me Wednesday. She's sneaky like that. I knew that her position at the high school where she was teaching was being eliminated, but I didn't think she'd go around the world to find a job. I'm excited for her (and for the possibility of visiting. Again, student teaching, paying for grad school...blahblahblah...broke).

4. Summer is almost over. For many people, this is sad- either you are a teacher who gets summers off, or you just love the longer days, barbecues, sunshine...Me, I like fall and winter. Leaves changing, wool sweaters, scarves, snow! I crave these things all summer long with an intensity I can't relay. Seriously. Seventy three days until fall, but who's counting?

A boring post, I know, but I needed to get these things out as I most likely won't be posting for a while (as usual, though, right?) because I'm wrapping up school. Oh! That and I'm selling a lot of my closet in a blog. I'll have it up hopefully in a few days, and it will be listed on the dash so if you're a size M/L, 12/14, shoe size 8.5/9 perhaps you can find something nice for a lovely price! Hooray, shameless self-promotion!

Here's hoping you're having a wonderful day, and that you are enjoying the summer...
