Visitors......

So, tonight, a regular Wednesday night... or so I thought. I got home from work and my friend Gabe that lives down the street called and wanted to hang out. He knows a ton about cars, and I am thinking of trading mine in, so he came over to help me look. A little later, our friend Chase came over. My roommate Berkley came up and was making herself dinner, so the four of us (Berk, Gabe, Chase and I) were in the kitchen talking. Chase brought up something about  how Gabe had just bought a new hand gun, so Gabe decided to go grab it out of his truck. Berk and I were both a little nervous... and so after a little bit Gabe went outside to put his gun back in his truck. 

All of the sudden, I notice see flash lights in my back yard. Then two cops with a dog walk past my kitchen window. I thought what the heck is going on!?!?! Thats when I heard the knock on my front door. My friend Chase answered the door and the person that had knocked stood back so we had to come outside to see him. It was another cop (thankfully, not some psychopathic killer, which I have to admit crossed my mind...) He asked if we were the only ones there, and if we could please step outside. Of course by this time I am thinking maybe the previous renters had done something and  we were getting the blame. Then the cop says "do you know that guy over there?" I honestly didn't see any one at first so I am  sure I looked really confused... then I realized my friend Gabe was off in the distance talking to another cop. With pure terror in my voice and a little shock I said  "Gabe?!?!?! long pause..... yyyyeeeeaaaahhhh..... how come? Is something wrong?" And then the cop asked if there was a problem and what we were doing and why he was at my house with a gun. I was like um no... nothing is wrong he was just showing us the gun he bought. He is a friend that lives down the street. So then the cop hands the gun itself back to Gabe, and the clip to my roommate Berkley and tells her not to give it to him until he is all the way back inside the house. 

I guess what happened was that the cops were outside my house because our neighbors had gotten in a fight and one of them said they were going to kill themselves and so someone called the cops (great neighborhood I live in right??). The cops were staked outside my house watching to see what was going on at the neighbors and trying to find the guy that was suicidal because I guess he was walking around outside. Then out walks Gabe with a gun in his hand. He said he had two assault rifles pointed in his face and a dog that was too close for comfort. WRONG place and the WRONG time! haha Kind of a funny story even if Gabe and I both about peed our pants! I told Gabe I couldn't be his friend any more because he was a bad influence on me. :)

Yay for a little excitement in my life!

Jazz!

Lately I have had a little excitement in my life.... the best thing...My friend called me last Wednesday and told me he had Jazz tickets. And I thought oh thats fun! I will go... and then I got there and found out our seats were on the 7th ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was AMAZING! We sat right behind the Nuggets. We could see them making their plays! It was so fun! I LOVED it! and it was kind of a tender moment for me because the first LIVE  Jazz game I saw was against the Nuggets in the pre season when I first moved to Salt Lake. SO fun! UNFORTUNATELY my fav, CJ Miles, was not playing... that is probably the only thing that would have made it better.

Awkward....

Um dang... I just realized my background says Happy New Year! HAHA

AND I found out today that it is most likely I am NOT staying at my school next year. There two positions available and they were filled by involuntary transfers. Which means I will be switching schools and i have to re interview and all that jazz... lame.....

Annoyances

Ug... When I start getting stressed it seems to translate to other parts of my life and it really annoys me. Being stressed annoys me because I tend to stress over things that  I can't control...and mentally I think this is SO stupid to stress over! theres nothing I can do about it! but yet i still stress over it... and then because I'm stressed little things start to annoy me... and then i get annoyed that im getting annoyed. Its kind of a vicious cycle...

Any way... the reason I was posting is because its the end of the year... which means CRT's for my kiddos... (state tests) which stresses me out. It's kind of a lot of pressure on me and I'm not gonna lie, I'm kind of panicking. Oh well! I guess theres not a TON that I can do now. (SEE! Stressing about something I can't really change!)

AND I am kind of kicking myself, because I signed a one year only contract. Which basically means that no matter what I have to re-interview for a job. Even if I get to stay at my school. BUT to top it all off... we have to wait. If there is a teacher at another school that gets surplused to my school, they would get my spot before I would... LAME right?? The District is dragging their feet and taking their time placing surplus teachers (why do they care right? they have a job!) They were supposed to be placed by last week! SO as soon as they are placed, my principal will know if she can interview. Then I would have to interview for my position. My principal has basically said if it comes to interviewing i would get to stay. I just hate not knowing.
