Big news for the week- I got offered a teaching position at St. Benedict!!! And I accepted!!! I am so excited to be teaching there- it's a really great school with a lot of activities and technology for the students and teachers. I get to get my Mac Book on Monday when I take my contract back to them. I will have fun playing around with it and with the software for my classes (once they finalize what I will be teaching). I will be teaching English, Theology, or a combination of the two.
I am so glad I get to enjoy the rest of my summer now. I started tutoring up at Dyersburg State Community College's Covington campus. It was a good first week. The other tutors are really friendly and funny, especially my cousin Ashly! I'm getting to look at some really great English resources to use in the future. I have talked with some of the students about their writing, and I'm hoping more writing students start coming in now that the tutoring in underway.
I also enjoyed staying the night at Ashly's. We had a really nice dinner made by her and Andrew. Then, we watched Beautiful Creatures. It was pretty good, but Ashly says the book is better, so I will have to read it.
I have gotten in some really good walks this week, even with the insane heat that always accompanies summers in Memphis. But, like my stepmom always says, "if you're not sweating, you're not working out hard enough." So, the sweat is good. I'm trying to step it up and add to my weekly mileage since my friend Kerry and I have decided to do the St. Jude half marathon in December. And now that I've told all of y'all, y'all can hold me accountable for it.
I've had a lot of fun this weekend. I went to see Maddie's theater camp's play on Friday. They did poems of Shel Silverstein which I just loved. Afterwards, Memaw, Ashly, Mom and I went for a little snack at The Bistro which was good; it was nice to catch up. Then, I went to dinner and the concert at Levitt Shell with Melissa and her friend Theresa. We had a really good time and enjoyed the music. I do hope to make it to more of those this summer. It's awesome to be so close to the concerts :)
Saturday, I went for a nice long walk. Then, I went to lunch with Cat. I treated myself to a massage- be jealous. And, after resting up from such an intense day, I went to the Redbird's game with Sunshine. We ran into Jennifer there as well. It was a lot of fun, and the Redbird's won! Sunshine and I chilled on the roof deck for a few hours after the game and chatted with other residents which was nice.
I went to see Singin' in the Rain today with Memaw and Ashly. It was a really good production :)
Yummy dinner at Ashly's.
