Wow! So I haven't posted in a while. I got my blood results on the 18th. And I have indeed been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. So yay me... I have been forced into this "fad" everyone thinks is so "cool" as I have to change my food lifestyle gluten free. I don't think it is cool and I don't think it is fun. If I had choice to not have this disease I would. It has only been 3 pathetic days since I have started changing my diet and I am already over it. But this is my life and I have to keep my body healthy.

So I was literally sitting on the toilet like "the thinker" doing my business thinking about my life and how different it is now from when it was two years ago. And I came to the conclusion that I would not have been become who I am and have become an educator without a few very special educators. Sadly there are only two teachers that have touched my life and really made impact. I wish that all educators would care and be as devoted as these two fabulous people. So here goes:

Mrs. Angela Reavis (1st, 4th and 5th grades)

To Mrs. Reavis whom I love very much. Mrs. Reavis was my first, fourth and fifth grade teacher in grade school. She has kept in touch with me to this day and has always believed in me and my doings. I really appreciate her and am so glad that I got and continue to experience her love and devotion to her students. Thank you.

 

Mr. Blake Livingston

To Mr. Livingston, he was my Honors English and Human Relations teacher my freshman year, English II teacher my sophomore year and my Human Relations teacher again for both Junior and Senior years. Mr. Livingston is an awesome teacher as well as an awesome person. He seriously cares and really tries to build a relationship with each of his students, which for me made me very comfortable as a student. I am pretty sure that I can honestly say, his classes were the only classes I did not skip in high school and attended every day. He, just like Mrs. Reavis, still enjoys getting updates on events in my life.

I hope that as an educator I can one day have a student blog about me and have me as a favorite teacher, thanking me for touching their life. I cannot express how much I appreciate these two people and I just wish that teachers everywhere can take the time to really get to know and understand their students. Understand that no two students are alike. That sometimes life happens and be understanding and just care beyond the classroom.

Just to any other teacher reading this, I can't emphasize how important caring is. Just care and trust me, it makes a world of difference to your students. It really does.

A little update. Short and sweet.

So it has been about a week since I have posted. And I have been pretty busy, so I thought it would give a little update. Today, the 6th, I went in to get my blood drawn and tested.

I ABSOLUTELY hate needles and the lady was really really nice and was a good stick. Regardless, I fainted but I did not cry. My lab results will be back in a week.

I am on a Yeast Clearing Diet for two week to make sure there is no build up in my intestines and that hasn't been contributing to my problems. It's soooo hard and I just want to eat chips.

Glow In The Dark Cycling Class 1

This morning, at 9:15 am, I went to my first Cycling Class with Mom. It was pretty awesome because it was with black lights so if you wore an awesome color like white or yellow you were a human glow stick.

I have to admit this class was probably one of the most difficult things I have experienced in the fitness world. And I was a gymnast for 8/9 years! I literally puked half way through. And just FYI don't drink coffee before because if you do chuck, you'll be tasting coffee grounds and bile for the rest of the time. I am going to make an excuse for myself and my weak self because I am not completely over the flu and decided to do this.

And I don't think you people understand the severity in which my ass was handed to me! Let me lay it out for you. First row, second person over: pregnant lady. Second row, fourth fifth and sixth people over: old timers. Last row, right next to me: my mom. They ALL kept up with the instructor. Yes, I was humiliated by a pregnant lady and old people...

It was so funny though, because before we got started with the class my mom was telling me how not to put my phone right under my handle bars and have a towel ready because YOU WILL SWEAT. And I explained to her that I do not sweat or at least I do not sweat a lot. The most I've ever sweat would be a light perspiration film down my back and that's always how it has been. My mom didn't believe me though. She said no you will sweat just you see. After the class my mom was quite surprised to see that I was indeed not dripping with skin pee.

Also, I got these awesome acai energy chews. I have eaten about 15 of them. They're delicioso.

El Diablo

I would like to explain to all of you that, I have many "Me's" that reside in this tiny body of awesomeness. And today I would like to introduce you to one of my favored, I guess we can call personalities. I like to call her El Diablo. Now El Diablo is a hard character to explain. Basically, no one likes it when she comes out to play. ED is mean, hardly cries and takes joy in making others miserable or saying things to make them miserable because she nows she is always right. She is also a pretty awesome cook. ED is not very good at taking turns so Nice AJ doesn't get to bathe everyone in her sweet presence a mojority of the time but we are working on it. One thing I have to say that is going for her is ED loves her little hell hounds with all of her crusty, black grinch heart.

Tonight ED is pushing thru extra hard. Some things have occured in the past hour which makes me want to make everyone upset because unfortunately it is nothing in which I can control. And at this point in time I think it wise not to share what events have unfolded. I am sure you can tell, though, it is upsetting. ED has said some things that Nice AJ and Reasonable AJ find, well, mean and unreasonable. I don't know where exactly I was going to go with this but I thought this phase of seeing red was a good opportunity to introduce you to some of my crazy and bore you with some of my ranting.

When I think of more to say, I will update.. good night.

Because I am a girl.

So hopefully by now all my readers... if there are any of you out there, have realized that I am a female. I am a girl. And being this gender brings a lot of hormones, taking small matters and stretching them far beyond, being melodramatic. Anyways you get the idea. So I am going to take this moment and be just that, crazy.

Recently, and I am sure it was said with genuine 'intentions', but recently I was informed that I "have gotten hot". Now maybe I shouldn't be conceited but I never realized that I was at one point not appealing to the eyes. I mean I am no Victoria's Secret model but I sure as heck am no Jocelyn Wildenstein. I've gone through the awkward middle school stage and yes I did have "adult" braces being it I was 18 when I got them but I have always tried to and have taken pride in my appearance.

I don't know why I am so urcked by this statement but it really got under my skin.

This would be ugly me:

And this would be now:

 

Thank goodness I out grew that grossness!
