I recently discovered Modcloth, and I fell in love. For those who don't know, Modcloth is a website that buys and sells indie designers' designs, so it's unique stuff you usually can't get in stores. I'm getting these two things, and I wanted to ask you what you think (if I get them, i'll probably post pics in the picture gallery in the lounge.) Plan to wear this with skinny jeans & heels/flats: http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/All+Greek+to+Me+Top And I saw this and COULDN'T RESIST: http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Dresses/Frankly+I+Don+t+Give+a+Dress I encourage you to check it out. Hope this doesn't come off as spam.
So I went under the knife Monday morning, to get some bones in my foot shaved down and moved back to their proper places. My left foot is now heavily bandaged, and I am drugged up and have been for the past couple of days. It's pretty weird to have to hobble around. I have crutches and a boot, but more often than not I just hop or crawl to where I need to go, when it's a short trip. I'll post pics when I can.
This morning, I walked into gym to play lacrosse, fully intending to try today. I haven't been trying--the guys in my class are all ball hogs--and when I was standing midfield, one of the guys whipped the ball toward the goal. My head was in the way, and well...... Long story short, I'm home with ice on my head.
There comes a time when you find an amazing teacher who not only is a great educator but you can relate to them as a person. I'm lucky enough to have 2: My 4th grade teacher and my 7th grade English teacher. Mr. Krueger was my 4th grade teacher. He played the guitar, and he would sing us songs to help us study for tests, and sometimes just for fun. He was the most compassionate, wonderful teacher you could ever have. He made school a wonderful place, even on the worst of days. One of his traditions was that every Thursday we would have creative writing day, where we all got to read what we wrote. It's because of him that I started writing, and he was the most encouraging person ever. Mrs. Gribben was my 7th grade English teacher, and she was much the same way. So compassionate, a great educator and so encouraging. She pushed me to keep going, keep writing because she believed I had the talent. She taught with kindness and made every day so exciting. It's because of her that I want to continue writing my whole life long. She was an inspiration. They both were. I owe so much to these teachers. Nobody will ever match them. And at the end of each year with them, they both asked me one thing: To dedicate my first book to them. So when that comes out, the dedication will be to them.
