Today's List (Day 14):
My Favorite Outfits To Wear

Work clothing-wise... maybe what I'm wearing today? I guess if I had a camera and/or cared enough, I might take a picture of it. But alas, I do not have a camera nor do I care that much. So here's a description: a colorful patterned high-waisted skirt, a tan scoopneck tank top, white boyfriend cardigan, brown chunky belt, and tan flats.

Generally I am pleased with any outfit that mixes and matches traditional clothing items with things that are more unique, and whenever I can add interesting jewelry, I am all the more happy. I don't like to go too over the top with style quirkiness, though sometimes I wish I had that kind of personality. I do like to wear things that everyone else might not wear. I also wish that I had unlimited resources so that I could have all sorts of unique things to wear (i.e. expensive things!). I do love clothing and accessories!

If I don't care about fashion at the moment, my favorite outfit is undoubtedly a hooded sweatshirt, jean capris, and flip flops. There is nothing better comfort-wise. The weather has to be just perfect to wear this combination and I'm excited to say that today and tomorrow will be that kind of weather! (Unfortunately I have to work!)

Well, I found out for sure today that my supervisor at the Accommodations Office is not leaving. I'm not gonna lie... I'm pretty bummed about it. I had sort of decided that being here for the next few years would be perfect for me. I wasn't banking on the fact that he'd leave (after all, it wasn't a fact), but I just spent a lot of time thinking about what it would be like if he did and now that he's not... well... yeah, I'm just bummed. I'm glad that I asked, though, because now I can take my job search more seriously. Not that I wasn't taking it seriously before, but now I know that being at ISU in that capacity isn't an option anymore and I can put all of my energy into other things. There isn't much happening on the job front here, though. I've only applied for one job in the area; all of the others I've applied for are in Las Vegas and Denver. I think it would be cool to move away for a few years, but it's not ideal. I...

So the situation with the parent has been, I guess, about 75% resolved. Cecilia did some investigating and it sounds like the whole thing was pretty much pointless (the student doesn't even need the class?!). I'm annoyed and frustrated because the mother took a completely different angle with Cecilia, which probably makes me look worse. Cecilia reassured me that I did fine and that I shouldn't worry about it. I still feel awful; that mother said some very hurtful things that will probably stick with me for awhile. I still feel like crying about the whole thing. I hate feeling incompetent, but the thing that's worse is that I'm worried that Cecilia doesn't think I'm a good advisor. She doesn't know me well enough to know that I care, that I listen, and that I'm patient and understanding. All she knows is what she hears from other people and, unfortunately, this parent probably had a lot of bad things to say about me, which really just came from a pl...

20 Years Ago - NCHS Color Guard Takes Europe

Image
I was recently reminded of our high school trip to Europe, which happened 20 years ago during this time of year--December 26, 2000 through January 3, 2001. It's wild that this event was more than half my life ago! I felt like going down memory lane and writing about the journey, so henceforth commences my first blog post of 2021, commemorating a long-ago adventure during simpler times (pre-9/11, pre-adulthood, pre-any type of responsibility). The whole music department at Normal Community High School went--marching band, color guard, choir, and orchestra--and we all had performances whilst overseas. I was 16 years old and it didn't register to me at the time how big of a deal it was. I totally took the experience for granted, but, with the proper hindsight now, I'm super grateful. It couldn't have been cheap and I don't think my parents had that kind of disposable income readily available. I wish I could go back in time and truly take it all in, appreciate it fully,...
