for you, for fall.

Home life is moving pretty slow lately and I’m having an easy time enjoying it.

That’s what this season is for right? Slowing down, curling up, settling in.

School life is faster though, and it’s been great, but tiring. So far, the school year is going so well. SO busy, but so so well. I’m just now getting to the point where I feel organized and on my game. There’s always so much to do at the start of the year it’s hard for me to leave my classroom at a decent hour and my whole body (and mind) seems to get affected by the long eventful days. It usually takes me a few weeks to feel settled and confident in the routines, but I think I’m finally there. I love my class this year (they’re a whole bunch of smarties!) and I feel like we’re going to do really good things together. I’m so excited about it.

Besides teaching an abundance of six year olds, I’ve been busy wearing polka dots, watching Homeland, eating Oreos, and enjoying the twitter. Also, I’ve been reading this and this and this and this. Seriously. Whoever said I couldn’t keep up the reading once school started was a fool.

(p.s. it was me who said that. I am the fool.)

(p.p.s. For every one book read, there is a second book I listen to. In the car. On the way to (and home from) work. Look at that! Now you know my secret.)

Also!

I made a fall playlist, for you…

for you, for fall. from dearfriend on 8tracks Radio.

Because you’re awesome. And you’re worth it.

LOVE YOU GUYS.

Happy weekend!

  2. Wowzers, it’s really fall there! Good on ya for keeping up the reading!

  3. The Fault In Our Stars is amazing! And totally going to listen to this playlist whilst I work today :) Happy weekend love!

  4. LOVED that playlist. I was seriously sad when it was over! Giving you a shoutout on my post today :)

    I’m so glad that you’re feeling settled in your classroom now. I bet that’s a great feeling! As a teacher I’m sure it’s kind of like starting a new job every fall… so different from the rest of the work world. And I’m sure you’re just great at it!

    Happy Friday Anna!

  5. Friend. You make me smile.

  6. Can I just say that I am jealous of all of the beautiful leaves up your way? The leaves here are still hanging on the trees, green as can be. I’m excited for more fall weather and snuggling in and settling down, just like you said. Oh, and do you like The Year of Magical Thinking? I’ve been thinking about picking that one up.

  7. “i am the fool”. haha – you made me laugh so hard. i’m going to listen to this tomorrow at work – thanks anna!
