I just can't get enough of this tonight! Link!Luckily, I am hard at work while I listen to this over and over. Well, until the finale, at which point I MUST stop whatever I'm doing to spread my arms wide and lip sync with my eyes closed. I spend all of Friday afternoon cleaning my apartment and singing the chorus to this song at the top of my lungs!

Friday was nice... I got to go to school at 9 instead of 8... and then leave at 11! It was parent/teacher conferences. We all sat at tables in the gym, and very few parents came. But I got a nice email from my supervisor at Cornell saying her friend, whose daughter is one of my students (conveniently the student who always says "YOU'RE MY FAVORITE TEACHER!!") told her that I did an "awesome job" at the conferences!
This weekend was good. Ben and his dad (visiting from Oregon!) came to my apartment to pick me up on Friday evening. And hey guess what I'm finally used to Ben's dad! I opened the door and it was like, y'know, it really is genuinely nice to see you. Like, completely! So that's great! :)
Ben's dad wandered into my room, noticing that "Ben figures prominently" on my wallspace. :) Then he seemed a little embarrassed for wandering into my personal space, heehee. :) He was thrilled to see the type of exercise bike I have though, and moreso when I told him I got it for $20.
I was invited along for everything they did over the weekend, so that was cool. We went to Lincoln Cafe twice (I was specifically offered one of the $30-something specials they have, but I wasn't really interested in them) and to Masala and Subway and Scorz. And worked out a lot. And drank a solid amount of beer. We actually sat in Big Creek Market and drank 1554 and Guinness at the little tables in there! Legal? We're not sure. And that first night we went to John's Grocery (a.k.a. "Dirty John's") and stocked up on various interesting beers. They have two rooms full, mostly interesting foreign stuff, often in single bottles. We like that a lot.
Anyway. That first night when we were at Lincoln Cafe and Ben had left the table for a moment, Ben's dad asked me how I'm liking Iowa City and student teaching and all, and I said it's all been really great -- then blurted out, "...except that I'm in Iowa City while Ben's in Mount Vernon." Then he told me that he and Ben had been talking about that the other day and they brainstormed that Ben and I should get together on Wednesdays as well so then we'll only be apart two days at a time instead of five.
So that seems to be the new arrangement. Ben is coming to visit me tomorrow night! (Which means I should be working on stuff instead of being on LiveJournal, yeah!) But I heard about it first from Ben's dad, who maybe even came up with the idea, so that's cool that he seems to really like me and all. He even mentioned at one point in the weekend, when talking about grad schools Ben should check out in Oregon, certain opportunities there might be for me out there, too. Wow. For reals.
In other news -- teacher appreciation week, and I'm on the list! I saw nice Regina Regals fleece blankets in the teacher's lounge, then after school my mentor teacher set one down on the desk in front of me... it had my name on the tag! YAY!!! :-D We get another present on Friday, and lunch every day this week! Mmmmmmm! :) I've never seen the teacher's lounge so full as when we got free pizza today! Haha. :-D
