"Settlin'"
Fifteen minutes left to throw me together
For mister right now, not mister forever
Don't know why I even try when I know how it ends
Looking like another "maybe we could be friends"
I've been leaving it up to fate
It's my life so it's mine to make
I ain't settling for just getting by
I've had enough so so for the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high
Just enough ain't enough this time
I ain't settling for anything less than everything, yeah
With some good red wine and my brand new shoes
Gonna dance a blue streak around my living room
Take a chance on love and try how it feels
With my heart wide open now you know I will
Find what it means to be the girl
Who changed her mind and changed her world
I ain't settling for just getting by
I've had enough so so for the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high
Just enough ain't enough this time
I ain't settling for anything less than everything
I ain't settling for just getting by
I've had enough so so for the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high
Just enough ain't enough this time

fastfood burgers with more than one patty really gross me out.
So I finally spray painted the mirror and built the new lighting system inside it. I'm very happy with the color I chose. The lighting inside still needs some work. I didn't really know how transparent the front glass was, and it turned out to be a lot more than I thought it would be. I need to tidy it up a little on the inside and replace some burned out bulbs. I'll post pictures soon.
Tomorrow night I'm taking a painting class at Michael's on the One Stroke Technique to paint sunflowers. I'm painting on a little wooden box that has 2 wicker drawers. It should be fun. There's another one in July on wildflowers that I plan to take.
As it turns out, Glenn is not the one. It sucks, but c'est la vie.
Tomorrow I finish my first week of classes at Lynchburg College. So far the program has been very interesting. Our topics this week were child development and psychology, as well as how to teach persons with disabilities. There are some very nice people in the class from all around the area. I have a lot of work due monday.
It's been lonely around here the last few days. I've been trying to occupy myself with organizing my house, painting, working out and finding ways to explore some interests. It's hard to be by yourself in a new city.

Wow
I miss my job. I thought I'd be so relieved for school to be over, and I am glad that I don't have all those papers to shuffle.....but I miss my students! It's so weird having those interactions all day and then not. It's kinda lonely around here. I'm really hoping there will be some cool people in my classes next week. Keep your fingers crossed for me, I really need to meet some new people.

Another great site: Passive Aggressive Notes
So school is officially over for the year. I don't have to go back until Aug. 16!
However, my classes at Lynchburg college start on Monday and run til the end of July. I've been reading the textbook and so far it's pretty interesting. I'm pretty sure some of the text from my Educational Psychology class last summer was directly out of this book. Tomorrow I'm hoping that it'll be sunny so can go to my aunt and uncle's house and lay out for a little bit and read some more. Today it's rainy and only in the 60s.
I've planted some tomato plants in a flower bed I dug outside my townhouse. Let's hope the lawn maintenance guys don't try to cut them down again. You would think they would know the difference between a random weed and a tomato plant growing behind a landscaping fence in a patch of dirt. Idiots.
Glenn and I went to a neat seafood restaurant last week called Harbor Inn. The food was good, but the decor was amazing. The walls were covered with beautiful underwater murals of fish and stingrays and some of them were even 3D. I'm really enjoying learning what cool local places are around. The restaurant scene in Lynchburg is definitely not up to par with Knoxville's, but then again Knoxville has more restaurants per capita than anywhere else I've been. There are the typical chains here: Olive Garden, Texas Roadhouse, O'Charleys, TGIFridays, etc. But if you want to go somewhere locally owned, that's a little harder to find.
