In the past, I've always gotten really excited about buying clothes or shoes. Right now I'm excited about my new pair of glasses. For one, I can see out of them (I haven't replaced my glasses in 6yrs; I usually wear contacts), and they're kind of snazzy.
Judge them for yourself, but if you don't like them you can blame my Mom. Ha.
They were expensive, but I guess I should f*ck around with my vision. It's already bad enough.
There are a few other purchases that I would like to make, but I'm trying to be a little better with my finances. I recently got a decent raise, but my student loan payments start next month. They're going to be outrageous. Sometimes I get discouraged about the fact that I am in so much debt from school when I have a degree that really limits me from going after high-paying jobs.
I've spent the past 7yrs feeling confident in the fact that I wanted to do something I love and have had no qualms with the fact that it wasn't going to result in a big paycheck. I still feel that way, but with the recent job frustrations, I wouldn't mind being more content - on both fronts.
I recently went through my first review process at work, and it went really well. But I guess the perfectionist in me is rearing her ugly head again.
But at least that head has snazzy glasses!

1. I am sure you look sexy in your new glasses.
2. Complacent kids are NOT the result(s) of your teaching. (do you have to use plural there? Help an immigrant, woman!)
3. Stay away from maroon columns.
4. Project Runway: I told you!

Yay for good reviews!!!
I love the green on the insides!
other laura: As someone teaching composition, I should be more confident in the grammar arena, but sadly, I am not.
sunshine: Yeah. It was great to have it go well. Thanks for the shared enthusiasm. :-) Sunshine is such an appropriate alias for you!
notcarrie: Thanks! It was one of the biggest reasons I chose them. They came with a matching green case.
Green!
Don't worry too much, B... I'm in the same boat. Diplomas in one hand, invoices in the other. But I do think that deep within you're satisfied to a point with where you are right now, but that perfectionist side is surrounding that point. I understand where you're coming from and certainly the frustration behind it.
Thanks Tom; you make a good point.
