Stories from The Classroom

Hello Blog World its Kjo,
I apologize that I have been hiding in the dark and scary world known as my mind these past few weeks... okay maybe months.  But I promise that I didn't loose my funny in fact I probably got funnier.  So let's see I have moved into the apt (fabulous life), my best friend is back in the apt, and well our roommates are absolutely HYSTERICAL and I love them.  They shall from now on be called Suzy Homemaker and World Traveler(but I'll introduce them some more as the semester continues) Right now I would like to focus on what my daily life as a student teacher consists of. 

A Typical Day in the life of Miss Kjo

5:30am alarm goes off
5:45am get up shower
6:00am probably just now actually getting out of bed
6:01am turn coffee on proceed to drink entire pot before I leave
6:02am shower probably almost fall over due to exhaustion
6:15am dress,make-up,hair.... (secret attempt to not look a hot mess)
6:30am finish packing my lunch --  make more coffee for the road
6:45am leave for school
7:00am arrive to school while being greeted by such musical gems like Gangsters Paradise or Black and Gold(they obviously appreciate all eras of rap)
my first period is off so I listen to the hilarity of the teachers lounge and pray to God that one day I will have as hilarious an outlook on life as some of the people I have met.
8:45 head to second period this is where I begin to realize that only hilarious things can come from the day when asked such questions as "Miss Kjo where upstairs at" well dear you had  to walk down the stairs to get to our level sooooooooooo you tell me.
10:20 pyschology block filled with hilarious explanations regarding Koko the gorilla and Gorillas in the Mist
11:10 Academic class get asked question that makes sense but will probably be interupted by shennigans going on in the hallway. like one of the many fights or what we call chronic tumbleweave
lunch.... great hilarious catch up time with my Nicagruan partner in crime
1:15 freshman. enough said. its equvialent to the animal attack scene in Mean Girls
2:45 schools out. I will now spend the next 6 hours obsessing over how awesome my day was to anyone who will listen including my bedroom walls... kind of pathetic but I really love it that much.

more stories  to come but now you know my daily routine

Peace and Blessings,
Kjo

True Life:I'm a terribly messy person.

Sophomore year my roommate and I (Bride-to-Be) were obsessed with watching MTV's Truelife.  Now I'm sure all of you out there have seen an episode or two of Truelife.  Some of them get pretty intense such as Truelife: I'm a FanBoy,  I do Drugs, I'm Homeless, and Bride-to-Be and I's absolute favorite I Lead a Different Internet Life.  Needless to say Bride-To-Be and I spent a looot of our life watching Truelife. It was a really hilarious time in our lives.  I was once even briefly on an episode of Truelife: I play the Sims... when a boy I went to high school with was featured (stellar I know). Anyway, I should be featured on Truelife: I'm a terribly messy person. I try so hard to stay organized but it always fails.  I am currently decluttering what is left of my childhood inside of my room at my parent's house.  Hopefully that begins to help the situation. Honestly, I feel like I would be a perfect candidate for a Truelife: I'm a terribly messy person.  Does anyone out there have any tips on how to stay organized.  I'm tooo embarrassed to show y'all before pictures but I know I'll be proud to show you the after photos.
Peace and Blessings,

It's a smile, it's a kiss It's a sip of wine, it's summertime

Well I'm going to point out the obvious to everyone... its summertime. Now while we have been out of school for quite some time in my own personal opinion summer TRULY begins today around 7pm. Which was the first SUNSET CONCERT of the season.  But due to an unexpected visitor, whom we'll call Chicago Buddy and her mom coming into to town for Medical School Orientation I missed the concert.  But regardless it was a great time to nom nom nom on some New Kahla and to catch up with Chicago Buddy and Chicago Mom.  They were hilarious as always.  Then I went  bowling with Gum Drop and Beiber Fever as well as some of our other friends. Team Beibler (aka us) kicked butt......like FO REAL. We're going to get hardcore and make neon sweatbands... I know be jealous. Then Friday was our friend Hilarious Girl(she is hilarious... like best description of her ever) 21st birthday! So we had a good ole fashion reunion party.. literally I hadn't seen some of these crazy kids since high school. And boy it was a hoot. Maybe there are some pictures out there too follow.. I'll look.  Anywho I'm sorry that my post was sparatic and ridiculous but I haven't had internet for like a week! But tomorrow is SUNSET again... so I will definitely update y'all!
Peace and Blessings,

Searching for Mr. Right... not just Mr. Right Now..

I mean seriously ladies I feel that all of us wonderful, signle 20 something young women are looking for Mr. Right and certainly not Mr. Right now... I found this amazing article when I was reading through Sweet, Sassy,Southern, and Classy the other day and I think that it is the perfect path for all of us to follow! Enjoy It's from the book "The Power of a Praying Woman." 

-On His Plan For Your Life-

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone--to have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But God, to a Christian says, "No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by Me alone. I love you my child. And until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, You will not be united with another until you are united with Me... exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or longings. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Me to give you the mostthrilling plan existing... one you can't imagine. I want you to have the best! Please allow me to bring it to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep experiencing that satisfaction knowing that I Am. Keep listening and learning the things I tell you. YOU JUST WAIT! That's all. Don't be anxious, don't worry. Don't look around at the things other's have gotten or that I have given them. Don't look at the things you think you want. You just keep looking off and away up to Me, or you'll miss what I want to show you. And then, when you're ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would ever dream. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready (for I am working even at this very minute to have both of you ready at the same time), until you both are satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me... and thus, the perfect love. And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty and perfection and the love that I offer you with Myself. Know that I love you utterly. I am God Almighty. Believe it and be satisfied.

Peace and Blessings.

TSM kind of day.

As you all have read I am a Tri Delta and I love just about every second of it. I would describe myself as a pretty typical Greek Girl... and therefore I find myself spending a large portion of my mindless internet browsing reading things like TSM and following hilarious Panhellenic sisters on Twitter.With that being said I should mention that I don't ever take them seriously and find some of them ridiculously offensive.  The founder's of our respective organizations founded women's fraternities to empower women to be strong, independent women who can not only care for others but ultimately care for themselves on their own if necessary.  Sometimes TSM makes it appear that all sorority women are capable of is making sandwiches and being bitches.  That my dear readers is not true.  However, today I must admit I had the most stereotypical TSM day I possibly could have had. It all started when I woke up early to seize the day.
I dressed in leggings, a white vneck tee, and my Tri Delta Flip flops.  I threw my hair up in a bun and added a pearl head band and obviously added my mandatory pearl earrings (I really find no other earrings necessary). If that was not bad enough I then baked several patches of brownies to mail to my friends at sleeep away camp. I then did quite a bit of cleaning followed up by a fabulous crafternoon. A crafternoon is the 2nd best way to spend an afternoon besides laying out if you want my opinion. I'm not quite finished but when I am I will do a post because they are super cute! My mom is coming down with a cold so I volunteered to cook dinner to complete my total TSM day.  Oh and I went on an excellent jungle hike with Karli Cakes today.  Overall, I would definitely say I perfected my inner TSM for the day.
