Meet the Teacher: 10 Things About Me!

Since I’m new to this whole blogging adventure, I figured you probably don’t know much about me yet. I would like to fix this by giving you a quick list of 10 random facts about myself!

I won’t venture to say that these are the 10 MOST important facts, but hopefully they’re interesting nonetheless. Enjoy!

1. I am a TWIN! My sister’s name is Lauren. She’s a Nurse Anesthetist. I prefer not to compare salaries with her.

2. I taught middle school science for 7 years. It was the best. Science rules. I miss telling corny science jokes. (What do you call two dinosaurs that have been in an accident? Tyrannosaurus wrecks) or (Q: What do chemists call a benzene ring with iron atoms replacing the carbon atoms? A: A ferrous wheel)

                                                           

3. Now I teach 2^nd grade. It’s amazing. The kids are louder. And snottier. And they EAT everything. I mean they literally consume everything. But hey, they’re pretty freakin’ cute too.

4. I’m from Atlanta! I love Atlanta. I miss Atlanta. Please don’t call it Hotlanta.

5. I am TERRIFIED of spiders. We once lived in a house that was over run with wolf spiders. The big, hairy ones. And they would crawl in my bed at night. Then they would hide in my laundry, all stealthy like, and wait for me to find a shirt...then jump out at me. Therefore, I'm officially the world's best smasher of said wolf spiders. Lauren can verify this. #spidersareevil 

6. I cannot live without coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. 

This shirt was made for me.

7. I can’t whistle. Or wink.

8. My favorite thing to buy is school supplies. Pens are the best.

9. My college degree is from a different school than where I did 99.9% of my undergrad course work. Long story. It’s annoying. Oh well. Go Owls?

10. I have a cat whose name is Cat.
