One of my favorite blogs, Sometimes Sweet, has made "currently" posts for quite some time now. This is one of my favorite things about her blog. I love that she lets her readers into her life in an intimate way. I am not trying to steal her blogging ideas, but rather, admire them. And so I have decided to make "currently" posts of my own. To let the people who look at my blog get a glimpse into what's going on with me, and for me to be able to look back on down the road. And so, please enjoy.

Reading:
Into the Wild. I am almost finished. It's one of my favorites. Since I am almost finished though, I went to the Library today after work and picked up two F. Scott Fitzgerald books, and a James Patterson book called 1st to die. I'm not sure what it's about but I love crime, so I'll let you know. I can only hope I have the time to read all of these.

Eating:
Not a lot, actually. Which I know isn't good. But I think my emotions are effecting my appetite. Or rather, my lack of one. I haven't been in the mood for really anything lately. And it's making me a little bit sick. I have felt this way since I went on my trip in March. Nothing sounds good to eat anymore. And if I do eat, it's not very much. I am not intentionally doing this. I just think that so much is happening right now, and big changes are coming soon, and I'm much more anxious than I am aware of, and it's affecting my hunger. The only thing I seem to actually want is coffee.

Thinking About: 
What my life is going to look like a year from now.

Enjoying: 
Air conditioning. Like, worshipping it. The heat lately is killer. Absolutely stifling. I expected it to come maybe in June. Not Cinco de Mayo. How lame.

Listening To:
A LOT of Switchfoot. I just can't help it! My friend Austin and I went to go see them in Kansas City a month ago and ever since, they're all I seem to want to listen to. Apart from them, I just bought three new records and I am listening to those as well. Sufjan Stevens' "Greetings from Michigan" album, "The King is Dead" by the Decemberists, and "My Head is an Animal" by Of Monsters and Men. I recommend everyone listen to all of those albums.

Loving:
My jobs. Years from now when I remember being nineteen, I am going to smile. I work with some pretty incredible people. I shudder at the fact that I only have twelve days left as a para. Which means I only have twelve days left with all my precious kiddos. It is heartbreaking to think that I won't get to see their beautiful faces anymore. Who knows if I'll ever see any of them again. And all the other paras and teachers as well. Will I ever see them again?

Two weeks ago, I got to see my best friend! It was long overdue and much needed. We hadn't seen each other in over two months. Which is a long time in the world of best friends. We saw Local Natives at the Granada in Lawrence. Then spent the next morning / afternoon in K C. We ate breakfast at the City Diner, checked out a new coffee shop called Second Best, (that title couldn't be further from the truth, it was first best) and then hung out at my grandparent's for a little bit to take pictures. She is a great photographer. You can check out her work here. Here are some snippets of that. Enjoy! And May the 5th be with you.
