I'm the coolest fourth grade teacher ever!!!

How many other elementary school teachers do you know out there have students talk to you about their relationship problems? None? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Like I mentioned in a previous post, I made a special email account to chat to my students whenever I'm bored at home (and sadly, I get more conversations on that then I do when I sign on to my regular account). Anyway, I think I might've stirred up some trouble. Here's the story:

For a while, I thought T liked M, and I heard T wanted to ask M to the dance. In class, I told T earlier during the school year that I'll try my best to hook him up with her for the dance. Tonight, I was talking to M online and asked if she would be interested in going to the dance with T. She thinks for a while, and says maybe...

On another chat conversation, S (M's friend) tells me that T actually likes D. S tells me that T told D he liked her during P.E. one day. All this was mentioned to me after I asked M about T. I now find out that there's a love triangle going on because T likes D, and J also likes D as well. Just to make class interesting in January, I told S that I'm going to have a seating arrangement where both J and T sit next to D (and I can also make fun of them as well).

So, there you have it. When the dance actually rolls around in March, things will definitely become interesting. Like any good teacher-friend, I told my students that I'll do my best to hook them up. I bet you didn't have that kinda experience in elementary school huh?

What Happens...

1) when your best just ain't good enough anymore?

2) when you just stopped caring altogether?

3) when actions speak louder than words and there are no actions at all?

Happiness = Plumpness... ???

Everybody says that when you're happily in a relationship, you (the girl) slowly start to gain more weight. Usually the average weight gain for a normally healthy weight girl is around 10 pounds. I normally don't weigh myself on a consistent basis namely because there's only so much you can gain/lose in that period of time. I would say I step onto a scale once a month just to see if there is any difference. Usually, when I'm working out on a consistent basis, I tend to gain more weight (I'm assuming it's muscle mass), so that's why a scale doesn't really matter much to me.

Anyway, I haven't stepped on a scale for a pretty long time (because I'm too lazy to find one). I'm a firm believer that scales do not show how well you've done in terms of keeping yourself healthy unless you're like extremely obese or something. My jeans are always falling off, so I guess I'll take that as a good sign... who needs to use a scale when everything you wear is quite lose now?

So, back to the point of this entry... according to my not gaining weight (at least that's what I'm assuming because of my loose pants), does that mean that I am not happy in my relationship?

Engagement Fever

I've been randomly looking at Facebook pages of people I remember from high school and came to realize that a big chunk of people have already gotten hitched... some with a kid(s) as well. I don't know what kind of fever has been going around the past couple of months, but it seems like everybody's getting engaged left and right. Should I be surprised? No, not really. I guess we're at that time when dating became a little more serious and the future... is now.

Learning that so and so hooked up is just not exciting anymore. Now I'm just waiting to hear who's relationship status has changed to "engaged". Maybe it's the change in weather or something, but there's just been a lot of talk of marriage as of late. Who's next?

How to maintain a long distance relationship

How do you do it? Props to all you people out there who have a long distance relationship and are still going (like the Energizer bunny).

Call me a loser, but I can't go for three days without my DS. It's like food, the longest you can survive without food is three days. So, in my eyes, DS = food!

Yes, not very insightful... sorry. But a post is a post, nonetheless.
