1. Summer school students are watching The Great Gatsby and just started laughing when Tom paid 97 cents for gasoline (the total cost). I do remember paying about 99 cents a gallon during my senior year of high school...and of course that was full-service (no charge for the owner to pump the fuel).

2. My best friends turn 33 today(I'll follow in a couple weeks)...I remember when that sounded so old. I'm glad that I was raised with the mindset that age is only a number...I sure don't feel (or act) like I'm in my thirties!

3. To get through summer school everyday I am telling myself I am "one day closer to Australia." I have talked to a couple gals who are game to go with me when I can afford it. With some minor adjustments to my budget, summer school money, and no unforseeable incidents, I might be able to swing a trip to Sydney for New Year's Eve. :)

4. While I wonder why I am still single, and would like to be be in a different position in my life (sometimes), it is for reasons like number three that I am really glad that I'm not married with children....because if I want to go to Australia on a whim...I can! I guess that is the tradeoff.

5. I hate the cold...everyone makes the comment that you can always put more clothes on, but there are only so many you can take off. I am the opposite...It's never gotten too hot for me to feel that I couldn't cool down...but once I get a chill in my shoulders, I can't warm up! This comes to mind as I sit in a classroom (more like a meat locker) for summer school.
