Reading is my passion, hobby, and also biggest headache. My Dad sent me this comic a few days ago. He always sends me things related to reading or teaching that he knows will make me laugh.

Tubing is my all-time favorite summer activity. In second place is reading a book by the ocean (normally I end up reading books by the river because there are no oceans around here).

My two fantastic friends and former roommates live in Hickory, in the same apartment complex! Some of you might recognize Sydney, an elementary ed major.

I have a huge extended family, most of who life in upstate New York. I have one younger brother (who is much, much taller than me), Jonathan, who has the same sense of humor as I do.

I am equanimous and inveterate
I wonder how long it would take me to learn to crochet?
I hear the wind groaning around the corners of my home
I see light dribble through the curtains
I want a scalding cup of coffee
I am equanimous and inveterate

I pretend to have patience with rude customers
I feel a bit turbulent
I touch the spines of books, and plates and glasses, and receipts, and wine bottles
I worry about the tenacious messiness of my apartment
I cry, for my friends have all moved away
I am equanimous and inveterate

I understand the necessity for balance
I say things are “not my circus, not my monkeys”
I dream about my future classroom
I try to keep up with it all
I hope for repose in the near future
I am equanimous and inveterate
