I know, it's been forever. I'm sorry. Life has been (and continues to be) crazy, but will only be for a short while longer! I'm down to about 4 months left in Tejas (what?!), and as I suddenly realized, only 2 of those are with students. Yikes.
So here's the reader's digest version of what's been happening recently:
1. I went to Austin for South by Southwest for my friend Courtney's band! They were awesome, and I met my favorite YouTube personality, Hannah Hart! She makes a series of videos called "My Drunk Kitchen," and my roommates senior year of college and I really love her. I knew from twitter that she was in Austin, and of course as soon as I stopped scouring every bar on 6th street, I looked over, and there she was. Awesome.
Courtney KILLED it!
Hannah and Me!
2. I went home! Surprise!! My mom and a few selected NDA friends knew, but I went home during Cristo Rey spring break and surprised most of my family and friends. It was a lovely few days at home, and while I didn't get to spend as much time as I wanted to with everyone, it was still so very wonderful.
Surprise, Dad!
3. I went on Kairos! I went on Kairos III as an adult leader and cook with the junior boys. It was hilarious, inspiring, uplifting, and heartbreaking all in one. I learned a lot more detail about the things my students face every day, and gave me a good reminder that I am not just a regular teacher here- I'm volunteering and should be reflecting better. Full post on Kairos to come soon!
4. There is a new Pope! And he's (mostly) awesome and Jesuit! A whole post will come about this as well, but I couldn't ignore it!
