Texas

Texas phrases and what I think they mean

1. fixin to: getting ready to, will be doing something; I am fixin to make my bed.

2. Might could: Maybe, might be able to; we might could go to the mall later.

and finally the famous

ya'll : means all of you.

all ya'll: everyone, all of you plural of ya'll

as I learn more of these phrases I will add to them.

school

Ok so this last week has been beyond busy. I have about 6 students currently that I have such a hard time keeping in their seat. and theyare saying that we can't have another aide possibly which isn't good because they want to put up to 16 kids in our class. now I know you think thats nothing. well I work in a special ed pre k class. so 6 kids is a lot and then adding more is way to much for 2 people especially when they want us to do inclusion with out kids in 3 different classrooms all at the same time and we need to be with all the students. we are only 2 people! well that is all for now my internet isn't very good so Idk if or when I will be able to post again.

TEXAS

So I have moved to Texas. I have lived here for 1 week. I have a tiny little apartment. I have a roommate that is a guy and it is weird living with a guy. I have always lived with girls and it is needless to say totally different. well getting used to Texas life is a culture shock. everyone here seems so much nicer and considerate in the week that I have lived here I might have been cut off once and in Phoenix it was an hourly occurrence. It also seems like everyone knows everyone which is another oddity. The thing will take some getting used to is the color here. It is so GREEN there are Green Trees! and if I go out my back door there is actual wild forest behind me. there is wild everywhere here. my sister claims that it is not wild but compared to Phoenix there is a lot wild, green wild! I can't believe that I am here but I am and on to the next adventure finding a second job. Blah
