2 weeks and picture overload

So...I decided upon looking at this blog that it's probably the most boring blog in the land but i don't really care because i'm pretty sure nobody besides my mom actually reads this...if even she does :] I have LESS than two weeks in vegas and i could NOT be more thrilled. its been fun but i'm ready for sunshine and summer time at HOME. its been a long time since i've had a summer at home. and i'm thrilled to be there with my family. not so thrilled on the job hunting part. ugh. depressing.

Student teaching update: i have my last observations tomorrow from my supervisor who comes and pretty much makes sure we know what we are doing and teaching. thrilled about that. my students are currently working on an intense project to finish the unit we are doing on a book which means that its kinda smooth sailing from here on out. so nice.

My countdown list looks something like this :

8 more school days until student teaching is finished
10 days until the best friend comes for a visit to vegas. SO excited
11 days until john mayer in concert in vegas. looooove john.
12 days until i'm HOME in california.
21 days until i get my hair cut and colored. this NEEDS to happen now. seriously. its getting bad.
and last but definitely not least...
28 days until i touchdown in hawaii :] and for this i can NOT wait. getting very very anxious.

These pictures are from some of my recent adventures in vegas. I might have mentioned some of them already but oh well. One of the girls down here student teaching is married but her husband is living back where they are from so he could keep a job etc etc. well his dad is a HUGE gambler at caesars palace and by HUGE i mean...he is a 7 star member. there are like 5 of them in the whole world. seriously. they send HIM money to come to vegas and gamble in his hotel. that said this girl has CONNECTIONS. the type of connections that gave us an awesome FREE suite at caesars and let us cut the hour wait line at a cute little restaurant called serendipity's...those kind of connections. it was awesome. so we spent the entire weekend watching the olympics (don't judge, we don't have cable) and hangin out on the strip. it was definitely awesome. here are some pictures to enjoy. the first of which is JUST the beds in the room. sooo nice.

roommates: michelle, beca, and jess in front of the bellagio water show. love.that.show.

proof that i have a key to those double doors. yeaaaah.

before heading out for the night.

these next pictures were from two weekend ago. My good friend Kristin came to town from utah and we spent saturday out at redrock here in vegas. It's pretty cool. I had heard it was lots of trails and hiking, which i guess it kinda is, but mostly its just rock climbing, like boulder jumping stuff...the fun kind. SO that was our adventure. and here are the pictures to prove it. The top was pretty awesome. and we could NOT have picked a better day to go "hiking".

beca and jess....our classic pose

top of the rocks. LV...for las vegas...which is behind us in the background.

Kristin and I after the "hiking". We were trying to get a picture of what we just climbed

but ended up with this instead.

annnnd a look at what we climbed. its bigger in person i swear.

Sorry my blog is boring. BUT there's only so much i can do :] i put lots of pictures up in hopes that it makes up for the lack of fun things going on and the lack of color and stuff on this page. thats all!!

can't wait to be done! soooo soon.
