Oh, winter crush all of the things that I once loved.

I am in love with the Daughter album "If You Leave".  It's beautiful and sad, and even though it makes me emo, and potentially weepy (if I've had enough to drink), I still love it.  Get it.  I know nothing about the band other than I love this album.

Tonight was parent-teacher interviews.  At 5:30, the official start time, people were just slowly filing in, and there wasn't anyone at my seat.  A colleague next door to me said "hey I think you'll like this YouTube video" and tried to load it on his phone.  Then a parent walked up to my desk, so I said "show me later".  I didn't get a break until about 8:00 pm after that.  It was an evening of much talking, but I enjoyed it.

After this night is over, I always feel like it's the official start of the Christmas season.  I should put up my tree this weekend.

This weekend I have a wedding to go to.  I'm looking forward to it.  Two of my friends from university are marrying each other and it's adorable.  I know it'll be super fun.

It's raining out.  I daresay I'm ready for snow.

Tonight I talked a couple of my friends to go for post-interview drinks at the Granite, which I consider my local pub.  (How self serving.)  We drove by the giant light up holiday tiger in Koreatown (will get a picture) and I felt excited for the season.

Although now I'm home, I'm listening to this awesome oh-so-emo album and thinking about how many things that I love about my life, but how there are things that I'm wistful/nostalgic/regretful of.

Oh well, that's life.

At least I have lots of people to laugh with.

Last night and today were our parent interviews. It made for a long days/nights but it's great to visit with parents. Hopefully yours went well, too.

I think your music taste and mine is aligning a little....I have checked out a few songs on this album and it sounds good.

Don't you love it when music brings out that much emotion? I had a "musical religious experience" on my first day at my new job. So intense, but so cool.
