High Five for Friday

It has been a while since I linked up with Lauren for her weekly High Five for Friday post. This week seemed to go on forever, so I am ecstatic that it is finally over. Therefore, we are celebrating the end of this week with my Top 5...and a glass of wine of course. 

Here is my Top 5 for this week...

1. I got my new teaching intern for the spring semester this week. Hallelujah! Having an intern makes the next 15 weeks of my life pretty amazing. Thank you UNF College of Ed students!

2. I have been doing so well with my New Year's Resolutions thus far! Even though this was a long, exhausting week, I did not have a single drop of alcohol. I even went out to a dinner/planning meeting with my Phi Mu Alumnae Chapter and did not drink the entire time. I am so proud of myself, in fact, that I am rewarding myself with a glass of wine tonight :) Don't worry, I'm not breaking my own rules because Friday night isn't considered part of a "weekday" in my book; anything after 4:00 on Friday is the weekend.

3. I got to hang out with my Phi Mu sisters from my Alumnae Chapter on Wednesday night at a restaurant I love, Speckled Hen. We planned out some great events for spring and enjoyed a girls' evening out.

4. I worked the concession stand at my school for the girls and boys basketball games on Thursday night. I absolutely adore watching my former students play sports. They get so excited when they see me at their games and I really enjoy interacting with them outside of the classroom setting. Watching them excel at something that is so much fun for them and makes them happy makes me so proud to have been their teacher.

5. All my TV shows came back this week! My husband and I have a lot of shows that we like to watch together and so many of them premiered a new season this week. My DVR is nice and full, and I am ready for a relaxing weekend. The best show of this week was probably the premiere of The Bachelor (don't worry, I didn't make Jared watch that with me). You can read my review of the episode here. PS - I can't believe that I am considering The Bachelor to be one of the best things about my week...who am I?
