Monday Minute & It's Our Anniversary!

If you would like to participate, please check out Cristy's blog here!

Questions:

(1) Have you ever been hospitalized?
Once. When I was in second or third grade, somehow I hit my head on the metal lock in the stall of the bathroom. I was a bloody mess! I had to get stitches in my head :(

(2) What’s the last bit of good news you received?
The date and location of C's birthday party...FINALLY!!! I may have been nagging him to set it up already- his bday is in 2 days!

(3) Who was your favorite teacher?
C :)
Unless you mean teacher that taught me...then it would be a tie with Miss Weber and Miss Mazzucca Mrs. Vigilante (she got married in between the 2 years I had her). Miss Weber was my music teacher from Grade 4-8. She was awesome- for some reason she took a liking to me, and I would go by her after school for long talks, and sometimes she would take me out for ice cream. She also helped me through a very tough time, when my friend told me she was being sexually harassed by her mother's live-in boyfriend, and he was sexually assaulting her younger brother. We still talk (though much less frequently)...we have been trying to get together for about a year now, but because I live so far away (and don't like to come up to North Jersey on the weekends), it's been a bit difficult.

Miss Mazzucca shares my name. And she was sooo upbeat and enthusiastic about teaching and psychology (which is what I had decided to get a degree in by this time). And I thought it was awesome that she was teaching while she was getting her Master's to be a guidance counselor (which is what she's doing now). And she was really pretty, and engaged (and later married) to a soap opera star!! (And there was a rumor that she was "seeing" the new hot Social Studies teacher...whether or not it was true, they made a very cute couple, and they were always flirting!)

(4) Do you sing in the shower?
Rarely. I'm more of a car singer.

(5) Describe the happiest day of your life.
I think thee day I started college might've been the happiest day. I would say graduating high school, but if I remember correctly I'm pretty sure I got into a fight with my mom right after graduation, and she made a scene in front of my friends (typical) and took my cell phone away.

So yes, first day of college.. or really first day I went to college, for a program called Summer Excel for multicultural students to get acclimated to college life. The independence was overwhelming....it was the absolute best feeling in.the.world!! I was so excited to start, and there were seemingly endless possibilities, blah blah. I remember arriving at night, a few days into the program because the program started before my school had graduation, and then I wanted to go to a few of my friends graduation parties haha. But I remember my new roommate and one of the counselors literally running to meet me outside and nearly suffocating me with hugs, which was so strange to me because I really only talked to my soon-to-be roomie on teh phone once before I arrived, and it was pretty short! The other people I met soon became my very close friends (at least throughout college) ....and then there was that really cute upperclassmen... ;)
