Yours are the sweetest eyes.

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside.
I'm not one of those who can easily hide.
I don't have much money, but boy if I did,
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do.
See I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue.
Anyway the thing is, what I really mean, 

yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen.

And you can tell everybody, this is your song.
It may be quite simple but now that is done
I hope you don't mind. 

I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
how wonderful life is now you're in the world.

If I was a sculptor but then again, no,
Or a girl who makes potions in a traveling show.
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do.
My gift is my song and this one's for you.

And you can tell everybody, this is your song.
It may be quite simple but now that is done
I hope you don't mind. 

I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
how wonderful life is now you're in the world.

So my trend of liking covers continues. This version is different enough, and I like Ellie Goulding's voice. It's sweet. Approachable. Kind of like how I wish I could sing if I could sing, but alas, I can't. 

In other news, I have exactly two weeks left of vacation, and then in-service begins. Tomorrow I'm not exactly free either, since I've signed up to attend a workshop given by the region. The good news is that attendance will count towards my comp days later in the year. The bad news is that it's in Azle and I have to drive 35 minutes to get there so I'll probably have to wake up super duper early. For the first time since May. Not counting the weekends where I go biking. But I don't really know how well getting up early helps in regards to cycling in the heat, considering it's so freaking hot here. It was 98 degrees at 10:00 this morning. This whole week, in fact, looks like it's going to be super hot, which is fantastic, since I'm moving at the end of it.

Yes, I get to move to my one-bedroom, after a whole year of having entirely too much space on my hands. I'm excited for the lower rent and to get away from the loud upstairs neighbors, since I'll become an upstairs neighbor myself, but it's supposed to be 108 on Thursday. 108! Or 106, depending on which weather source you use, but either way it makes me sad. Already. 

Went to Austin with the boyfriend, which was fun. I'm  tossing in some photos from there so that it looks like my summer vacation was entirely more eventful than it actually was. I'm not complaining, because I relaxed the heck out of myself and I'm pretty sure the next 10 months will get me all wound up again. Plus, I'm hoping for a lot of fun and exciting things to happen during this next school year. And then next summer... don't get me started on next summer! (It's going to be fantasmic!)
