Today's the day! 'Breaking Out of a Broken System' is now up on Amazon to download. Seth and Chandler are giving away the first 3,000 copies for free. Don't delay! Pick up your copy today. I would love to hear your favorite parts!
And no, it's not my birthday. But that is in 28 days, but who's counting :) If you rememmber I am on the launch team for "Breaking Out of a Broken System" which will become available tomorrow for purchase! Which means you should go buy e it. I read it once, but I picked it up to read for a second time. I can't wait to see what other people think of it. I love how it feels like you are sitting with Seth and Chandler while they are writing at their parent's kitchen table. It's beautifully written and even has pictures for us visual learners out there. I've been trying to figure out how to describe it to others, here's the best I can do: This book will make you think about your dreams and how you can start achieving them today. It's not your average self-help book, more of a witty conversation with two humble, down to Earth people. As a student entering into the work force after graduation, this hit home for me. How do I know I am going to find a job? Am I going to be happy? One of those questions I can answer, the other one is up to fate. I know I'm in the right career because I have a passion for helping students. When and where I find a job is out of my control. One quote that spoke to me was "Remember, doing what you love if the best job in the world" - Seth Bolt. I know there are so many unknowns entering into the teaching field, but I know my whole heart is in it and that's all that matters to me. Check out this book to gain insight on how you too can break out of a broken system!
I would love to say that I get to watch the Women Tell All tonight, but I have class tonight. I will do my best to avoid Twitter and other forms of social media that might spoil parts of the drama fest that will be taking place. Please tell me I'm not the only one who looks forward to the daily dose of drama? Seriously. Where did the time go? Spring break is in less than a week and I'm half way through the semester of junior year. Ahhhhhhh. Time goes too fast. Since the weather here has been cold and well, cold, I took advantage of the chance to hang out inside. Lots of reading, note taking, paper writing was happening. I did take time tonight to tune into the Oscars and catch all of Ellen's crazy comments. And by crazy I mean awesome. Exhibit A: She managed to crash Twitter with this wildly epic selfie.

I had only see a few of the films nominated, but I love seeing all the stars dressed to the 9's. Lots of flashy necklaces and low cut dresses. Off to bed for this girl, I feel a cold coming on. Must be those cute little Kinders. Or the weather. Either way I wanna be 100% when I get to head home for a whole week away from school. Hooray! Hope you enjoyed your weekend and are ready for the upcoming week! |
