Flipping the squid is like flipping the bird, but more about flipping expectations. I am at a time in my life when I am doing everything at once and making life happen the way that I want it to. My goals for this year include (but will never be limited to):
- student teaching in fourth grade and kindergarten classrooms
- running, running, running (and getting stronger)
- graduating with two bachelor's degrees
- keeping a diary and being creative (consistently)
- getting a grown-up career
- proposing to my boyfriend
When I was younger, I used the name "squid" when I wrote poetry. I have made less time for creative pursuits as I've moved on to college and I intend to change that. Flipping the squid, then, is not just about changing the now but returning to who I was. Come along with me as I flip the squid on its head, just so it can stare itself in the mind.
