It has been how long?

Wow! It has been like forever since I have written on here! So here some things you might wish to know! I'M A SENIOR!!!!!!!!!!!! I found out that technically this past semester I was a Senior, so it will be a total of 3 semesters a senior! I get to student teach in the Spring! I'm hoping for a Kindergarten class. My two lovely roommates and I have a house for next year. And the best part of the house, we all have our own rooms!! I survived the semester from hell! I'll tell you a little bit about that in a second. Two of my friends are getting married this summer, but I can only afford to travel to one! I'm babysitting for two amazing families. Last bit of exciting news, MY BROTHER GETS A LEAVE IN AUGUST!!!!!!!!! Okay so the semester from hell! I seriously felt like I was not going to survive, but I did! I had weeks where I did nothing but homework, yes that means homework all weekend long! I ended up having to add an extra course towards the end of the semester. I know that sounds odd but it was a "mayterm" that began in April! It was on Saturdays from 8:30am to 4:30pm! So that made the semester just little bit tougher! I feel like surviving this semester has made me feel like I can do anything now! I really don't think people understand how hard it was, but I'm over it! I made the Dean's List and I'm only a semester away from student teaching, and I couldn't be happier! So that's life at the moment! I better get to bed so I can play with two awesome kiddos tomorrow!!!!

Is that light I see at the end of the tunnel?

HEY EVERYONE!! It has been some time, I know! Honestly, I have been super busy! This semester is going to kick my ass! I mean it is great being in classes that are all about my major, but the professors assign why too much. And on top of taking classes, doing homework, and grading papers (which is the best job ever), I have to fill out this time cosuming application to student teach next year (Spring 2009)! It feels so great to be at the point where I'm getting ready to student teach and graduate, but at the same time it is a lot of work! I just can't wait to be done and be in my own classroom! Anyways, I feel like I have no free time anymore, and at least my roomies are great and make the little time I do have fun! I mean yes partially times are better because I can buy alcohol now and I get to relieve some stress, but I just want to be done!! At least I can see the light and know my time at Texas Lutheran is almost over! I know I'll be sad but thankfully TLU has given me the knowledge to be successful, and a well rounded person. Enough about almost being done. Right now I have the hardest education professor twice, and I have a test in both of his classes tomorrow, and I have to write TWO 20 page research papers! I also have this one class where I have to do little projects, but there are a ton! Then my last two classes have big projects due toward the end of the semester but with those other three classes I'm just like, WHY? I know I can get it done I just need to build up motivation since I never feel like doing any of my homework, which is why I'm writing this and not studying for my tests! I am excited about getting to observe special ed children! I have decided to get certifed in special ed once I get my ec-4 certification, so it will be a great experience! Well I better get going and study for my tests tomorrow! If I don't write anything for awhile, understand I have alot on my plate right now! LATER GATORS!!!

How was this year?

So the new year is slowly creeping up! In ways I'm excited but I feel this year went by way too fast! I guess it is a good thing because school goes faster, but i feel that maybe I didn't get time to adnirethe little things! Over all though, I feel it was a good year. I turned 20, my mom had surgeries, but is doing much better, went to visit my brother, had the best group of kids at the daycare, started my junior year, got a new laptop, was approved to graduate May 2009, decided to master in Special ED, finally happy with my roommates, lived in an apartment, Brother went to Iraq, and I have only two semesters of classes left before I student teach! And what am I looking forward to? Well my 21st birthday, but also, finishing my junior year, going to New York, hopefully working at the same Daycare, entering my Senior year, and who knows what else!! I hope everyone else had a good year, and if you didn't, hopefully this next year will better!

what a semester...

So..... this semester was the pits! Granted I have been done since Tuesday, but I'm still looking back and thinking about how hard it was. I only took 12 hours, not my choice, but I had to do so much! For starters, Intro to Chemistry was a class that I thought would be rather easy since I like science; however, it turned out that it was more of an intro to organic chemistry! I kept thinking "I'm not going to be a Chemist, so why do I need to what elements are in a hydrogen bomb?" Literally, we learned how to make every bomb possible! I'm sorry but I'm not planning on making bombs! Anyways, I had to study to an extent that I didn't think I needed to. Basically, I worked my butt off just to get a C! Next, was my Advance Composition class! I knew this was going to be a hard course because of the professor, but I really enjoyed the professor, and felt I learned alot from him. We ended up reading like three short stories and three short novels. We would then write papers based on what we read. I'll admit I was devasted when my first few papers came back with a big fat C on them. I was like "What??? I got A's in my other english courses, so what am I doing wrong now?" I kept going and eventually got to a point I was getting B's on my papers! I'm not going to say I didn't learn anthing because I did! I loved the class, but I had to work extremely hard just to get a B! Then there was my math and education classes. I really didn't have to work all that hard in my math class since it was math for elementary school teachers! It was a simple class, which I knew it would be. My education class was very simple too, but we had lots of projects! So, basically, my simple courses just gave me extra work to do while working extremely hard in my other complicated courses. I was just in a stressful state this whole semester and had about ten anxiety attacks! I'm just super glad that this semester is done with and have a month to relax! Next semester will hopefully be a little bit better! Better go to bed! Later Gators!
