I finished student teaching on Wednesday.  It was sad.  I got a lot of hugs and cards.  My little gypsy boy gave me a hug as he left and the main teacher in the room said that she was floored by him giving me a hug.  She was even more floored when I told her it wasn't the first hug he'd given me.

Friday night we had a birthday/graduation ( Read more... )

I'm working on cleaning today and while I was cleaning I came across a poem that I found some place, who knows how long ago...I think it might have been high school, but I'm going to share it with you now.

Maybe this summer we will have a cabin together...when I get there to work that is...it wouldnt be kind of hard to have a cabin together if I'm not there!!!! I am excited that we will both be back at camp. Can we still take walks together ( Read more... )

I realize it's been wicked long since I made an update, sorry. My first student teaching placement ended March 11th. It went wicked well. I loved it, i was really sad to leave my kids and the school. My new placement is really difficult. I'm in a third grade ESL classroom. I don't have ESL experience AT ALL, so this has all been new and quite ( Read more... )

So it's been a really long time since I updated, sorry about that. Since I last updated I left Australia (awful awful day), I got my wedding dress (YAY!!!), I started student teaching (yay) and my sister closed on her house ( Read more... )

Well Rich and I are now offically engaged! He asked me to marry him shortly after midnight on New Years. We were down on the beach and there were fireworks going off, and the stars were out. It was very romantic...even if I did forget to say yes until we were on the phone with my mom and dad!!! It's not like he didn't know what my answer was ( Read more... )

So....FIVE DAYS!!! I can't believe it.  I've been looking forward to this since, well since Aug 22nd, and now it's here!  It's craziness.

This week I've been a bundle of emotions.  It's hitting me that I'm not coming back to Cortland next semester, and it makes me sad, like really sad.  I didn't realize I'd be this upset about leave.  I know that ( Read more... )

Well my time at Cortland, living in Cortland, is approaching an end.  It makes me sad because I've really enjoyed my time here.  I've lucked out all around when it comes to roommates, and experiences.  To think it all started in Alger a couple of years ago, and now it ends in West Campus.  Atleast I finally lived with someone for more than one ( Read more... )

I realize it's been a wicked long time since I updated, BUT...my computer was getting fixed.  I got it back last week, and then this weekend I found out that my DVD player program had been deleted, so I need to go back to them and yell...talk in an assertive voice...

I only have one more visit to my practicum classroom.  Today when I went Lyndsey ( Read more... )

So my life has been kinda hectic lately.  I ended up going home earlier so I could see my grandparents.  I don't know if I'd seen them since Richleft.  Tonight Kate W. and I went grocery shopping.  It was ( Read more... )
