Yesterday was my last day observing in the preschool classroom. I think I might have to go back on my own, just to play with the kids again. After I got to know them, there wasn't one kid I didn't like, even though some of them are typical misbehaving three- and four-year-olds. I fell in love with them. One of the boys eventually learned my name ( Read more... )

I almost don't know what to do with myself now that the semester's over.. almost. I'm enjoying reading what I want. Studying for the verbal section of the GRE is okay; I'm terrified of even touching the math but I know I need to. Work is so incredibly boring, but I shouldn't complain about being paid to study and go online ( Read more... )

I just spent the last fifteen minutes rollerskating around the small part of our driveway that's flat and smooth. I've been going through the house, looking for things to yard sale, and my skates are one thing I don't think I can part with, even though I can't remember the last time I used them. I've asked Keegan multiple times to go to the skating ( Read more... )

I used to hate my middle name. When I was in elementary school, I never wanted to tell anyone what it was. No one else had a weird middle name like me. It eventually grew on me, especially as I got to know the person I was named after, my great-grandmother. She lived in New Hampshire, but she used to write me letters. She had that wonderful New ( Read more... )

I meant to post this at the beginning of the week, but I've been really busy. It's library week! Celebrate ( Read more... )

I've been in the best mood today. The weather helps a lot, even though I complain about the heat. Kentucky doesn't have spring, apparently. It jumps from winter to summer. I enjoy the temperate months ( Read more... )

I have to admit, I often don't like the novels I'm forced to read for class and continuously count down the pages to the end (I think that has less to do with the novels themselves and much more to do with the fact that I'm being forced to read them. Except Moby-Dick. Pure hatred.). I was doing the same with The Marrow of Tradition, until the last ( Read more... )

I'm so stressed. Feel free to scroll right past all my uninteresting school-related drivel to the next entry on your friends list ( Read more... )

anyone still reading my journal? anyone? bueller ( Read more... )

This semester has been a million times better than the last, which was stressful and busy beyond belief, but I'm starting to feel the pressure. Yesterday I planned out my last two semesters - I only have to take 12-15 credits a semester; I'm just afraid that courses I need won't be offered when I need them. I'm really excited about my family ( Read more... )
