I was just thinking today of how far I've come in my life, and how ambitious I'm being with my post-graduate plans. I was talking to a good friend of mine today about how much there is to see and do out there in the world, and how I want to go out there and do stuff. I was looking into travelling to all these places, but there's something very ( Read more... )

As the subject line implies, I'm a little stressed right now. Classic me, classic student teaching stress. I just feel like I have no idea where to go with what I'm supposed to be teaching. Mythology seems to be going pretty well, for the most part, but as Tony told me earlier, I think I have to start  kicking some people into gear. Which makes me ( Read more... )

So I just got an email yesterday (which, btw, was the worst day I've had in a really long time) from my dad, saying things were looking good for him to move out to Minneapolis, and that me, my sister, and my mom should get out there soon to take a look at furniture pieces we'd want. It's just so weird. I knew it was coming, but it's weird to have ( Read more... )

So I'm officially a student teacher, wohoo! It's really weird. Luckily, though, the only thing I have to worry about this semester is doing a good job in the schools I'm placed in-- no exams, no papers, no crappy professors =). I'm taking a break from planning my first set of lessons, which will be a few lessons on creative writing. I'm pumped. I ( Read more... )

 i'm almost done with my undergrad. hooray!!!!! it's such a good feeling :D

If only they had told us way back in freshman year that we'd want to seriously injure ourselves by the time we were seniors.....Senior year's crazy. I know I say this every year, but this one's more weird because it's my last semester (since I'll be student teaching in the spring). So because my scheduling got screwed over due to lack of my ( Read more... )

So I kind of dropped off the face of the earth during the summer. Sorry. Life got in the way. It does that sometimes. The summer was insanely busy, and this semester won't be much better. But you know what? That's okay. Being busy helps time go by, I'll have enough time (hopefully!) to get work done for my classes, and it's technically my last ( Read more... )

So it's been a little while since I've updated this thing. Sorry followers, but life kinda got in the way. I've been outside like twice this week, because I go straight from class to work, or class to the library to kill time, then to tony's to spend time with him. That's a kinda stinky thing about this summer, though- Tony's a little farther away ( Read more... )
