Well I'm back! For good this time, I promise!
What have I been doing since I've been gone, you might ask?
Teaching. Since student teaching has started, I have devoted basically every ounce of my heart and soul to my 3rd graders, and I have loved every moment of it. There is truly nothing like going into school everyday and having a class of twenty 8 and 9 year olds to make you feel like a rock star. I cannot believe that it has flown by, and I'll be graduating in a month and a half!
Working. In addition to teaching 5 days a week, I also work as a hostess at a nice restaurant here in Charlotte. I try to work about 3 or 4 shifts a week in order to start saving up my money for after graduation. While it is exhausting going from school to work, I enjoy being able to do something that gets my mind off school every once in a while.
Papers. This whole impact project for student teaching? Sucks. I'm so ready to submit the final product next week. Then I'm officially done with papers for undergrad career.
Having fun. The new boy in my life has made me incredibly happy. More about it will come, I promise:).
I've been absolutely loving life lately, even though I feel like it is flying by.
I would love to fill you all in on the past few months, but there is too much work to be done for tonight!
It sounds like you've been super-busy! I hope you're enjoying student teaching, but also finding time to relax!
ReplyDeleteAHhh! So glad I found your blog! Even though we've had our ups and downs.. I like knowing how your life is going! I'm glad you are loving student teaching! I'm excited to start -- but I'm not thrilled about the IMPACT project! You're almost done though! I can't believe you are working so much, too! Great job! It will all be worth it in the end :)
ReplyDeleteAshley, I'm so glad you found my blog too! I've enjoyed catching up on yours. The impact project isn't terrible--it's essentially the same thing as your IDP.
ReplyDeleteIt will definitely all be worth it, I'm sure you're so excited too! :)
