I sing to life, to its beauty To each of its wounds Each of its caresses, caresses. Josh Groban Canto Alla Vita

*Reading project (can send and resend until I get the a)
* Take home final (but come on, it's multiple choice and her tests are pretty easy)

Holy cow, just two more things! I don't know what to do with my self! I think I procrastinated about the projects because i don't know what I'm going to do once I don't have school work any more.

Turn your head up to the sky, nothing down below, don't let go

My friend Ashley made me that picture, it's me as a super hero. I can't remember what my super hero name is, but my super power is taming small children.

I feel like I need to be a super hero these days, or at least have super powers. I'm extreamly busy trying to finish up the last few things I need to do to graduate on Thursday, unfortunately, I suffer from a horrible disease called procrastination. I have one more paper to write (and I can keep submitting it until I get a grade I'm happy with) and a take home test to do. I also have to do some volunteer hours, but I can't do that until Friday (I have to take an incomplete in my one class).

Work has been going really well. For a while I was feeling like I couldn't compare to the two other teachers in my room. They had wonderful experiences happening and I got my subject just thrown at me and told to do it because I did it once and liked it. Well going from talking about shadows (which happened once) to having the kids telling me stories as they used the shadow puppets I made for them to them making their own puppets and stories, has been an amazing thing.

I'm really enjoying the OD. I'm really thankful that Josh invited me over a year ago. I find it interesting that I always have friends introduce me to things and I stick with them, and they stop. But he'll back in a few months. I do have to say though, I think that if he had not gone away, I don't think I would have gotten involved as I have. I think I would still be thinking of it as Josh's church instead of my own. What's bringing this on? I had the cookie exchange on Friday, and as I sat around the Woodworth's table just talking and having the kids crawling around my feet, I realized how lucky I am to have met these people.

Okay, I think I've squeezed a lot into this post. Hopefully after all the school work is done, I'll update this more.

It's a mad world- The Red Paintings

So, I'm sitting here at work on my break, trying to think of something to do in the last five minutes of time I have away from the classroom. I'll probably go hunt down a snack or something. It's going well, or at least okay, with my two co workers out. One will be back tomorrow, and we take the kids to the symphony. I can't wait for that! Okay, off to find my snack!

wasted words on lower cases and capitals

okay, so i said i would update this more often then my lj, and so far i've failed. i'm trying to think of all the exciting things that have happened since i posted on thursday...umm. i babysat on friday after work. that's like my second job. i haven't had a free friday night in i don't know how long. i don't mind (too much) though. i'd much rather be playing and having a chance to do some knitting or reading than working in a store or at a resturant. saturday i went to the dentist. it was pretty good. i do have some small cavities though, so boo i have to get them taken care of. after the dentist i started the laundry before going to wash trixxie with the robinson boys, and their mom. it was fun, and it was nice to get to hang out with jack. i went to a party at suzi's last night, and it was good. i was a little nervous about going, since i'm not really friends (more like aquantences) with any of the people that were going. i took phase 10 though, and ended up playing that with several people. i feel bad that i didn't get to talk to suzi though.

today i went to a baby shower for my friend from college. it's funny (and a little sad) how all of my friends are growing up and getting married and having kids. and most of my friends from work and from OD are married/engaged/seriously dating as well. then there's me. single and living at home (and actually enjoying it most of the time.) any way, the shower was nice. i was the only friend from college there, but the people i sat with were nice. mandy is going to be such a good mom.

i came home and fought with mom and made a chocolate peanut butter thing for the potluck. it was good, so i heard from the people the got to eat it. there was so much good looking food there! i just had desert and some sweet potatoe casserole since i ate at home. i was surprised that one of BJ's sons wanted me to go to communion with him. it was cute, and nice to spend a little time with him.

that's all. i'm going to go watch kissing jessica stein and try not to spaz out about work this week (lynn and elisa are out, leaving me to be the only teacher in my room tomorrow and tuesday with two subs. the kids did not do well with one sub last week) but i do have two things to look forward to this week, actually 3. not going to class on tuesday to give a tour of the center (whee extra money, and a chance to just be helpful), dinner at the quiet storm on wednesday and no work on friday.

You know, I love having the TV on, most often just as background noise, but every once in a while, I really get into a show that I have watch. Lately (for over a year now) it's been CSI:. Although for the past season, and this one, I've had class on Thursday, and I could only catch episodes when class was cancelled, or months later when it repeated. Well, this semester my prof lets out at 8, and I try everyweek to make it home for the episode, but I always missed the first half hour. Well, tonight I got to see it all! I have no idea how I made it home (I actually missed the first 5 min. But that's nothing). It was a nice end to a pretty good day.

Also, I really need to have my camera in my bag all the time. Or, just find time to go out and take some pictures.
