sorry for the crappy post yesterday
Well, it's the begining of the end, my last semester here. I've been lamenting about this over the past few days, and i did so in my live journal yesterday. I am amazed that it has almost been exactly 4 years that I have been here at UNI. Basically, 4 years since i've been in high school and I can't believe how much i've changed/grown up/experienced some great things and some not so great things. I can't believe how much the world has changed, or how amazed I am that I am getting older...ok, enough of the lamenting, it's bound to make somebody sad.
Christmas break was good, but nothing to write home about. I went home and was completely immersed at working at the finley hospital kitchen for a week and a half. I think that it will be the last time I go back to work there, i'm growing up and if i don't need to (as in, if i get a summer job or two), i won't go back, i hate it when i'm there. Over break, Jon and I began major planning on the wedding. We spent a whole day driving around the wonderful town of Dubuque looking for wedding photographers (for such a big town, there's so few photographers who take weddings), a reception hall, caterer, and dj. We got the church right before break and have been put on the schedule, and we also got all of the aforementioned (i don't know if I spelled that right) things, as in, all of the big things. The only big thing we haven't really decided on is a dj, and we're pretty sure who we're going with. I feel so relieved now that the big stuff is nailed down, that i'm not going to work on much wedding stuff for awhile! My dress is the next thing and we're going to wait till David's Bridal has their next $99 sale (unfortunately i can't go for their current one).
Enough wedding stuff. Phase II does not look like it will be quite as challenging as Phase I was, probably because I've been through Phase I and am ready to tackle the world. I've decided that I don't want to be one of those bitter old teachers counting down the days unitl retirement....i'm always going to try to be as "idealistic" as i am now. (One of my new profs said he loved teaching us cause we're idealistic) I also got told that because of UNI's rigorous special education minor, and UNI's teaching reputation, we will not have any problem getting jobs after school...i only hope he's right.
Anyway, i've written a novel, so i'm gonna go..
