Cory Ridge is now student teaching at Noble!  He's with Mrs. Cook.  We were all in the hall for a fire drill and I see this mop of curly hair at the end of the hall...lol.  It was the funniest thing.  Waved when I took the kids to art, brief chat over lunch and warned him that my class was coming at 2.  It must have been fate that we talked about ( Read more... )

Y'know, this staying up on campus really isn't terrible.  I'm finding that I have so much more time to do things when it is just me and my room.  Granted, I'm still not making it to school on time, but aside from that things are going well.  I can stay afterwards to get things done because I'm not in a rush.  And I'm actually getting plans done ( Read more... )

Enter the first week of Heidelberg's spring break.  And here I am...on the couch...in Williard...alone ( Read more... )

So, off-topic, I have discovered a glorious thing:

Staying up until 2am = Snow Day

Two days in a row!  This is a five day weekend...day two.  And there is no snow on the ground.  Today this is supremely beautiful because it gives me the chance to finish the plans I didn't do yesterday, time to hang out before heading home, and the chance to leave for ( Read more... )

Yeah, I'm just kind of here right now.  I don't really know what's going on.  I'm confused and I haven't felt entirely like myself for a little bit.  Jess and I have had a lot of late night conversations lately and I've been spilling things that I didn't think I would.  Things that do not need to be said to her, but to another person.

Graduation is ( Read more... )

I'm listening to Beau Bristow's new CD.  That's where it comes from.  I love that man...what a great voice!

Student teaching day two wasn't too bad.  I taught the second part of my Canada lesson today.  I made it personal by showing pictures and the kids really got into it.  I'm finishing it tomorrow.  If I remember, I'm going to bring in my ( Read more... )

Full student teaching...Day One.

I absolutely love this Jack-Jack icon.  It perfectly summarizes how I feel in the classroom.

OK, long story short...I'm panicking.  I am not ready for this.  I nearly started crying during morning bathroom break (less than half an hour after I got to school).  For whatever reason, lectures, essays, pointless busy work ( Read more... )

It's official.  Tomorrow is the very last day of my very last Christmas vacation.  And I am completely apathetic.

Ugh.  I dread packing.  I have clothing all over creation upstairs...and I have to sort what movies I'm taking back...and pack up all of the EDU manuals I never read...and somehow remember to take the food my mom bought for me...along ( Read more... )

*sighs*  Welcome back to campus.

On Wednesday, my doctor told me that my infection is not gone yet.  It could take up to six weeks to fully clear.  The reason that I cannot hear fully yet is because my ear cavity is full of gross stuff.  Blech.  So, I'm on these wonderful "horse pills" twice a day for 10 days.  And then I'm going in to see him again ( Read more... )

*scoff and guffaw*  Yeah, right ( Read more... )
