eeek i haven't updated here in soo long. I decided to come back though, like five seconds ago while i was trying to take a nap.
my life is slowly falling into place. which is fantastic. college of ed is so wonderful and i love it. i got a job at a child development center, which is pretty much perfect for me. except i don't have a permanent shift there yet. but that will come in time and for now i'm enjoying subbing and just showing up whenever. I absolutely love the school I'm at for service learning. I love going there and just be able to hang out with kids and see their reactions when they get an answer right. I also really love the look of wonder that they give me when I correct them about something. These kids are fantastic. I love it and pretty much everything about being in a classroom.
The one thing I just can't seem to get into place is, as lame and corny as this sounds, a romantic life of some sort. I can get the attention of any creeper on campus but I can't seem to get the attention of the guys I actually like. I keep telling myself that something will come along soon. I'm just starting to get a little impatient. Especially since I can tell that my parents are kind of like "why aren't you dating a nice jewish boy yet?" well...it's mainly my mother. I'm pretty sure my father is happier that I'm not seeing anybody. Especially since the guy I am interested in isn't jewish. Oh well. Today is beautiful out and I don't plan on having this one little thing take the smile off my face.
I really hope I get to do this study abroad...speaking of which I really should do that application. The trip is to Ghana. I'm super pumped to even consider going to Africa. I've always wanted to go on an African safari of sorts but basically just being in africa seems like a great way to experience life and I don't know, something else.
I'm frustrated by trying to figure out housing for next year. I feel like I'm the only one doing any work in looking for a house or apartment or something. It's confusing. I have no idea what I'm doing!!! Or where to start really. But I do have a few numbers to call.
They turned the heat on in my room and now it's crazy hot in here.
