holy cow. i miss fun!
So I am going to update, and
I apologize if this becomes either way too long or way too short. I am
running on like 4 hours of sleep from last night, and I am pooped from the past
3 weeks of classes. It's absolutely crazy to think that we are 3 entire
weeks into the Winter Semester! I am so busy, and I know that I keep on
saying that but seriously…
SCHOOL:
I have 18 Credits, and man-what the heck was I thinking?! I started class Monday not knowing anyone. Got into the room and searched and searched for a familiar face…I found only one-Tabitha Greenwood. She was in my Literature class this fall with Basil Clark; but we never talked at all. I was so paranoid that she probably hated me b/c of that fact, but I sat at her table with two other girls (who she already knew) that I was unfamiliar with; Patrice Giltrop and Stephanie Normand. I ended up being seriously entertained by the 3 of them, and indeed we are now friends! It also turned out that since I am currently enrolled in the College of Education, most of our classes are together! We are all four doing the ZA (early childhood) endorsement, and that means that we are guaranteed at least the three courses required for that together. We all quickly realized that we have three classes together this semester (Patrice and I have four), and we are having so much fun!
Mondays:
TE 341 Methods of teaching Social Studies (with Tab, Steph, and Patrice)
Tuesdays:
TE 480 Early Childhood Education (again, with Tab, Steph, and Patrice)
ENGL 380 Teaching the Art of Writing (with Patrice)
& MATH 125 Contemporary Mathematics (a very meak nine fellow students…)
Wednesdays:
TE 301 Teaching Children’s Literature (with Tab, Steph, and Patrice)
Thursdays:
TE 480 Early Childhood Education
ENGL 380 Teaching the Art of Writing
& MATH 125 Contemporary Mathematics
This semester’s classes are really hectic and seemingly simple-with a lot of “busy work” to occupy our time. BUT, with the ladies-we keep it entertaining. :D
WORK:
I have been working most weekends, and usually my week looks as follows:
Monday 9-4 (class 4:30-7:30)
Tuesday off (due to class all day)
Wednesday 9-4 (class 4:30-7:30)
Thursday off (due to class all day)
Friday 8-5, 9-6, or 1-10
Saturday 8-5, 9-6, or 1-10
Sunday 10-7 or 11-7
I REALLY DON’T KNOW HOW I AM SURVIVING!!!
SOCIAL LIFE:
Non-existant! I do not have an once of a second of a day or anything else to dedicate to my own personal likings! I am surprised and excited that I actually had time to update this right now!! I should be doing hw!
So anyway, my life is very eventful, even if the events are the same each week. Also, Sharon, and Jenn are pregnant-both about 10 weeks or so, and Doug and I got our travel itinerary from Mary a few weeks back. We leave for Spring Break in FL/Bahamas March 2nd from MBS about 7pm, and arrive back March 10. I seriously cannot wait for that! It means a lot of saving $$ for bills, but what the heck. I don’t care-and we are going to have so much fun! I have to get to beddy-bye, but I hope the semester/year is treating you all very well and please, if you are in the mall at all-------STOP BY and say Hello! I would love the surprise and joy of a familiar face in the unruly crowd! :) Ta-ta!
