End of an era...
So, I don't want to jinx anything since I'm kind of superstitious and all, but I met with my cooperating teacher and advisor on Wednesday for my final evaluation. They passed me. So I will be graduating May 16th.
It's crazy. It seriously feels like I was a freshman not too long ago (but I'm glad I'm not since freshman year sucked). It's weird since I've been at this for five years, rather than the standard four years, but it feels like it's all gone by in a flash. Like I said, freshman year sucked. Sophomore year was crazy. It was a lot of good and a lot of bad rolled up into one. Junior year may have been my favorite. That was the year I think I found balance. I moved into an apartment with some friends. It was good. Senior year was pretty good. Not as good as junior year. Senior year part 2 (I guess that's what I'll call my fifth year) was the most stressful probably. I had a hell of a lot of fun the first semester though. Second semester, while student teaching, I got too damn busy and got more depressed than I have been since....middle school! lol!
I wish over all I had blogged more during college and taken more pictures. Michelle warned me to do that but honestly I usually didn't think to do it. I used to have a lot of blogs from sophomore year on my old myspace but that got deleted after a bunch of drama. blah.
As for what I'm going to do next, I'm not sure. I wanted to apply for JET but now that I have Sparky I'm going to have to wait to do that. I don't want to leave him. I don't really want to settle down into a permanent teaching position yet though. Maybe I'll apply for some substitute teaching jobs and tutoring jobs? But with the job market these days I should be grateful for whatever comes my way.
So yeah, this next week is going to be really bittersweet for me. I'll be ending students teaching (I really don't want to leave the students, I've grown so attached to them), and college (on one hand I'm glad to be done, on the other I don't want it to be over). Man, did it go by fast.
