I've neglected this thing for a looong time.
Well, since I haven't written in here for like years, I can't really say, "Well, this is what has been going on since I last wrote."...but... this is what has been going on since I last wrote.
I started and finished my pre-student teaching semester in detroit this fall. It was quite interesting... it tested my patience, and it definately wore me out (I left my house every day at 6:45am for school,) but in retrospect, I really learned a lot. I saw things that I would NEVER think you'd see in a second grade class, and I heard things you'd hope you'd never hear, but I definately learned a lot.
Things kind of were brought into perspective after this semester. In a year, I'll be done with college and then what? I can't wait to get a real job, a real life.
Christmas and New Year's were both fun. Carl loved (I think?) the grille I got him for his Aviator, and he got me a BEAUTIFUL cross necklace. (It's Tiffany... woo hoo!) He also got me one of those posturpedic mattress pads for my bed, and it's amazing.
I've been working a ton, trying to pay my bills, and I can't believe that school is starting again next semester... 2 math courses and 2 lit courses... should be exciting!
