And the world spins around me way too fast...
So, I just realized yesterday that I simply don't have time for my life anymore. When I try to do homework, something else distracts me. It tends to be one particular thing lately, hehe...but seriously, it's not just that. Seems like I'm really popular lately, always getting IMed or visited by someone. And all the people who want to see me or talk to me just seem so much more important than reading about different forms of lighting in movies or starting research for a paper I am not invested in anyway. Well, I already decided I could take it easy on myself this semester, so I'll keep trying to find the balance between all the people and activities in my life and doing the bare-minimum of work :P
So exciting news!!! Yesterday, I got a call from the education department. Bud told me that they have a potential placement for me for the spring!!!!! It's not definite, and I don't know if it would be my only placement, or one of two, but it's a start. They want me to go in, meet the teacher, and see the class, then tell them my impressions, because, according to Bud, "She has a very distinct way of doing things." I don't know what that means...guess I'll find out. ANyway, I did call her up right away yesterday to try to set up a time, but I left a voice message and am yet to hear back from her...I am so anxious...I can't wait! I could potentially be meeting my cooperating teacher!!! And my first sorta class!!! Oh and yeah...this is funny...Sam was saying all along, "You're gonna end up at the Magnet School..." Well, this teacher teaches at the Magnet School, sure enough :P It's a second grade and, get this, the teacher's name is CANDY. Candy Bartsh. Can you imagine calling your teacher "Mrs. Candy?" LOL. Anyway, I won't bring that up when I meet her...hehe. At any rate, this is exciting...I definitely would not be opposed to working at the Magnet School, since I think it's an excellent school.
In other news, life is just crazy lately. No time, too much to think about. My friends are all having sooooo many problems, and unfortunately, it really gets to me. I worry so much about the people I care for. And I feel so helpless...there is so little I can do to help. But I try. That's all I can so *sighs*
So, I've been worrying a lot about my friends, not to mention stressing about getting some of my work done, plus, Ben and I have been talking about some serious issues lately that have had my mind in a tizzy as well. But as far as that is concerned, things seem to have calmed down and overall that's the part of my life that's making me most happy at the moment :) I can hardly wait til Sunday cuz he's coming down and we're gonna carve pumpkins...if I can find a place around here that sells pumpkins :P I gotta ask Sam...he knows people who would know these things.
SO, I'm doing pretty good I guess :P Yesterday morning I was definitely losing my mind though, LOL. I know this was true because I went to the gym and did the most ridiculous workout. I did 5 minutes on a stepper thing while waiting for a treadmill, THEN I did 20 minutes on the treadmill, but really intense and ended up running 2.2 miles. That's a new record for me! Hey, that means I can definitely do a mile in less than 10 minutes...probably much faster even. I really need to go down to the track and time my mile (just for kicks!). I am curious!
And today is Tuesday. Just two classes, no activities...so that means cracking down on lots of work!! OR perhaps goofing off a lot...? LOL, this is def my senioritis semester!!!!
OK, guess I'm gonna go and hopefully I'll be hungry for breakfast soon!
