That's me
Wow, it's been months and months and months...
But that's ok, because this journal is for my own use and no one else's, I don't mind posting certain things for others to see, but if it's really that personal and I don't want anyone getting that information, then I won't.
Updates from March...
wow...ok
Summer was fantastic and fantastically busy - lived with Aaron all summer in Atlanta, worked at AE and at a JCC day camp. Really busy on the work side, but Aaron and I are now three years strong and we're still planning to be together when I am done with school.
I'm looking into doing my internship with another program in Georgia instead of finishing at MSU. If I can cut the time I'm away by a year and still earn certification to teach, why not? I'm still enrolled to do the program here, but I've met with my advisors and I am working on getting more info from programs down there.
My computer died (RIP Emachine), so I've been doing my work for the last two-odd weeks at the Union, Library, Hubbard, pretty much anywhere I can use the Internet, print, and park on campus. Luckily, the College of Ed still wants us to have laptops by our Internship year, so I'll be getting my graduation present early :).
Classes this year have been up and down. The coursework for the TE program could be so much better, and if we weren't doing placements this year I'd be going crazy. However, my 4th grade placement is amazing, I love the teacher, the kids are great, etc. I think I'll stick with upper elementary as my preference, but I still haven't tried middle school yet. Who knows? At least I know I prefer older kids to the 5 year olds. Cute, sweet, but not the level I want to teach.
On the "what the hell?" side, my ex is engaged. And having a baby. We're still friends, so when I found out from someone completely unrelated to the situation, I called him to see what was happening. Yup, he's going to be a daddy and he bought her a ring. Crazy...still not done with college, but moving pretty quickly to grow up. I know that it happens, that he's doing the right thing by making a commitment to her, and more importantly, that he would want to make a commitment to her, so I'm happy for him. But I can't stop thinking though, that on some weird level, that could have been me. Glad it wasn't, we never did anything that would even risk getting a baby involved, but still...
Maybe it's because he's someone I was once close to, not just some random person I knew once. I wish them well.
Ok, need to go, I have another placement for a different class and I only felt like updating because I don't want to with MySpace and I don't use Facebook for that reason at all. This is my "diary" place. For other people to see...w/e...
