PS.... I don't have very many pictures of my life from the past month.... so we'll just see what to do. Most pictures are with my aunt Mindi. I'll see if I can get them on my facebook sooner or later.

So, what has been going on???? Lets see.... This semester has been very busy. I've spent most of it in class either in an elementary setting or in a college setting. So, the classes I am taking.... SPED 4000 (a class about special education in general), SPED 5530 (a class about assistive technology), PSY 3660 (psychology for education majors), ELED 3005 (a class about classroom management), ELED 3000 (a class about the history of education alongside with my practicum), and Big Band Swing............... SO yes, that is what I've been doing. It's been especially fun, because I've been doing practicum. Which is amazing! In summary, I spend three days a week in an elementary classroom just helping out, teaching some things, doing bulletin boards, observations, anything the teacher allows you to help with. Which is just great. I've learned a lot and it's been so much fun. I'm currently in a 3rd grade classroom and the kids are so great. I love them all.

My social life has been Big Band Swing. So much fun. I love it so much. I've gotten a lot better at dancing and it's just one of those things that's fun and stress relieving. So, I do that tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays. A lot of dancing, but so much fun.
My computer broke... so I haven't had a computer for quite a while. Which is one of the reasons I never updated this. But, I would like to thank my dad for fixing it. Even though I gave him a lot of grief about it and he had a lot of other things to do. So, Thanks dad for helping me out :D Love ya
Valentines was fun. I spent the week before being abnormally social in lots of dancing, partyings with friends, more dancing, an Institute dance, and then the weekend. I got a little depressed on the actual Valentines day. Valentines was always special for me and Adam. And I felt a little lonely. It's the first Valentines in three years that I hadn't had him. So.... yes. I'm still getting used to this "being single" thing. And it's hard. But... I'm doing it. And will continue to strive to succeed with my life and everything.
Okay.... so that's it. School, Practicum, dancing, and lots of homework. I even double-checked in my personal journal to see if there was anything I missed.
Just to have you keep up with my life, my current obsessions are:
2) Alex Day and Charlie McDonnell (their music and youtube videos)
3) Dancing
4) Harry Potter (specifically the lego game that we have on the xbox here)
5) Talking to my mom and dad. Seriously, I believe I call them roughly every other day. I love them. :D
6) Being a better teacher
Thanks for keeping up with my life and those small things that matter to me. I love you all.
