Things are happening!

Tuesday, May 11, 2010
So lately I've been juggling: classwork, observations, sub jobs, work, relationship, puppy care and basic home upkeep. Did I mention that I forgot to take my final exam for my General Education class? Yep. Since I also had to present a quick and easy science experiment for our last day of class I totally blanked when it came to taking the online final the night before. Luckily I wasn't the only one (four other people also forgot) so the instructor let me take it late. Anyways, so now my coursework is officially complete! In other news, the promotion I was up for at work fell through due to circumstances not entirely of my own making. I sat through THE WORST INTERVIEW EVER, but every interview is a learning experience, right? right?? But my friend that I was supposed to be filling in for finally had her baby, Jackson on the fourth. Still trying to think up a little something to take over to her. Maybe a comfy robe or cupcakes...

On a happier note, I passed my PPR exam! So now I have taken and passed both of my required teaching exams. I know that I also should look into taking the ESL certification, but for now it's apply apply apply to every job opening in the district and if nothing comes of that I'll be student teaching in the fall. I know that going out and getting a job fresh off the boat will be difficult if not near impossible, but I think getting paid for a year's internship still outweighs not getting paid for a semester's worth of teaching.

And finally, one of my best friend's weddings is in SIX months (I wonder if she realizes this, maybe I should call her and tell her) so I've decided once again it's time to get in shape. I have heard good things about this program called Couch Potato to 5K and have signed up to get my run on. I like the program because it's designed to help you build up to running a 5K. Day one was tougher than I expected, but I am determined to be a happier healthier me! Other than that I have some fun times to look forward to; I'm heading to Waco next weekend for an eye doctor appointment and a MASSAGE with mom and auntie :) Then the next weekend Matty and I are celebrating our 24th birthdays with a little staycation downtown Houston style and then the next weekend my lovely ladies are coming down to visit and we are hitting the beach! Can't wait!
