another long blog

There have been sooo many things I have wanted to blog. But I seriously have not had any time! Craziness! When I do finally stop and have a few free minutes I am much to tired to think about writing a blog. I am tired right now too, so consider yourself warned :)

Here are a few random things about life:

• My room at school is so insanely quiet now that they have taken out our AC. I miss it so much! I stole my friends fan, just so we would have a little noise. Of course, there is almost always music playing too.
• I finally smell good again. (well I guess that fact should be left for debate) but at least I am happy with the new scents. I recently ran out of all perfume I ever owned. okay it was only two bottles but they both seemed to empty the same week! I'm super thankful for the friend who gave me some 'gift' money. I went shopping last night! Super fun times! It is the first I have bought anything exciting in awhile.
• I had so much fun at our Mode Fall Retreat last weekend! I do have pictures but not with me. I am babysitting. Is it bad to use other people's computer after the kids are in bed? Hmm... I hope not, it sure beats watching TV! lol
• I am already excited for Christmas! I just started listening to Christmas music last week. It is earlier than I normally do. But I think I will blame it on Student Teaching... We have been listening to and working on their Christmas program so I am 'in the spirit' :) I am trying not to listen to it too often because I don't want to be tired of it before Thanksgiving is even here!
• Speaking of Thanksgiving and thankfulness... One of the many things I'm super thankful for is my family's house! Yes, haven't I told you? lol. We have our own home now. At this very moment my family is busy packing and unpacking. I wish I were there to help. The kitchen is always 'my baby' but I'm at school. :( oh well. When I go home for Thanksgiving all the work will be done! hehehe
• Today I was the 'guinea pig' for my great photographer friend :) She wanted to try different shots, lighting, etc. It was actually a lot of fun. We spent about an hour at the park and 3 clothes changes later... who knows how many pictures she has. I have not seen them yet, cuz I came straight to work after. Maybe, just maybe I will put a few on here. It was kind of odd in some ways for me. I haven't done anything like that in 6 years since I graduated from HS! I felt like I was on display lol. Well, if anything, it was fun to feel younger again :D
• Student Teaching is going really good. Although I should wait and make that statement AFTER this coming week! I am going solo! Ahh! It will be busy. Hopefully I will survive. I would like to say that I have enjoyed teaching more than I thought I would. I have documented many hysterical moments/quotes from cute little kids. I still need to do a whole separate blog post with them and maybe some pictures. (I still have not taken any of student teaching).
• I will be done with all my requirements in December. I am trying to make decisions about second semester... I will not graduate until May, so 'what to do until then?' I have some 'stuff' in my head... but nope! Not gonna tell you yet! lol Just pray for me if you think about it, that I will make the very best choice!

Well, this is super long and if you have endured to the end... KUDOS!! I will go for now. Leave me comments if you have a moment. I like hearing from all my friends :) tata!
