I know, I know...

Is this thing on?

Hmm...

So, when I originally started this blog, I had intended on writing on a regular basis so that I could hash out the things going on in my life, the good and the bad.

I haven't really gotten to do that. Can you tell?

So, recap time.

I started student teaching this semester. Yay! I have had a blast. I am in a special ed academic adjustment class. I love my kiddos. They always brighten my day. I have honest-to-goodness not had a single day that I did not want to be in that classroom. I've wanted more sleep, maybe, but once I step in that classroom everything is right in the world. I now know more than every that this was where I was meant to be: within the special education classroom. God has seen me through. <3

I've had to adjust to living by myself. I miss my roomie every minute but I know her life is now busy and full. So, I sit with Tucker and Tessa every day-Los Tres Amigos. I will most definitely have to get a dog next year. It's been difficult, but it is definitely preparing me for when I'm living alone starting this summer. I will be moving to wherever hires me. I've been worrying about it here lately, but I am putting it in God's hands for now. He will show me where I need to go when the time is right.

I've been spending a lot of time with friends lately. This has been to the detriment of time with other people and things in my life. But, I had to make a choice, and I made it. I want to get as much time in with them as I can since the end is getting ever closer by the day. I don't want to look back on my last semester at Tech and regret not spending more time with them. We've already had more shenanigans than any other semester of mine while at Tech. I am going to greatly miss those I will be leaving behind but that's just a part of life, I suppose.

My sister got accepted to the University of Texas and that is where she intends to go. I really really really wish it was someplace else. Then I would try to get into grad school there so we could be together. But alas, it was not meant to be. I never liked UT, I hate the campus, I hate the t-shirt fans, and I really wouldn't want to walk past hobos on my way to class everyday. Small town girls and hobos do not mix. they freak me out. And I love Austin, but it is a little too big for me to handle right now in my life. Baby steps. Baby steps. Sooo now I'm off on my own to forge my own path. I have been trying really hard to figure out where I want to live the rest of my life as opposed to "well, so and so lives there. At least I'd already have friends." This also puts me in a predicament because I HATE Dallas and Houston, and Austin and San Antonio are big and far away from home. So basically, I'm left with Fort Worth and Oklahoma City. I love both about equally for much of the same reasons so now it's all up to the school districts to decide which one will hire me. Ready, set, here we go!

Let the job applications BEGIN!!!
