Basketball and Life
Tonight as I sat at the high school basketball game between my two former schools I realized how fortunate I was to be able to move. My mom will probably never let me live this down, but I am extremely glad to have left Sycamore. These past few years have made it clear to me how everything there is just an example of what you would get if you tried to mix country and stuck up. However, not everyone there is like that, but just enough to ruin the bunch like bad apples in a crate. At GHS, most everyone really does care about everyone else. It is hard to find it, but I have here in my home of Greenbrier.

Spring Semester 2011
This spring semester is going well so far. I have only forgotten to do one assignment so far! I have only had classes for three days so far, and I know that sounds bad. Anyone who knows me well enough knows that is a BIG deal!
Today I have started a new blog for my education class, and if you want to follow along with my adventure here is the url: www.musingsfromthebrier.blogspot.com it is covering The 23 Things.

New Year and a Chair
This year has brought about some major changes in my life already. These were definitely not planned changes, but extremely welcomed.
The first change is organization. For many years I have waited for this particular bug to bite me. I had long since given up hope, but evidently when I started to organize Nick's house in order for it to become our house in June it kicked in!
This week I have organized, upgraded, and FINALLY used my desk area in my room without getting depressed about being in the little depressed cold corner between my bed and dresser. Also, I have been really good about saving money when I have shopped for things I have needed/wanted. For instance, I went with Nick with his first shopping trip of the year and we used coupons! Got a ton of groceries and household items for only $35! Another thing I am really excited about is my teacher types things.
The thing I am most proud of is my trip to Wal-Mart with my mom. We went and I only spent $42 and I got everything I would need this semester, but that could also be used in the classroom. Another thing I have done recently is ordered all the supplies needed to build my own library for my one day classroom. I already have all the books I could possibly need to have right now, but now I have the pockets for the back of it (they are adorable too!), the officially library style index card, and the organizer to hold the cards of the checked out books!
Another thing I have wanted since Fall of 2009 is a nice desk chair. I found one today at Office Depot. By the way, they have a great teacher rewards program and they let education students open it too. It was originally $100, but it was on sale for $59. After that I got a discount for the teacher rewards and walked out for $47 after tax! Luck was on my side today, because I wasn't wanting to put it together but did not want to pay to have it done. Luckily, they only ended up having one left so I got to get the display which was put together already for no constructing fee!
