And... I Am Back...

Ok, I know it has been a while since I have been on here. Please forgive me.

I am happy to report that it almost my favorite time of the year! The local school system starts back on Thursday, August 4th. I am definitely ready. My junior year of college at Austin Peay State University starts on August 29. Finally, on September 6th I will become a certified substitute teacher for Robertson County School System. (In two short years, I hope to be a teacher at Greenbrier Middle School.)

For an update of the married life, I am loving it. Even with all the little things that we are both still adjusting to I would not trade it for the world. Today is a very exciting day in our lives, because we now have internet!!! It makes me thankful for the fantastic reason that we have to have it because of my two online classes this semester.

I am going to try and be on here more often, but as many of the best laid plans often do, it might not happen.

But here is to trying!!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer. :)

Only 2 years, and seven and a half weeks, and two summer classes...

I am not excited at all about finishing college! Can you tell?! Right now, it is all I can do just to remind myself why I want to go to college. I want to make a difference, and help students have fun learning. However, I don't want to deal with the stuff that college finds necessary in order to get the degree to become the teacher that will make a difference.

Ok, rant over now. On the flip side, in only 95 days I will get to marry the man I love and begin to spend the rest of our lives together, and I can't wait!

Give and Get is Here!

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.
