1 week down 15 to go!

One week of school is done- or the classes are anyways. Now I just have the dreading homework. I have to say that I never thought I would have laughed so much on the first week of school, but I did. I have an awesome Block of girls to learn with.
Some highlights:

• Talking with one teacher and agreeing to make a 3 hr class at an elementary school a hybrid class!
• Making amends with previous teachers!
• At the elementary school my professor said, "The P.E. teacher is really cute and young!" Us: "When you say young do you mean young for you or for us and do you mean cute as in hott or cute as in nice/ gentleman?" Prof: "Young for me, but you'll see." P.E. teacher walks through the class and we all watch with staring eyes... Us: "yeah, he's not young or cute" Haha... he is for her and that's all that matters! lol!
• Old teacher humor!
• JIHGFEDCBA blast Off! (replacing letters for the numeral system for adding and subtracting! really difficult when you don't know your alphabet backwards!)
  
• When asked what math tools we would like to have in our classrooms to teach with one girl calmly said, "Calculator!" HAHA (Teacher was looking for the answer of paper, counters, t-tables, etc!)
• Sudoku!
• Geost foor phoon, phaloe thoo dats! Translation: Just for fun, follow the dots.
• Taking 3rd grade math standards aims test all over again! (epic fail!)
• Finding out if I have math anxiety- No doubt! I'm fearful about math!

Best part is I now can tell you that teaching is not just telling, it's showing. I was told today that my job is not going to get easier- dang it! lol but that's the joy of it! Keep your hands and feet inside at all times cuz it's going to be a bumpy ride with lots of laughs!

Beauty shop... or something

One last post. Since I cannot figure this blogging thing out I just decided to make a new post. :)
My friend came over the other day to play beauty shop as she calls it. I was just having fun and letting her get me ready for a dinner with high school friends I haven't seen in 4 years. Wow i'm getting old! It's really been that long since I thought I was on top of the world! Oh wait, I'm there again, Senior! YEAH! Dang it... what to do after Dec... if you have any ideas please share! Masters, or teaching (birth to 8th grade is what i'm aiming for) Or Nanny? is there a degree for that? anyone?
anywho. I totally made fun of the photo snapping portion of the afternoon cuz it's awkward and I was told not to laugh or talk or move. It was so much fun! Or in another photo, I had no upper body strength. I sorta stopped P90X. Yeah... I'd rather eat ice cream and feed the ducks!

Thanksgiving through New years!

Here is the next update for let's say the next semester or until I can figure out another break from school and life in general. Besides, I'm not too great at this blogging business, but if you get a Facebook page, add me. You can see all the pictures in the world! Plus you can hear how my mom called me liver the other day!
Thanksgiving rocked (my aunts took pics of that and I will not steal any pictures from them unless they let me and I have yet to ask), Christmas was cool. I stayed up all Christmas eve just to find out that Santa does not exist. My child heart is upset. :(tear) I got home at 7 am- just in time to wake everyone up! Tod was up and helped me. My niece, Caely was so mad that I woke her up. Haha! It was time I showed her Christmas morning. However, wanted nothing to do with presents, just the Christmas decorations that she could dance too. My mom has good taste as well. I will be wearing the same outfit every week- I just don't know what day yet. My aunts and uncles on the Ellsworth side tried to set me up with a guy that randomly walked in the wrong house. Yeah... ain't happening people! I can't make it any clearer!



Here are a few pictures I took from New Years Eve. Yes, I did get a random kiss from a random guy. However, I did not let him get away without getting his name. No, I did not want his number. I've got my eyes on a real gentleman.




It was a fun night! We danced, played video games, gambled on Deal or No Deal (that's our Vegas-haha! and shot hoops. May I just add that I love my height! I may be short, but my brothers taught me well! I can surely drive when it comes to video games. Haha!
