Y'all it's been so long since I have blogged and today is the day I get back into the swing of things. I'm going to do a bullet list because it seems a bit intimidating to get back into blogging and bullet lists are good.
1. Well it was my birthday this week so that's pretty exciting. I feel like 20 is not that big of a deal. The most noteworthy thing is that I have survived every teen statistic known to man I guess.
2. This is the year I graduate. That's terrifying and scary and pretty awesome. I can't wait to have my own classroom and be able to teach full time. But at the same time, it means I have to adult all the time and that's super scary and really exciting at the same time!
3. I'm currently at my internship and y'all I love these kids so much. They make me smile and laugh. There are some really challenging days but also some really exciting days where I am able to make them smile, or clear up a challenging idea, or seeing them succeed in something they thought they couldn't do. Teaching is so rewarding to me and I love every minute of my time with them even if I come home and crash.
4. Rayce is coming this week! Which really should be number 1 because that's the most exciting thing. I've missed him and I can't wait to celebrate my birthday with him and my whole family. It'll be great to see him and spend time with him.
5. I am super excited because I'm taking an Adolescent Literature class right now. We have to read 2 books every week which is daunting but awesome because I've already been able to recommend some of the books I have read which is the whole point of the class. And not only was I able to recommend them but my kids have loved the books I've read which is really exciting, and THEY ARE ACTUALLY READING! Like sitting down for hours at a time to read which is a rare thing let me tell you!
6. My birthday happens to be National Grammar Day. Coincidence? I think not. It was destined to be from the very beginning.
7. Here is my two cents about politics. If everyone could stop telling me who to vote for that would be really great. Thanks!
8. A pop culture reference: The face swap happening on Snapchat and Facebook are creepy. Not funny. Not cool. Just really creepy.
9. Downtown Abbey ends today so the mourning period commences at midnight tonight. I don't know... I'm considering not watching the episode because if I don't watch it, it means the show hasn't ended right? Please send flowers, ice cream, and donations to me directly. Haha, but seriously. I'm really sad this is coming to an end.
10. This year has stretched me and grown me and I can't wait to see how else I grow. It's been a lot of work but God has been working and it's amazing.
I'm also going to try and write more. Thanks for reading and hopefully this will be more consistent this year. We can hope, but it probably won't happen.
