March

Look, it's March!  I have successfully been writing every month, now let us see if I can do it twice a month?! An update on February's post:  that friend, turns out he's not so great of a friend as I thought he was.  Also, I quit! I did it and I quit ShopKo! My last day was February 22 which was great!  I love, love, love having my nights to myself and being able to spend them however and with whomever I want it the greatest part of my life recently.  I have made a few new friends in my singles ward which is such a great blessing.  They are Blair, Colin, and Olivia.  Olivia I have known for a while, but we just recently started truly talking.  Colin and Blair are funny!  They make me laugh and include me in activities as much as they can.  I am truly blessed to have them in my life and I think I like one of them ;) bet you can't guess which one...(if you truly do want to guess, comment below)!

I've been doing a lot of thinking recently about my future, mainly about my career, and it scares me.  Now it's not being a teacher and having to teach 30 or so kids that scares me, it's the uncertainty of not knowing when I will get a job.  Will it be for this next school year?  Or will I be stuck as a substitute for next year?  That is scary and I'm afraid to just be stuck in a rut where I go from class to class each day.  I want at least a few things in my life to be stable and consistent, it would be nice if a job was one of those things.  Anyway, we'll see what happens and I'll let you know! 

Well, It's February

Well, I've written once a month so far and I would say that is pretty good.  The most wonderful thing I have today is that I got a long term substitute job that starts in the middle of March!  It is for a 4th grade teacher who is having her baby, and instead of taking the normal 6 weeks off, she is taking 11 weeks off!   I am so excited to have one classroom to deal with and one group of 30 instead of it being a new class everyday, it get's old.  This means that I will be able to feel more confident about quitting ShopKo.  I just have to gather my courage and give my two weeks notice... this is a scary thought for me.  I also have made a wonderful new/old friend, although I wish he would be more than my friend ;)  But with time we will see how that goes and who knows, maybe I'll have a Valentine this year?  With all that is going on with everyone else I feel like I should have more to say, but I don't.  That's all for this week (or month) ;)

The Beginning Of A New Year!

"It's a new day, a new start." Sorry again that I don't write often... Well that's a New Years resolution, write here more often. I have officially graduated from Utah State University and am an official teacher! I finished my student teaching on December 5th and I loved every minute of it! I was in a fifth grade and third grade classroom for my two blocks of teaching. I was so blessed to have such wonderful cooperating teachers who were understanding and very willing to help me with the things I didn't understand. My students were also very patient and loving as I was learning new ways to teach them. I truly miss all of them and hope to visit soon.

I am still working at ShopKo and hope to only be there for another month or so. I am also a substitute for Jordan and Canyons school districts and I am having a great time wih the many assignments I have received. It is hard to work 8 am to 11 pm, but we gotta do what we gotta do.

At church I attend the singles ward which is not Bly favorite place to be. I don't always feel welcome or like I belong there... I try to. Be social and go to activities, but it is hard when you don't have friends in your ward. I am the organist and I am starting to enjoy that a little now that I am less stressed about school work.

My New Years resolutions forth is year are to blog more often about my life, start saving my money, be a healthier person, be more social and outgoing, be closer to Christ, and to let things from my past go ( I don't need them holding me back). It will be a long and hard process to accomplish these things, but I will be a happier person in the end.
