A New Week...

Today I started my internship, which in a way is part of my ECE 3661 class at school, which is classroom management. I have been placed at a Pre-K school for regular ed and also for students with special needs. Today was a good day, minus that I only got 5 hours of sleep because I have been used to staying up late. But I took a 15-30 minute worth cat nap, so that was nice and very well deserved. haha. =]

My to-do list is about 7 items long right now. I wrote my letter to my parents and now I'm almost done with my culture quilt for ESOL. Then I have to read in every single one of my classes and then finish up some math homework that is due tomorrow at 5:30. ACK! =/ But I'm almost done with that. I am not looking forward to this semester right now. I don't feel like I can get all this stuff done. But I guess like everybody is telling me, don't worry, trust God and everything. And I am trying to do it on my own, but I can't do it right now all my own and so I guess I am going to have to trust him and believe that everything will be ok. I'll post pictures of random things when I can.

This past weekend, I went to a wedding, and it was great. A very relaxed mood and just enjoyable. And I will try to post three pictures when I get them. Right now I'm off to finish drawing my last two squares of my culture quilt and then to color! yay! =]

Overwhelmed...Oh boy....

I am so overwhelmed with school and it is...THE 1ST OFFICIAL DAY OF CLASS FOR ME!! How horrible?!?! I started the education program at Georgia State and I knew it would not be an easy program...but I did not think I have have a tension headache on the first day of classes. I mean my 2 syllabi from my classes today are both 10-13 pages each!! O.M.G.!! Wow...
Then to top that off, I went to Wal-Mart to get some poster board and markers and I got back to the section and was talking to Garrett and I go, "OMG! I don't have my keys!!" Luckily, my sister came to my rescue and hadn't started on her way to church and she made a pit stop to give me my spare key! yay! =]

I think a lot of it is that I have these projects to do and there are like 6 for each class and I know that most of them have a later date...but it is still overwhelming thinking I have to do this all for one class...I am all ready for Christmas break...

Besides that, I am getting to know some people in my classes that I have not met before and some that I have had a summer class or spring semester class with a little better. With how Georgia State does their program, we stick together the rest of the 2 years of college, so that will be good. Maybe I will make some friends...haha! =] I am sad though because one of my friends that I made is in the traditional certification so I am not going to have any classes with her...='[

This weekend will be a busy one for me....I am babysitting and then I am going to my friend Jamie's wedding, even though she is already married but she got married down in Costa Rica, because that is where her hubby was (lucky...=]) and then she is having the States Wedding, which means that it will just make official for the U.S. And then I will be baby sitting a 14 month old that I have baby sat 2 times already and I am looking forward to it. She is a handful but a mostly calm baby. Then I have to do a culture quilt project for my ESOL class and then I'm looking forward to my music memior that I have to do...I have this blossoming idea in my head and I will post pictures of these projects as I work on them and get done with them.

I think that is all for today....I'll post probably sometime next week as I try and make progres...I have two more new education classes tomorrow and am already overwhelmed thinking about it and then I have to start my internship on Monday, the 24th...yay!

One week...

So I have one week until I start my fall semester. I am excited, but I am nervous at the same time. I don't know what is expected of me and so the unknown makes me nervous. Talking to my boyfriend we have both realized I have a BIG fear of the unknown. I am not sure as to why I have this fear or where it came from, but it definitely happened. haha. But I just need to keep my eyes on the goal and to keep asking for strength and not to be nervous. I think also some of it is that I will have to teach a lesson to Pre-K kids and I have never done this and then my supervisor for my group will be watching me and I am worried that they will say I am not a good fit to be a teacher.

Anyways..this past weekend was a great time and especially Saturday. My boyfriend and I did our all first day date. We drove up to Helen to go tubing down the Hooch, which is only supposed to take an hour and half from my house, but I think it took us 2 hours to get up there because we made 5 stops on the way looking for shoes to wear while tubing. haha. But once we got up there we changed and it was a lot of fun. I was a little mad at first when we started to go down the river because Garrett was not there with me next to me and the whole point was to go down the river together. haha. And there were plenty of rocks to get stuck on while going down the river...and because of all the people, a 1.5 hour trip down the river took like 2 hours. haha. But it was definitely teamwork and we made it and had fun laughing and being dorky at the same time. But there were some drunk people tubing and one of them said "I don't understand why we couldn't bring my cooler on the river...I'm pissed that I'm sober."I found this hilarious, but I guess because I was having fun and I just couldn't understand why you would want to be drunk going down the river. But I am definitely looking forward to September 12th when the Singles from my church are going tubing down Tocca River. Maybe it will be smoother. And I have one picture from when we were down tubing and cleaned up and walking around Helen. We went to a really cute little wedding chapel and I'll put more pictures up later, but here is one. Once his camera charges and he uploads them, I will get the others and post them. We both for our first time made a little picture strip and we only liked certain ones. haha. But it happens.

Anyways, that is the picture, and I think it is time for me to go to bed. I have to go get my last textbook for the fall semester. And also I found out that I have around 23 pairs of shoes which include flip flops. haha.
