blahhhh

have i mentioned that i am student teaching with devil woman? my new daily mantra: "i can read. i can write lesson plans. i know how to fix a boo-boo. i am not an incompetent twit. i will be a teacher someday." ty is being very supportive and lets me vent when i need to which is nice, but i need a battle plan... the easy solution would be to discuss my concerns with my advisor, but she pretty much worships my cooperating teacher...

i will be taking the aepa tomorrow and really appreciated everyone's help and input on my last post. it is fun to have so many teachers in the family =) thank you.

also- i have been reading everyones posts, but haven't really been commenting lately...

kristin- dude. i didn't know you were going to hair/cosmetology school! thats rad. ty says hes glad cuz now he doesn't have to dye my roots like a gay anymore. haha
megan- juno totally ruled. me and ty both loved it. i hope the decorating is coming along nicely and i can't wait to see pics. you have very good taste.
elise- i love your kids' posts. i think my favorite was zoe talking about keeping her lamb clean with a lint roller. too cute!
monique- you go girl. and good luck with the water tower!!
merilee- i'm sorry about sid and your differing tastes, but i will say that your pictures are so cute =)
natalie- congrats on the potty training! and thank you for the pictures. ty and i really enjoy them
emily- happy anniversary! and sorry i missed you last weekend when you passed through...

help please.

after drying my tears over the death of heath ledger, i sat down to study for the aepa. I was doing great until I hit the social studies section. holy cow- which one of my professors was supposed to teach me about Confucianism? Byzantine Empire? Hellooo. I think I only got one or two questions right in that whole section.

Current teachers- how hard is this test? I'm totally freaking out. What should I study? My test is on Saturday. I'm thinking I probably should have started preparing before this week...




RIP Heath. Who can even study at a time like this?

not dead, just busy

me and ty haven't dropped off the face of the planet yet, but we are both super busy!

i started a new job at one of the busiest restaurants in town, Oregano's, and have really been enjoying it so far. It sucks having to close though because I don't get home til about 11.

I also started my student teaching last week after two district wide snow days. I am not really getting along wonderfully with my cooperating teacher, but I love the kids already! This teacher came highly recommended, but she has been teaching for 25 years or something and is really set in her ways, some of which I really don't agree with... but I guess if she's been employed for that long, she must be doing something right. She wants me to meet her at the school every morning at 7- I haven't woken up that early since high school! Needless to say, I'm tired pretty often.

Between work and student teaching, I haven't had much time for anything else so Ty is worked to the bone at our apartment and has probably been starving. He is a good sport though and hasn't complained about anything except for my alarm waking him up in the morning (its a loud version of Kiss "I was Made for Loving You"). We have found time a few nights in the last couple weeks to get together with some friends of mine which has been really fun.

Anyway- just wanted to let everyone know that we have not died, and when I have more time I'll post some cute pictures of us at Christmas time with our families and Catcher! =)
