Well howdee! I can't believe this! I'm actually blogging around midnight lol
My incessant need to fill these pages has been nagging at me again. Although, now that I'm laying here in bed with my laptop, staring at this tiny screen, words fail me. This is the second night in a row now that the sandman has left me off his delivery route. If I knew the number to his union I would call to complain. So, anyway, forgive my ramblings...
Yanno... I find it incredibly interesting that when life closes...slams... one door in your face how fast it is ready and willing to open another door for you. This conundrum has presented itself to me yet I'm slightly afraid to walk through that door. On one hand, I don't think I'm at all ready to take that next step in my life. To move on from the comfort I've known for a few years now and put the past behind me. On the other hand, I WANT to move forward. I see how happy my life could be and I feel in my core that I need to move forward, closing that door behind me. I can't decide what to do. Comfort in aloneness is familiar to me. No one can hurt me if there's no one there to do the hurting. But then again, It would sure feel nice to wake up in someone's arms again ( someone who isn't 7 and patting you in the head wanting a drink of water at 2 am lol)
ugh, nuff of that...
School is going decently. I've actually started enjoying all my classes! Speech has turned into a one man drama class. We're doing manuscript readings right now. She asked us to choose a children's book to read a bit of in front of the class. We have to tell why we chose it, use the different voices and what not. I've chosen the book The Pokey Lil Puppy! My brother and I used to fight over it all the time as kids. Our original copy had long since vanished and then two years ago while I was out Christmas shopping, I found a first printing of it and gave it to him as a gift. He hee'd and haw'd it, but about an hour later, I saw him in the living room by himself smiling at it as he flipped through the pages. *sigh*, Brothers... :)
Spanish is going great!!! I'm sitting at just 2 points below an A+. Mom's actually doing pretty good in the class too. She's catching on very well now, which is kinda sad, i was enjoying the comedy of listening to her try to tell me that she had to "take the autobus to the sink". Oh well, she seems to be having fun, so I'm happy for her.
Anthropology is even starting to catch my attention more. The teacher seems to be doing a section now that is interesting to her and she's kinda having fun with this one. We're studying early primates and early humans. Coupled with the information that a new discovery about the earliest Homo Erectus was announced today, it should prove the be an interesting discussion come next class period! ( ok, you got me.. i just wanted to say erectus lol )
Last but not least at all is my intro to educations class. I had a meeting with my student adviser the other day and was informed that I was accepted into the UNI/DMACC 2+2 program! Which means, I can get my Liberal Arts degree and my teaching degree all through the school I'm going to now and still get the accreditation certificate from the University of Iowa! FRAWR! Bad news though is that in my Intro to Ed class, we were assigned 40 hours of classroom observations.. which, I enjoy doing!... but i was doing them following an elementary art teacher and I was told that UNI only gives accreditation for math, science and lit. So... I have to spend the rest of my hours in a kindg class and in a 5th grade class. I'm still pretty excited though. The kids are great and I look forward to spending time with them. Oh, she also informed me that my Intro to Ed class wasn't really needed for my degree :/ WHY would that be?! Stupid... But I suppose, at least the teacher is BEYOND good looking!!!, super sweet and awesome to talk to.
Well, I'm sure there's about a million other things I could ramble on about, but I'll spare you. I'm sure half of you reading this now are already pulling your hair out over my typos and my atrocious grammar :D I'm off for now, maybe a nice long soak in the hot tub might relax me enough. pfft... i know, who am I joking? lol
Love to all!
