2 more weeks of Provo!!

I just sold my contract today and it's sad to say, but I am leaving Provo December 19. I am graduating and plan to move to Arizona where my family is and find a teaching job there. I am sad to leave because all of my friends are up here, but I am sure I will make new friends and have lots of fun adventures with my family. Some of the fun times I have had in Provo include:
- Late night talks with roommates
- Hiking the 'Y' (In daylight and moonlight)
- Practical jokes that involve fish, peanut butter, canned peaches, light bulbs, hiding food in microwave/oven, dishwashing soap in dishwasher, and much more. :)
- Coming up with lame excuses to get out of dates
- Coming up with ways to get a certain boy to date me . . . not successful.
- Late night movies with friends
- Concerts!! (I have been to 6 this year).
- Laughing so hard that I cry. (I wonder if people cry from laughing so hard the tears just start flowing, or if it's because their side hurts so much from stomache compressions.)
- And many, many more Good Times!
Provo Rocks!

3 Weeks Left of Student Teaching

I can't believe I am almost done with my student teaching and college! I am all grown up. I am trying to find a job, but I don't know if I'll find one in the middle of the year. My teacher work sample passed, and my I had my TESOL exit interview this week . . . and I passed. The next three weeks are going to fly by and I'll be back in Mesa before I know it. :)

Student Teaching Day 4

Today one of the girls in the class told me that I wear too much eyeshadow and that I was putting it on wrong. Then, she proceeded to tell me how to put it on the correct way!! She's 10 and doesn't even wear eyeshadow. My eyeshadow is light and perfect the way I do it. :) These kids are testing my patience.

Also, one of the boys in the class told me that he wasn't going to do the assignment I had for him. I made him do it and when he found out it was for practice and not homework, he through a fit.

But, I still love teaching!

Student Teaching

I have started my student teaching. I am in a 4th grade classroom. Friday was the first day that I started teaching. It went well, except for I have a little boy in my class who is very disrespectful to adults and teachers. While I was giving my lesson he started making farting noises! I couldn't believe it. He's 10. I was so shocked. The other teacher took him into the hall and ripped into him. He, and the rest of the class, was good for me the rest of the day. I am alone with them on Monday for 30 minutes and I am horrified.

But, besides that, I am having a lot of fun teaching and I love it more and more each day I do it. Those kids are cute.

Oh, this message is for Laura Morton.
Hi! I am so sorry I didn't ever say anything back. I am horrible at keeping up with my blog but am trying to do better. Everyone is good in my family. Lyndsie is graduating from High School in April. Weird, huh? She's old. Kaylee is pregnant with her third child and lives in Tuscon with her husband and two kids. I am up at BYU finishing my student teaching. I graduate from College in December which is also weird. I am very old. And my mom and dad are still living in the same house, which I'm glad because that's home, and they are just playing and having fun . . . I'm sure. My dad is a real estate agent and my mom works 3 days a week as a nurse.

We would love to hear from you all. What are you up to? How's your brothers and dad? What's new? Tell me everything, I want to know!! :) Love ya.

BYU COUGARS!

I have officially applied for graduation. I am going to miss BYU, and I am glad for my experiences here. I am excited to be moving on to a real job, which is weird, but I am ready. I am going to miss school. Everyone is stressing trying to sign up for classes next fall, but I do not have to. It's a bitter, sweet feeling. I will definitely work on getting my masters degree, but will probably not receive it for another 5 years. You could say that I am somewhat successful graduating the school of marriage, single! What are the odds.
It hit me the other day that I only have one week left of college and I have not really lived it up because I have wasted the time studying. So, to make up for it I ditched my last day of classes and partied with my roommates, wore jeans to work to see what they would say, got a boyfriend (a fake boyfriend for one day), and stayed up most of the night trying to write my paper that was due the next day. This is how I should have been living for the last couple of years! I'm joking of course,and I will be gradating BYU with a 3.9 GPA. Yeah! It was all worth it.
