rearranging

I am one of those people that constantly likes change! I have finally rearranged my dorm room and I love it now. There is more space and it feels a lot more homey. I hung up my paintings and brought some pictures from home and will be hanging those up soon too. I did laundry and my room is spotless. That is except my roommates half of the room. I try to just ignore it because I could have worse problems. Trying to stay positive since I still have a whole semester left to live with her!

overwhelming

I try very hard to stay on top of all my school work but sometimes things get put off. It is hard to believe that the end of my first semester at college is almost over. I have so many projects, presentations, exams, homework, and papers due within like 3 weeks! I am spending my sunday doing homework, no better way:) On the bright side, I finished the book Next by Michael Crichton. I am surprised to say that I actually enjoyed the book. It was a fairly quick read and it was interesting even though I am not into genetics.

Thanksgiving break

I am looking forward to Thanksgiving Break. I cannot wait to spend time with my mom and dad, my brother, his girlfriend, and Jax, my boyfriend Ryan, and both of our entire families. I cannot wait to eat a home cooked meal instead of this cafeteria food. I want to sit around and watch movies and just have fun with my friends from home. The home sick stage may finally be kicking in for me. I am sick of this dorm room. IT IS SO SMALL. My roommate and I have so many awkward moments because when we are in the same room we do not talk at all. We do not even say a word to eachother. I am excited to be away from this place for a while.

Education

I am in the process of writing my very first lesson plan. This is crazy and it makes me feel so grown up! This is one of the first steps to my career as a teacher. I plan to write a lesson on the Public Law 108-477 which will be planned around Constitution Day and or Citizenship Day. This is for my test in Foundations of American Education that is due on Monday. I plan to put a lot of effort in this lesson plan as I need to be very good at writing these!
