Plagues and Pestilence

I just took a test for that class. I'm not sure why I thought this would be a good idea, except that I thought it sounded pretty interesting and easy. Its interesting, but the professor only gives 3 tests for the whole semester. That means if you don't do well on those tests, there's no way you can get a good grade. Frustrating. The tests are hard, of course.

I'm positive that I have senioritis.

I'm pretty ready for this semester to be over. Excited about Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks. Very needed if you ask me, especially since we don't get fall break. At this point in the semester I feel like I all I want to do is get as far away from campus as possible. I'm trying to keep things in perspective though, also trying not to wish my last semester of classes completely away. I'm just excited about the year to come. Very exciting times.

I'm writing this blog post as the proud owner of a netbook mini. I got it last night. I pretty much love it. It fits in my purse. : ) Cutest thing ever.

Even though its raining today and everything is flooded and I had a huge worrisome test, and still more classes to go to, I guess I'll try to see the bright side of things. Mostly, I'm sitting here thinking, The Office is on tonight. And I'm writing this post in Oliphant Hall because my computer is now extremely portable. So its a good day.

These days are full.

Just today I decided that I'm alright with it not being summer anymore. It helps that I got my winter clothes from home. Having nothing warm to wear made me not ok with fall. Constantly being cold is one of the worst feelings ever.

Since I last blogged, I have successfully taught two lesson plans that I wrote all by myself. I have taught 3 actual classes. 2 first grade and 1 kindergarten - all general music. My professor came to observe me on Friday and said I was amazing. I can't believe I'm actually doing it! Very cool feeling. I just wish there wasn't so much anxiety building up to each time I teach a lesson. That is very stressful.

Nathan and I were talking yesterday about how our weekends are busier than our weeks, and how thats backwords. Really, we can't relax much during the week, and now on the weekends we are working pretty much the whole time. Then we sing on Sundays at church so that takes up half the day on Sunday, then Nathan works Sunday nights. I think we're both of the mindset that it's worth it, but that doesn't always make the day to day more bearable. Oh well, thats why we go to college - so that maybe we can get jobs that will give us the luxary of not having to live that way. : )

Nathan and I were going to Taco Bell last night and as we were leaving campus he looked over at me and said, "Grace, you're my dream girl, you know."

Mmmmm, life is good.
