A New Year

Wow! It has been a very long time since I have updated this! It has been 7 months! I will try to keep everyone posted better! I only have 2 1/2 weeks left in this semester and I can't wait to have all of these group projects finished up! I had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed the time spent with my family and friends! I would add some pictures except I didn't take any while I was home! Well, I have to go finish my homework and get to bed!

The Midterm 411

Well,
It has been a while since I have updated my blog, but it is about time. We just passed the 7 week mark last week which means it is already midterms!!! Luckily, I did not have any midterm tests, but I did have one final. One of my favorite classes ever had to end :( It was only a 7 week class, but I learned a lot. It was Psychology of the Exceptional Child. I learned about children with disabilities, at risk students, and Talented and Gifted students. I also had one of my favorite professors ever! Now that the class has ended, I have picked up a second 7 weeks course which happens to be Lifetime Wellness. I also have been working in a 4th grade classroom every MWF afternoons. I love working with the students and the teacher is amazing! The kids absolutely adore him. So for those of you who were wondering, here is my new Schedule.

Monday: 9:00-10:05 Math
10:45-11:50 English (Intermediate Comp)
12:00-1:05 Lifetime Wellness Lab

HOME

WELL,
I saw many people while I was home last weekend. It was very busy with the basketball games, baby shower, birthday party, church and trying to see friends. I am sorry if I didn't get to see you. School is going pretty well so far. My classes are a lot of fun and I am learning a lot! I will be home again the last weekend in Feb! Well, I will try to keep you posted of everything fun I get to do! I start working in a 4th grade classroom next week every MWF from 12:30 to 3:00. I am very excited for that to start! I love working with kids! :)

The Lion King and FOG!

Well, this past weekend, I got to see the Lion King again on Broadway in Des Monies. It was another great show!!! The Lion King is my favorite movie of all time, and the way they do it on Broadway is amazing! It was a great show, but the drive back was no fun! It has been very foggy here for like 4 days! At times on the way back, I couldn't even see 50 feet in front of me! But, I made it back very late and still got to class on time on Monday! Yes, we did have class on Monday unlike everyone else! I also went down to Ceder Falls to see my friend Kelsey that I haven't seen since Sep 25th!!!!!!! Crazy, I know. We went and saw a movie and had a lot of catching up to do! It was a ton of fun! Well, since all the fog is still here, our trees look really cool! I took some pictures today! Its a nice winter wonderland, but I wish spring was here!

New Semester

Well,
The new semester is here. I am glad to be back, even though I miss hanging out with everyone over break. I had a great Christmas and New Years. I loved all the family events and even meeting the newest addition to our family, little Caedon. He is super cute!

Home for Christmas!

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that I survived finals! I am home now!!! Dad, Brian and I went and got the Christmas tree today, and we decorated it tonight. It looks very nice. Brian has been hard at work trying to fix my computer, but it isn't looking good :( I can't wait to see everyone over my break! I am home till January 10th! It is much warmer down here and a lot less snow. Our wind chill was down to -25 degrees on Tuesday! It was only 24 degrees when I left this morning up at school! See you all soon and have a great holiday season!

Last week of classes!!!

Well, this is my last week of classes this semester! YA! It is currently snowing here, and supposed to be blizzard like conditions tonight and tomorrow! Many of my professors mention not having class tomorrow which would be nice so I can take some time to relax along with do homework! I attended Christmas With Wartburg last Sunday with my roommate. It was a very good show, and it was snowing when we left to walk back. A friend and I went out and made snow angels after we got back to our dorm! I was in my pj's which consisted of a short sleeve shirt, flip flops, gloves and a scarf. It wasn't to cold, but a tad wet! I have finals next week!!!! I have one Monday morning, one Tuesday morning, nothing on Wednesday, and have to go talk about current events Thursday morning since we don't have a final but they aren't allowed to cancel class :( I also have one final this Friday because my professor won't be here next week! I should be home next Thursday! Can't wait to see everyone!
