Changes.

Well, I can certainly say that this has been a very different semester than any I have experienced before. I am learning so much about how to be a teacher, and I can say that I love each one of those little first graders (even though they sometimes make me want to pull all of my hair out). Kids really do say the most random, funniest things, and that's one of the things that makes teaching so enjoyable. I learned last week that I have to start applying for teaching jobs in October. That's next month. I'm sort of freaking out at this point because I just can't believe that I am that close to applying for my job. My REAL teaching job. I really hope I can get something... I don't feel old enough to be doing this, and it's just nerve racking because at this point, I have no idea where my life is going to take me. Next May, after graduation, who knows what's going to be happening? This has really been testing me lately and I know that I need to put all of my faith in God and understand that he has a marvelous plan for my life. If He wants me to get a teaching job, He will provide one for me. I just wish I could get a sneak peak of what's going to happen so that I would be a little less nervous. I know more than ever that I want to be a teacher, and I also have a newfound appreciation for teachers. It is such hard work. I seriously want to fall asleep by 9 every night, which is very uncharacteristic of me. But, despite everything, it is my passion and I can't imagine doing anything else with my future.

That's all.
Peace out homeskillets ;)
