Question?

2006-03-15T19:36:00.000-05:00

I am having a problem becoming an adult. I'm not sure how to go from the student to the teacher. I'm okay with the kids, I can be their teacher. It's the other teachers. I have looked at them for so long as my supriors. How do I look at them as my equals? I don't know how to address them as people on my same level. I feel like the kid at the grown up party, even though I am older than some of them! It is as if they are part of the club and I am crashing the party.

Growing up is hard to do...

BTW...

2006-03-06T21:11:00.000-05:00

We met the parents this weekend. Everything went really well. Tom Tom and Aunt Juan liked him. That was all I was worried about. Thank God.

I got a job!!!!

2006-03-06T20:31:00.000-05:00

I am happy to announce that I got hired today as a teacher at Meadowcreek. I am very excited that I will finally have a REAL J-O-B. YEA!! I will be teaching second grade. It is amazing how God works. I was pretty upset when I got placed at Meadowcreek for student teaching, but look how wonderfully it worked out! I guess He knew that I was supposed to be there.

Long time...

2006-02-28T18:21:00.000-05:00

Man it has been a long time since I posted anything. Sorry bout that. I guess I've just been too damn happy!!!

Life is good. I found a great guy who likes me a lot. He is so easy to talk to. If I ever have any concerns, he is so willing to discuss them with me it is unreal. Sombody pinch me. I finally have found an adult relationship where we don't have to play any games. How refreshing. I know he cares about me as much as I care about him. Its amazing how helpful honesty can be. We have only know each other for six weeks and I know him so well. Even more amazing than that, he knows me too. I can be myself and I don't have to compromise myself. We are also making plans for the future. It is so comfortable and exciting and...familiar. I see great things in the future.

School is great too! I can't believe that graduation is almost here. Only two more months. I know it will go by so fast. I also think that I might have a job offer. I don't want to say too much, but I am keeping my fingers crossed. Its a great school with grat teachers. Say a prayer.

I love ya'll. I'll try to post more often. I just cain't heylp it! I've been so happy!!

Happy Valentine's Day

2006-02-14T16:30:00.000-05:00

So...he sent me flowers at school today. I was so shocked. He is so sweet and thoughtful. I love surprises!!! I hope everyone had a great love day.

Love ya'll,
So happy I think I am going to be sick!

Can you believe it?

2006-02-07T21:07:00.000-05:00

I can't believe that things are going so well. I never imagined that this would have started so well. He is so nice and warm and funny. He makes me laugh and he says sweet things that tell me that he cares. We have so many things in common. PLUS, I like him as much as he likes me. I am counting my blessings. Thank you God for the door that you have opened for me.

to be or not to be...

2006-02-02T06:24:00.000-05:00

When do you know when to let go and when to hold on. If you let go, the results can be unbelieveable, but it can hurt. If you hold on, you might miss an opportunity. I don't want to put myself in a position where I am too exposed. I'm on the edge of a cliff and I can either jump, or run away. What to do? Jump or run?

19 hour date?!

2006-01-29T18:39:00.000-05:00

Can you believe it? It was really a great date. He actually planned things for us to do and we didn't have to play the game of "what do you want to do? I don't know, what do you want to do?" It was very refreshing. I think he is coming back tonight. I hope I can get to bed at a decent hour. Probably not.

19 Hours to go!

2006-01-28T00:12:00.000-05:00

So our date is today! I am really excited. I hope I can sleep tonight. I'll let ya'll know how it goes. Love you!

Already?

2006-01-25T16:27:00.000-05:00

So...we haven't even had our first date and he has already asked me out for our second! He asked me to go the a company function in March. Is he planning ahead? When I asked him about this, he said that so far the signs have been excelent that things will still be going well in March. I said yes. I love it when you have something to look forward to. The anticipation is the best part.

I felt like I was going to pass out this morning. Remind me not to donate blood and then forget to eat dinner. Not a good combination.

Great conversations...

2006-01-23T06:35:00.000-05:00

I know ya'll are probably sick of hearing about this, but we had a great conversation last night. We talked about relationships, living with boyfriends/girlfriends, what we thought of each other before we talked the first time, what we thought about after we talked the first time, and how everyone in our lives thinks we are getting married. I am looking forward to our date on Saturday. I even cleaned my house because he is coming to pick me up! This will be the first time that ever happened.

Excited, yet cautious, in Loganville.

well...

2006-01-22T09:30:00.000-05:00

I guess if he keeps calling and he has seen several pictures of me, he must still be interested. He also sent me two more pictures. He looks different in all of the pictures I've seen. I woke up this morning at 8:30 and I couldn't go back to sleep because I was thinking of him. Thank you God for good phone conversations.

Sleep.....what's that?

2006-01-22T03:10:00.000-05:00

I'd better get used to only a few hours sleep if this keeps up. I hope I can make it to church in the morning...I mean later. So, he told me he would teach me to drive the big truck! How exciting. I wonder how it will compare to driving a firetruck? What starts with F and ends with uck? Firetruck, silly. For all of you people out in radio land...goodnight.

Its a Date.

2006-01-19T23:18:00.000-05:00

He called me again. This time he asked me to go out. YEA!!!!!!!! We are going to a comedy club to laugh our asses off. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I hope we have a good time.
Love ya'll

Hello...........hello?

2006-01-18T22:10:00.000-05:00

No phone calls today. On one hand, its a really great thing, on the other hand, I just want more. How do boys know how to leave you wanting so much more? I think that they must take a class or something. In the beginning, its really nice. I hope that feeling last.

Bye to my peeps. Love to masses.

Routine

2006-01-17T23:37:00.000-05:00

This has become our routine. We talk about stuff for hours. I want to just talk all night but I know I must get some sleep. I wonder where this is going? I think the worserest thing I could do is to over analyse it so for now I will just say hey man, nice shot.

Life is a highway..............

Is he crazy?

2006-01-17T18:53:00.000-05:00

After the message I got from him last night, I thought it would be a while before I heard from him again. No such luck. He has called me twice tonight with the same old song and dance. I am at my wits end. He is not getting what he wants and he can't stand it. I want him to leave me alone but he won't. I am to the point that I want to say don't call me again, but I think that would make the situation worser! What to do?

Gone crazy in Loganville.

Again

2006-01-17T06:27:00.000-05:00

So, he called me again. We talked several times today. He is very goofy, but not stupid goofy. I almost stayed up too late again, but I was able to tear myself away about 11:30. What happens if we make a great connection on the phone but when we meet, one or both of us is not attracted? That would suck.

I had another episode with the ex last night. He acts foolish. You should hear the voicemail that he sent me. How many times and in how many ways can I tell him that its over and he needs to move on? Any suggestions?

Good?

2006-01-16T02:00:00.000-05:00

So, when a new boy calls you and you talk to him for six hours about everything, is that a good sign?

Alittle bit of this, a little bit of that.

2006-01-12T21:14:00.000-05:00

I love a great sale at old navy.
I hope Will is having a good time with M-I-C-K-E-Y.
I'm exausted already an it is only the first week!
Mistakes are funny. You keep making them until you learn your lesson.
Tomarrow if Friday the Thirteenth. I think that would be a great day to get married!
Only 121 days left!
If I never call you back, that might me a sign.
I'm tired. Night, night.

good start

2006-01-10T22:46:00.000-05:00

So, today was a good start to my student teaching. I think I will get along with my teacher and the kids seem great. There are only 17 children in the 2nd grade class. This could workl out just fine.

new beginnings........

2006-01-09T22:54:00.000-05:00

I start my student teaching tomorrow. I am nervous. I hope they like me. Wish me luck!

Deep Thoughts.................

2006-01-07T22:44:00.000-05:00

What do you think it means when they tear down the only house in your neighborhood? Is it a good sign?

I hate when you get a flat tire and you are supposed to be somwhere and you have to change it by yourself and its not even one of your bald tires and you have to buy a new one. That gets on my nerves.

Student teaching starts on monday. I nervous. I hope I like my teacher and my class. I need some prayers.

Grandmama is real sick. She needs prayers too. And phone calls and visits.

Question????????

2006-01-05T21:21:00.000-05:00

When someone tells you that you are being"f**king high and mighty," is that a complement?

Please....make it stop!!!!!!!

2006-01-04T01:10:00.000-05:00

I can't go to sleep because every time I try, I say "I'll just check everything one more time." Then, someone has posted something and I must respond, then I must check again. I think I am developing computer OCD. I had to make myself NOT sign up for myspace today because I would never get any sleep if I had that. Somebody please help me. Is there a group to join? A medication I can take. I'm addicted!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time

2006-01-04T00:25:00.000-05:00

At first I thought that technology was created to save you time. Now I have finally realized it only takes up your time. Odd.

Waiting.....and waiting......

2006-01-03T12:10:00.000-05:00

........and waiting. We waited for trains, the ball to drop, the best dessert in the world, planes. You name it, we waited for it!I think we spent more time waiting than we did acctually doing stuff. But it was all worth it!!

Yesterday was a day for transportation. I rode on a train, a boat, a bus, a plane, and a car! Thats a lot of different ways to transport yourself!

I wish they would open a Seredipity in the ATL!

Now I am addicted to facebook. Just one more thing to take up time and keep me from sleeping. It really is fun. Time flies when you are on facebook, not when you are standing in Time Square for 12 hours!

I missed all of you. Love you!

Happy New Year!!

2006-01-01T10:26:00.000-05:00

New winter coat from Old Navy....................$35
Fuzzy boots to keep my toes warm.................$50
Cool 2006 sunglasses..............................$4
New york pizza at 1:00am...................................$15
Standing in Time Square for 13 hours with a million people............Priceless
(Cause you couldn't pay me to do that again!!!!!!!)

Well......we got there at noon. It rained, sleeted and snowed on us. We couldn't use the bathroom, it was really cold, and we didn't have much to eat and nothing to drink. Not to mention that we got caught in a mob of people that we were lucky to make it out of alive. We had to walk long ways, we got pushed around but strangers, and we almost missed the whole thing. Then when we were getting on the train to go home, we got squashed onto an already full train by some angry New Yorkers. At least we wern't in Japan where that happens everyday. Overall, it was the BEST bad experience that I have ever had!!!

I think I will write a book called "The Dummies guide to New Years Eve in Time Square." Here is a list of things I learned:
You don't have to get there until about 3:00 pm.
You can (and should) take a backpack with food and stuff.
You should have a rain coat with a hood and an umbrella.
A small fold up chair comes in very handy.
Take your digital camera.
Don't listen when the cops say you have to walk around the block.
If you can hold it, start drinking early!
Take your friends, but only the tough ones who won't complain a lot (because it is miserable!!!)
Bring cards.
Play lots of games to make the time go by faster.

I had a great time dispite all of the bad stuff that happened. I hope 2006 is an exciting year for me. Well....I must get ready to go iceskating with the girls. See ya'll later!

It's snowing!

2005-12-31T10:13:00.000-05:00

We woke up to snow this morning! It was so hot in the apartment that we had to sleep with the windows open! We are getting ready to go to time square. I'm so excited!!! I hope we can find a bathroom somewhere. Wish us luck. See yall next year!

hey peeps...

2005-12-29T23:52:00.000-05:00

Happy New Yaer. Expect a call on Saturday from your sisters. Peace out.

I passed!

2005-12-29T23:46:00.000-05:00

I got the results of my Praxis II test today. I passed with flying colors! Yea for meeeeee!!!

New York!

2005-12-28T22:40:00.000-05:00

I'm so excited about going to the big city! Only one more day! This is going to be so much fun!

Sugarland

2005-12-27T11:19:00.000-05:00

I need a little less hard time, I need a little more bliss….....It’s not goodbye, it’s hello….....In the moment that one thing ends, is the same time that one begins….....What I’d give for an address on easy street….....All your gonna see is asses and elbows….....I wanna be so close to heaven I see angles….....Got to slow down, if you don’t, you’re gonna break down….....Sometimes the thing you need most is right there, but you can’t see it….....You’ll know just the moment when I’ve had enough….....What don’t kill you makes you stronger………......I waiting for my chance......... I'm gonna break away!

You woke me up!

2005-12-27T10:52:00.000-05:00

Last night I had the opportunity to resolve some things with the fiery ex. We talked for hours and it made me feel better about myself. It validated some of my feelings and let me know that it was not my fault and I didn’t deserve anything that happened while we were together. He actually said that I never did anything that he should have been mad at and it was all his fault. (He also said that the was still in love with me, but I ignored that part!) Overall, it was a great conversation

The only bad part was that this conversation happened in the parking lot at work. You know who was working next door and just happened to see us sitting in the big red truck. It was not my intention to hurt his feeling or make him jealous. I was simply talking to “a friend”. Why should anyone get jealous over that?! I am not even with anyone. The only person I have to consider is myself. As long as I am comfortable with the situation, everyone else should be too. Right? So why did he call and wake me up this morning? It was almost like the roles were reversed. He was telling me that I hurt his feelings by talking to big red. He was hurt and upset and he felt like a fool. AHA! That is exactly how I felt when my boyfriend, who is supposed to love me, went on a date with another girl that he has a crush on! He actually said that I couldn’t see it from his point of view!! Can you believe that? He stole my material!!!!!!!!

I never did this to hurt anyone. I just needed some closure for myself. I don’t have a responsibility to anyone. We broke up!

Isn’t it ironic, don’t ya think? A little too ironic……..

The past...

2005-12-27T01:26:00.000-05:00

Sometimes…someone from your past comes back. They apologize for the way that they treated you and you know that they are sincere. It really warms your heart to hear that they learned to be a better person from the experiences that they endured with you. It’s nice to know that really good things can come from really bad experiences.

Love is very strange. There are people in the world who are in love with you right now and you don’t even know it. Then, there are people that you want to be in love with you, and they don’t know it. It is truly amazing that anyone ever finds someone that they love and that loves them.

Christmas...

2005-12-25T21:30:00.000-05:00

I have been dreading this holiday for a while. I thought that it would be sad because I have been sad for a while now, but I had a great time! I got a lot of wonderful and thoughtful gifts from everyone that I love. I think I might even have a new tradition(as if we need one) with my sissy! We decided if you make it, it's a lot better However, the greatest gift that I recieved was spending time with the people that I love and that love me! I also found a little bit of hope for the future. Life can bring you down a lot of the time, so when you can celebrate the gift that God gave us with people that you love, it can fill you with renewed joy. I have to return to life tomorrow, but maybe the sun will shine and people will be kind.

Thanks for everything!

Hey ya'll

2005-12-24T23:02:00.000-05:00

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Howdy Partner

2005-12-24T00:30:00.000-05:00

I cut Will's hair. It looks great. Whitening your teeth kinda taste wierd. The Christmas Spirit is hard to find, but if you can find it, it can be really fun.

Party with the girls!

2005-12-17T00:44:00.000-05:00

I just got home from my Christmas party with the girla from school. I had a GREAT time. I love those girls! They rock and so do you!

I'm Done!!!!!!!!!

2005-12-14T22:30:00.000-05:00

I have finally finished this looooooooong semester! I don't think I could have made it one more day. See ya'll on the other side. Peace out.

Yeah!!!

2005-12-06T19:28:00.000-05:00

Only two days left! I cant wait for this semester to be over. I had a terrible day at school today. I'm glad its over! Especially since I hurt my back again when I fell down a flight of steps at work the other night. How did I get such bad balance? Thanks Dad!

Hello!

2005-12-04T23:07:00.000-05:00

Hi to all my peeps. Merry Christmas. I love ya'll!

Changes

2005-12-04T22:58:00.000-05:00

Sometimes the most important thing you can do in life is recognize your falts and do something to change yourself. Ignoring the truth is not helpful. If you don't like the way life is going, do something about it.

Thanks

2005-11-28T23:11:00.000-05:00

Thank you for the flowers and the trees!

Stop crying!

2005-11-27T23:51:00.000-05:00

Just stop crying and do something. Tears don't work anymore.

BTW...

2005-11-26T23:47:00.000-05:00

I am highly qualified!!

Satruday Nights

2005-11-26T23:41:00.000-05:00

I had a great time tonight. All my peeps were in the house representin'.

As I was driving home, I began to miss the familiar. Today is the first day in a long time that we have not spoken to each other. My brain is still mad but my heart misses him. I wish things could be different. I pray that God will see me through to better days.

Days like today...

2005-11-25T23:16:00.000-05:00

I am having a really rough day today. I don't want to go back to school, I don't like my job, my boyfriend is making me sad, and a cop yelled at me on my way home. Could things get any worser? Wait...I don't want to know. I also missed dinner with Willie Wonka. I hope to see all of you at Tom and Juan's tomorrow night. I love ya'll.

A wrinkle in time saves nine!

2005-11-18T22:05:00.000-05:00

I love my friends at the Waffle House. We always have a great time. It is going to be sad when we have to go to the new one.

School is almost over. I can’t wait to graduate! Well, I must get some rest for my test tomorrow. I want to look good incase the test giver is cute!

BTW....

2005-11-17T21:08:00.000-05:00

I am taking the Praxis II on Saturday. It's my certification test. I haven't studied. Oh well! I hope I pass. Wish me luck.

Love and Hate

2005-11-17T21:00:00.000-05:00

How can you love so much but hate at the same time. I don't know how to let go. I know that I deserve better but how do I get over it. If anyone has any has any suggestions, let me know!

I had fun!

2005-11-11T22:42:00.000-05:00

Thanks for going to dinner tonight. I had a lot of fun with all of my peeps. Love ya'll!

Long Time, no blog.

2005-11-06T22:33:00.000-05:00

So...its been a while since I hae written. Ive just had a lot going on. Plus, my back has been killing me. It's hard to sit at the computer.

Life hasn't been going well. Ihurt my back and it isn't getting better. Also, my boyfriend made some really bad decisions that hurt my feelings. I don't really know if this can be fixed.

Love ya'll.

Thank you!!

2005-10-24T22:56:00.000-05:00

Thanks to everyone for a great birthday. I had a good day today. See ya'll soon.

WebQuest

2005-10-24T22:49:00.000-05:00

Today at school I learned how to create my very own WebQuest. It seems like a great tool to use in my classroom. I have not gotten very far on it, but I hope to use it for my PTLS at the end of this semester. Wish me luck!

BTW, will the end of this semester ever get here?!

Happy Birthday to me!!!!

What...

2005-10-20T22:19:00.000-05:00

What am I doing? Where am I going? Where have I been? Life keeps moving on. What will happen next?

Rock Eagle here I come!!!

2005-10-20T18:39:00.000-05:00

I'm off to Rock Eagle tomorrow! I can't wait. I hope the rock shaped like an eagle doesn't disappoint me!

Angels

2005-10-18T22:51:00.000-05:00

So...I must have an angel out there watching out for me. I have recieved blessings that I thought I didn't deserve.There are some really wonderful people out there who will take care of you when you need it most. I fills up my heart to know that people care about me and want to help me through the tough times. Thank you to all of my friends.

Sometimes it just doesn't add up...

2005-10-18T01:55:00.000-05:00

So...I just finished this math project. It was a lot of work. I'm not even sure if I did it right. Do you ever think you know but your not quite sure. I feel that way a lot. I've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.

I can feel the VIBE!

2005-10-15T00:11:00.000-05:00

Can you feel it?

When it rains it pours!

2005-10-10T23:13:00.000-05:00

Well...I feel like I just can't catch a break. Tonight at work my transmission started acting up. It just wont shift properly. I don't know what is wrong with it but I sure don't want to have to buy a new one! If any one out there knows a magic fairy or has a genie in a bottle...not the song, an actual bottle with a genie in it...please let me know.

Happy birthday to me.

Signed,
Frustrated in Loganville

Haircuts

2005-10-07T01:26:00.000-05:00

Haircuts are now $5. I'm saving for a plane ticket!

Do you have gas?

2005-10-07T01:24:00.000-05:00

I was on my way to school this morning when I got a phone call. It was a friend of mine telling me that there was a gas leak at the school and we were supposed to meet at Meadowcreek High School. I got to the high school shortly before the kids started arriving. We had to sit in the gym for more than two hours with hundreds of children. It was a strange day to say the least!

BTW, I'm am applying to do my student teaching overseas. I might have the chance to spend a month in China! Wish me luck!

Film strips...

2005-09-30T01:46:00.000-05:00

ROCK!!! The kids loved the film strip about Harriet Tubman. The lesson was a success!

I'm newww! I don't know what to doooo!

2005-09-30T01:38:00.000-05:00

I went to check my blog today because I am addicted to it, and it said it was down and I couldn't see any of my postings! I became very sad. This had never happened to me before. I wasn't sure what I should do! I came back now and everything seems fine.

Why is the time always wrong on this thing? I have to change it every time!

Are we going to Chili's for dinner tomorrow?

San

Today....

2005-09-28T19:31:00.000-05:00

Today I went to school and I was very tired. Then I had to teach some kids some stuff. I hope they learned what I was teaching. We did some math centers that had to do with place value. It really was a lot of fun. They got to play Memory with numbers. I don't remember doing anything that fun in math. I have to teach a lesson tomorrow about slavery. We are going back in time to the 1970's and 80's to watch a film strip. Incase you don't know what a film strip is, it is pre video tapes. They are ancient!
Wish me luck!

What?!

2005-09-26T18:42:00.000-05:00

I didn't mean to post that twice. I guess I just really hate working!!

I just figured out that both of my brothers have blogs too! I was reading some of the stuff on Brad's blog and I didn't really understand some of it. I guess I'm getting too old! And what does Noobish mean anyway?

All the Hits Q100

2005-09-14T22:57:00.000-05:00

The Bert show on All the Hits Q100 has been doing a back pack drive to benefit all of the new students in Georgia who were displace by hurricane Katrina. The radio station wanted to do something for the victims , but they were not sure just what to do. Throughout the suggestions of the listeners, the Bert show decided to help the students by giving each new Georgia student a backpack filled with supplies and a gift card to buy new school clothes. I was very interested in this cause because it combined two of my favorite things, students and school supplies! I decided to help out by taking some supplies to the drop off site at Stonecrest Mall. While I was driving the $20 worth of school supplies that I had purchased to the mall, I heard on the radio that they were in need of volunteers to help sort the supplies that they were receiving. I felt compelled to help so when I got to the mall I asked if they still needed help. I ended up staying for about two and a half hours. I worked in the heat and sweat my you know what off and it felt great! I really think that volunteering for just a few hours helped me more than I helped anyone else. I really fell a sense of pride that I was able to help out such a worthy cause!

Look what I learned!!

2005-09-13T08:51:00.000-05:00

Today I learned how to make a blog! I didn't even know what a blog was before this class and now I have my own!! This could be a great way to share information about what is going on in my life. I could also use this blog to share educational information with my classmates and even with my students(one day!).

Check back with me and I will let you know what is happening!
