School is over! Woohoo!!!
No real news other than that. Tomorrow is my last day with the family I work for and I start my new job Monday at the daycare. This is hopefully the very last time I ever work at a daycare. I love children but I've been taking care of kids for over ten years! I really can't believe I'm old enough to actually stay that.
So three months with the kiddos at the dayschool and then no more "working" until I graduate. - That is: no more jobs until I graduate since next year I absolutely won't be able to. Methods, some remaining classes, and student teaching are definitely work enough!
My youngest cousin turned two years old! Where are all the babies? We need more babies!!!! (don't look at me though) :D

Winding down
I love that the semester is coming to an end. Of course, it is bitter sweet because I won't have my favorite class anymore. But the professor has asked that I stay in touch. She's been so helpful to me in my writing and supportive in general. Teachers like her are few and far between.
I am absolutely overjoyed that I never, ever have to see that English professor again. I am done with the class and know to avoid him. After all, I only have one more year of school left!!!! 14 months and I am done!!!!!
For now I have two more finals on Wednesday which kinda stinks. They are back to back and that only gives me a few minutes to refresh after the first one. The first one isn't going to be that bad. It's like any other test we have had in the class. My second one will be brutal beyond a shadow of a doubt. As everything has a silver lining - the good thing is, when it is over, I'm done. :) for two weeks.......
Yup, summer school begins. But I am almost positive it won't be too bad. Summer I is two education classes so not a lot of reading, just mainly hands on activities. Summer II is an online class and a history class. Online classes are almost always better. I do know the down side to this particular class is that the professor requires something every day. It's technical writing, not entirely exciting, but still....I think it will be fine. And it is only 4 weeks long - almost anything can be endured for 4 weeks. almost....
Well, that's all I have time for now. I have a study group I need to attend in a few minutes. This means poor Steven is left fixing dinner tonight. I prepared the meatloaf, ready to go in the oven and left detailed instructions on how to make the rice and green beans. I think he should be fine!!! He's a smart guy.

one more day.....
Well, there is only one more class day after today. How excited am I? I would be more excited if I didn't have 2 essays (both 6 pages) and a project (very major) to do before finals begin next week. But hopefully after Wednesday I will only have to worry about finals and no more papers before summer school starts. And actually, I won't have any papers in the first summer session because I am taking two education classes that are mainly tests and small projects. At least that's what I'm hoping.
I got some exciting news last week. I am not bragging but, I got a writing award! It's called excellence in writing. There will be a ceremony tomorrow and my work will be displayed with other student winners and faculty. I've never won an award for writing and haven't won anything in college at all. Except of course, my education but that doesn't count because I pay for that. :)
I'm trying to figure out what church meetings Steven and I can go to this summer. We didn't attend any last summer. Finances didn't permit and our family was going through a great deal of things. The issue is now, I'm just not as aware of them now as I used to be.
I would like to ask for some prayers for my Granny. She is suffering from shingles. I don't know much about this except that it's the chicken pox virus in adults and it's incredibly painful. She's so sweet and carries a great deal of burden already. Please pray for her speedy recovery.
Well, it's off to class for now....but for the second to last time. woohoo!!! I've made it to the end of the semester....almost!
