1) Ashland application is all done, they're just waiting on my high school transcript to prove I'm not in high school and have my ACT scores on it so I don't have to worry about any testing. Thank god I got a 21 which was the bare minimum for Ashland. Woohoo!

2) My "life plan" for Ashland has been made. I get to take Ohio History through LCCC this summer (yeah...I won't have free summers anymore but luckily this is only one and it's online! :D) I'll have the Early Childhood Education Bachelor's (which covers Pre-K through 3rd grade) the 4/5 endorsement (which will allow me to cover Pre-K through 5th grade) and the reading endorsement.

3) We're in the field every semester. So not only will I be hacking at 18 credit hours, 5 classes and work 20 hours a week I will also have anywhere from 50 hours to 150 hours per semester at a school. HOLY SHIT. People go through hell to become teachers.

4) My student teaching started Monday. I'm in the LCCC Children's Learning Center Monday-Wednesday from 8:30am-12:30pm. I freaking love it. The kids are so awesome. I've only been there two days and I've already received tons of hugs. It's amazing how accepting children are of everyone. They just accept you and love you for who you are. Why can't everyone be more like children?

5) This year is going to be HELL. I'm already sensing it. I'm constantly just going going going 13 hours of the day. I really don't even have time to eat so I'm chugging water like crazy.

6) My sleeping schedule from now until finals week will be 11pm-7am. It's actually the perfect amount of time for me. I was surprised how much I don't have a problem with getting up at 7am.

7) I stopped at the grad fair on campus today. They're all "Are you graduating this spring? Congratulations! Have a bottle cozy!" How come I didn't get so many congrats and random free things for graduating high school? I thought that was very interesting. I met a guy who's really active in community service for LCCC and we just randomly started talking about farmville. FARMVILLE! Seriously?? I think that's going to make me laugh for awhile.

8) 320 days til Walt Disney World.

9) My online class Social Issues in Education just started yesterday. My cooperating teacher for student teaching, is a fellow classmate to me in this class.

10) OMG I WANT MORE WATER!
