3 Women and a Horny Dolphin

Whoa damn. Well it looks like I fell behind a whole month here and I only have Day 1 of New York done. Let's see if I can at least have the patience to catch up and do Day 2.

1. It seems as though every summer I get older, they just keep getting better. This summer I was busy with my online Ohio History class, work, seeing my friends a lot, shopping and trips. A lot of great memories were made this summer.

2. I'm 21 now! It took me until 2 days after my birthday to actually do anything about it.

3. Ashland classes from here on out. My first two weeks are finished and holy cow is there a lot of reading. I have so much to do this semester I'm trying to just do it instead of stressing about having to do it. After not even my first week I had my first mental breakdown just trying to figure everything out. This semester may be a challenge. For one, the grading scale is now different. In order to have an A in a class I have to at least have a 93%. Goodbye other 3%'s, you will be missed.

4. My professors are pretty awesome, except for the one I haven't had the chance to meet yet because she's in Italy until next week.

5. Within the first week I already had my first professional workshop.

6. Ashland classes are a lot different from LCCC. For one, we're already getting talk about Praxis tests and advice for when you're being interviewed for a teaching job. All within the first 2 weeks! Don't they know I still have 2 years left? I would rather have some understanding of all of this now instead of at the last minute so I can't complain.

7. I received my letter of acceptance into the College of Education so I am now officially an Ashland Education student instead of just an Ashland student. We're supposed to get pinned sometime soon.

8. My field experience is at Oakwood this year in a 5th grade language arts classroom. This is going to be so much different from my student teaching experience in the spring with preschoolers.

9. Megan and I went to Ashland's campus about a month ago and I did fall in love. While I could definitely see myself living on campus it just isn't for me nor for my budget at this time.

10. I've recently grown a love for baked beans. I've noticed I'm a lot more open to food now than I used to be.

11. Evan went back to school this semester. So far he's doing really well by which I mean he's actually doing his homework and attending class. He's finally growing up :)
