"My Brother Eats Dog Food"

Oy! I will survive February.

1. My placement is going great. I teach my first lesson next Wednesday and I'm pretty excited about it. Today we celebrated 100 Days of School, which is something I definitely don't remember doing when I was in elementary school. But it was a great time. I'm learning how to create smartboard stuff which is pretty epic. Hopefully the kids think so too.

2. Classes are going well. Lots of work to be done but I've managed to keep on top of everything somehow and read a lot of books that I've been wanting to. Unfortunately the list is never ending. I think I finally found my all time favorite book, "The Tale of Despereaux". I'm not sure if it's because I read it after "The Bell Jar" so anything was a relief of the depression but I just love this book. I'm afraid to watch the movie though because I heard it's different and I don't want to ruin the magic of the pages.

3. Having my weekends free is FUCKING FANTASTIC. I'm surprised I hardly even notice I'm not going to work anymore. I'm a lot more careful with my money as well because I have a lot that will hopefully be happening this summer.

4. My room is slowly getting thoroughly cleaned. I realized that this is probably my last full year living at home so the more I get it clean now, the easier it will be when the moving out process happens. What a terrifying/glorious thought.

5. I cannot wait for it to be spring even though this winter has been freakishly awesome. The major lack of snow and the "let's stay in the 40's most of the time" idea is really working for me.

6. I was invited to join Kappa Delta Pi, the honors society for Education majors. I'm almost finished with the application process. Here's hoping I made it!
