Hello, hello. I'll skip the usual
complaints/excuses explanation about why it has been so long since I last posted. Fact is, I'm busy. Reality has hit me. Hard. I started my student teaching this month. Which means early mornings and an even earlier bed time. I feel like by the time I get home all I want to do is eat and go straight to bed. And that is usually about all I have time for. I can't imagine what is going to happen when I actually have to start planning lessons (which is next week). Sorry, I said I wasn't going to complain, didn't I....Honestly though, it has been really good to be back in the classroom. I've been in 5th grade for the last couple of weeks but I will be starting in 1st grade tomorrow. I could not be more excited about it! It is definitely going to be a challenging, but very rewarding 10 weeks. It that short time I will be done with school and hopefully lining up a job for the fall! You have no idea how badly I want to be at the point where I can finally be settled. Lately I've just had the weight of the world on my shoulders feeling like I don't have control over anything right now (finances, job, living situation, social life, ect.). I know it will all work out, but it's just that overpowering feeling that comes with the uncertainty of it all.
Okay this is quickly turning into a therapy session so in other news, I signed up for my first 5k today!! This was a goal I set for myself at the beginning of the year (don't ask me why!) It's just been something I've wanted to do. I have approximately 10 weeks to train so day one starts tomorrow :) I have a feeling I may be saying that a lot...seriously, guys. I am NOT a runner! Yet. (working on this positivity thing). So until next time, which should give you plenty of time, I encourage you to work towards a goal of your own.

well put that passing time to the best possible use.
