I am so excited :)

For those who are unaware, I am 1 semester awat from graduating with my Master's degree and I am so excited about it!

My last semester is not spend hunched over a pile of books in the library writing my thesis vigorously... I get to spend my last semester in a classroom teaching students to read, write, and have fun! I am thrilled with this because that means that I am three weeks away from being done with classes and tests and papers :)

However, I am thrilled that I have been placed at the elementary school that I requested with the teacher that I requested! I am so excited!

Moral of the story: I am going into classrooms and teaching kids. I hope they can handle Ms. Roberts and my crazy ideas

The downside to being in school..

HOMEWORK! It could possible be the end of my very life this week. I cannot stand to write one more paper, yet I have 5 to write. No wonder they don't tell you how much is involved during the application process....

Moral of the Story: Stay away from Grad school unless you: a) want at least one year of having no life, 2) enjoy living in the real world with no sleep, or 3) just like migraines.
