November 2012

My last full month of being a college student concludes in just a couple of hours!  How crazy is that?!  I'm so filled with excitement, and I am currently not scared/anxious/frightened, or any other emotions that come with getting ready to take on the world.  I know those will come soon enough though...  This month has been incredible with a long list of highs!  :)

Lows:

• I lost my car in the parking lot this month.  It was embarrassing.  There were people around and I was the one who could not fake the confusion and practical despair I felt as I wandered around the lot.
• In August I was raving about loving my room.  Sadly, that has come to an end.  I had to reloft my bed for the last couple of weeks.  I now HATE my room.  It felt more like an adult room, and now I feel like I've regressed.  Only 2 weeks left!
• I faced rejection this month.  MAJOR rejection.  I went to go visit my beautiful cow in her pregnant state.  Ya know, just to go stroke her belly and whisper sweet nothings in her ear.  She literally ran away from me.  I was devastated.  :(
• My contact that was replaced is giving me trouble, and I really don't like it!

High:

• In August I mentioned that I left my Oreos and body wash in Brock's truck on the night he left for Texas.  Finally, I received a big box filled with body wash, Oreos, and packing peanuts.  Someone was rather proud of himself for all my trouble with the static filler.

• I finally have my placements all figured out for student teaching!  I've been e-mailing with my teachers the past couple days and have meetings all set up to meet them and see their classroom!
• Phase 2 has been going wonderfully!  All I have left is 2 days!  The students really got into our lessons the past couple of weeks over the Alamo, Oregon Trail, and Western outlaws!  These are my favorite topics and so I enjoyed it quite a bit as well!  :)

• I almost missed RSVP for graduation because I didn't know about it.  Luckily, I made it and I came back from Thanksgiving break to my graduation gown, cap, and tassel!  December 15th can't come soon enough!
• I had a wonderful weekend when I went to Strawberry Point and to Elizabeth's musical!

• This month I added 2 medium sized snow globes to my collection!  I got one from Texas and one from Beauty and the Beast!  :)

• I WENT TO SEE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!!!!!!!!!  

• I'm over half done with the Scratch Cupcake Tour!  I've got a lot of work to do in the next 2 weeks!

It has been an amazing month and so much has happened!  Here I sit in a room I will vacate forever in 2 weeks.  Here I sit looking at the shapeless gown I will don on for a couple of hours.  Here I sit knowing that my life will dramatically change in 2 weeks.  On the bright side, I can finally start listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas movies every night since I always hold off until it actually hits December!  :)
