The End

Here we are. The end of the month. I am so very glad that we are finally here. I really do not even know what to say.

I am glad to be finishing up university soon. I just have 11 days left. I am not sure what to do besides to apply for teaching positions.

I did make a video today.

So enjoy if you would like.

Love ya,

Headaches

So I am not one who usually gets headaches but I seem to be turning into the person that does. I am not really sure as to why that is so but alas they come and I have one right now. It is not fun.

I also have found myself getting very tired at night and I have been waking up super early. My body has adjusted to my teacher schedule which makes me really sad since tomorrow I will not being going to the school.

Love ya,
Christina

Long Day

Now that I am done with student teaching, I wake up in my own at 6:30 in the morning.

Today was such a great day. We had our mentor teacher brunch. It was fun and I was able to give mine her gift. She really has been so great and I really am grateful to have had her as my final teacher.

Then it was time for my friend's bridal shower. It was so much fun spending time with all of my friends. They are great.

I found out today that my old elementary/junior high school is hiring elementary teachers. I would so love to work there so I am definitely applying. A couple of teachers are still there from when I went there so it shouldn't be too bad.

Love ya,
Christina

Now What?

I had my last of student teaching today. It really was so sad. The kids all day made me want to cry. They kept telling me how much they were going to miss me and how they wish I could stay forever. They really are so sweet. A whole bunch of them gave me little cards telling me how much they were going to miss me and want me to stay. But then we had to carry on with our day as usual.

Then when we had our planning time, my mentor teacher came out with a chocolate cake. I could not believe it. It was such a great thing. It was good to share it with my 2nd grade team. I really am going to miss all of them.

Then the end of the day happened. We were having a little party to celebrate my last day. I made them all cupcakes and little goodie bags with a note, a pencil, and some smarties. As I was passing them out, they told me that I was too sweet and kind and that they should be the ones giving me stuff. I was ready to cry at this point. They kept telling me how they were going to keep the pencil and the note forever to remember me. But then, my mentor teacher walked in with a big bag for me and told me it was from her and the class. I could not believe it. There are books in there, a planner, a pointer, and lots of other great stuff in there that I can use next year.

They really are the sweetest kids ever and I am going to miss them so much. I kind of wish my time was not over with them. I am planning on visiting them in a few weeks when they are going to do a presentation on what we have been working on. They do not know that yet so I told them that if they are good and do their work I will come and visit them.

Now excuse me while I go cry some more because I miss them already. It is so weird to me that I will not being getting up really early on Monday and driving there to teach and see them.

Love ya,
Christina

The End

Not of BEDA but of student teaching. Tomorrow is my last day and I am not ready nor are the students nor are the other teachers at the school. I have a feeling I might cry.

Love ya,
Christina

Almost

I really cannot wait for this month to be over. I have been so bad about remembering to blog everyday. I probably won't do this next year.

Love ya,
Christina

Forgetfulness

Yeah, I really need to remember to blog.

Well, I had my last class today. So all I have is to teach the rest of this week and I am done. Well I really am not teaching anymore. I really am just sitting there. But I am almost done!! It is kind of scary to know that I am almost done but I am also very excited.

I am also getting very excited for my party. I sampled cakes today for the party and I think I know which one I am going to go with. I will probably tweet a picture of it so pay attention to my twitter for that.

Love ya,
Christina

Failure is OK

I feel like every year in April and August, everyone wants to either vlog or blog every day. This can be great but sometimes you just get so busy to do so. I think back two years ago when I started and I was able to do it with no problem at all. Now I am so much more busy that I feel that I do not have the time to blog every day. I really enjoy blogging but I want to put our good blogs but I have not been able to this month. I even missed a day or two because I just have other things going on. Sometimes that happens. I will go a day without the internet. I may freak out to do so for a bit but it really is alright.

Love ya,
Christina

Headache

Yes. That is what I have and it sucks. I just want to go to bed now.

This week is my last week of student teaching. It is really is sad and exciting at the same time. We will see what happens.

Love ya,
Christina

Sorry

Yesterday was a huge fail. I went to go teach and then I went to babysit. I did not come home until 2 AM. I did not have internet all day yesterday so I did not have the ability to blog. I feel so bad about it but there was nothing I could really do about it.

Today was laid back after yesterday. I just went to the Astros game which was horrible because they lost so bad. I am so tired so I am going to bed now.

Love ya,
Christina

Updating

This is my life today. I finally decided to update to OS Lion. I know. Better late than never. I guess it is good since Mountain Lion is coming out this summer. Oh well.

Love ya,
Christina

Stress

It is everywhere and I am so bad about avoiding. As soon as I get a little bit, everything starts to pile up on top of it and it is no fun at all. I wish I could stop that but I don't think that I can.

In other news, one application done. Just a few more to do.

Love ya,
Christina

Almost

So BEDA involves writing a post everyday.

Anyways, my second graders are going to make me cry. I have come to the point where half the day I am in another classroom to see how that one is. That way we can see different grade levels and teaching styles. So in the morning I was in a 5th grade class. I was gone for like only 3 hours but when I came back they were all running up to me and hugging me. They were telling me how much they missed me.

I don't know what I am going to do next week on my last day. I am already planning on doing something for them cause I am just going to miss them so freaking much.

Love ya,
Christina

Traffic

Living in a major city means lots of traffic. I have been really lucky that my school starts early and end early so I get to avoid some traffic. I am also going the opposite way of the major flow of traffic so it usually is not that bad. Usually.

There still are those times when there is an accident and there is no avoiding it. Although if you are smart, you can avoid it.

Leaving school and heading to work, I saw a sign saying the freeway was closed ahead due to a major accident. I was lucky enough to edit my travel plans and was able to avoid it but there were lots of people who were not able to.

Turns out an 18 wheeler jumped the barrier and was on both sides so I can see why they just shut it down. I saw pictures and it looked so bad. I just hope everyone was ok.

Love ya,
Christina

Disney on Ice

That is where I went tonight. It was so freaking good. I can honestly say that Disney really knows how to do shows. Most of the people there were under the age of 10 but I still had a lot of fun. I am so glad that I went.

I know this is so bad but I really do not feel like writing about it right now. I really have some other things that I need to get done and then I want to go to bed since I have to get up early tomorrow to teach.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and they are ready for this exciting week ahead of us. I have two weeks left of student teaching. I feel like these next two weeks with be slow and fast. I am not sure if that really makes sense or not.

Love ya,
Christina

A Video for You to Enjoy

Friday the 13th

So this is one of those days where everyone is frighten. I just do not understand it. I guess I am a little bit like Harry Potter in that respect because I do not understand of being afraid of something that cannot hurt you. He was not afraid of the name Voldemort and I am not afraid of Friday the 13th. In all honesty, it is just like any other day of the year. There is no big deal about it.

In other news, I have 2 weeks lef of student teaching. My students are getting very sad about it. They told me today that they want me to stay for another 100 weeks. They really crack me up. I guess it is a good thing to know that they really like me. I am going to be so sad when I finish up in 2 weeks. The crazier part is 2 weeks after that, I AM GRADUATING FROM UNIVERSITY!!!! I really am excited about that if you cannot tell.

Love ya,
Christina

Blah

I am just not in the mood to really do nothing. I have a pile on my bed that needs to be put away. I am sure that everyone has that feeling. Then with my mum coming home and yelling at me to do it does not help that any little bit. I think I need to go to bed. First I have to put away my clothes.

Love ya,
Christina

Sick Again

This month really seems to be a fail between Easter this weekend and then me getting sick I keep forgetting. All I have to say is thank goodness for my iPod.

Today was crazy. I felt so bad that I didn't go to work after school today. That really didn't bother me cause I am really sick and I haven't taken a day off all semester so to me it wasn't a big deal.

Love ya,
Christina

SICK

I know it is super early but I just want to get to bed. I am just not feeling well right now so all I want to do is sleep. I was getting ready to do that when I realized that I need to blog and I really should stop because I keep making errors that I have to go back and fix over and over again. At least I hope I caught all of them.

Love ya,
Christina

Sun Burnt

I don't remember if I wrote this or not but I got sunburnt on Saturday when I went swimming. It is not as bad as it first was but it still hurts. It is on my shoulders and when I am teaching, those bad boys need to be covered up. Let me tell you, it hurts to have a shirt or a sweater on them. It has been hurting pretty bad but I could not take my sweater off cause I am wearing a tank top.

That is really it for it. So always wear sunscreen when you are outside.

Love ya,
Christina

Real Post

So the last couple of days have been crazy for me because it is Easter weekend and my brother and sister were home. I wanted to be able to spend lots of time with them so I kind of forgot about blogging until it was super late. But here I am today with a blog post before 11 PM. So let's talk about stuff.

Friday:
I went to the Astros home opener which was a lot of fun. This is the one game of the year that the stadium is super full of fans because we do not have a losing recorder yet. Do not get me wrong because I love my 'Stros so much but they do not have the best track record sense they have not gone to the play off since 2005. That being said, we did end up losing that game.

Saturday:
It was so nice outside that we decided to heat up the pool a little bit (it is still a little bit cold in the water here) to go swimming. It was a blast playing volleyball and just swimming in our pool. I love being in the water and I have missed it the last few months so it felt great to be in there. The only down side is that my shoulders are now sunburnt. I did put sunscreen on but I should have reapplied after I ate lunch but I didn't and now I am burnt.

Today:
Finally all caught up. It is Easter!! Which means lots of time with my big family which was great. I love my family so much and I really wish I had more time to spend with all of them but I really don't. You would think since we all live in Houston we would see each other more but we all have such busy lives. Anyways, we all ate too much food and laughed a ton so it was a great day.

It is too bad that I have to go back to teaching tomorrow since I really enjoyed my weekend so much.

Love ya,
Christina

Late Night

You would think I would learn but yet again here I am. At least it is before midnight today. My shoulders are red and burnt from the first swim of the year. It was and now I am paying the price.


Love ya,
Christina

Sorry

I totally forgot I am so sorry. I went to the Astros game today and got my toes done.

Love ya,

Christina

Fail

So I made an iPod video today and that was going to be today's blog post because it was like 7 minutes long and I talked about what was going on today and I just checked and it never uploaded and I don't feel like waiting to go and do it all over again.

If you want a picture of today, go to my twitter to see it. I was pretty horrible today. Glad I was barely alive in the 80s. I am also very glad to not have to teach tomorrow but it kind of has been throwing me off all day by thinking it was Friday today instead of Thursday. Oh well.

Love ya,
Christina

What To Wear

Is it possible for me to have nothing to say? Today has been long and tiring. This morning, I went to go make my coffee. I put the water in and the grinds and then just walked away to start making my lunch. I then think there is no way that my coffee can be done already because I do not hear it. I look over and it took me about 20 seconds to realize that I had not started it.

I know, I really need to get more sleep. I don't know if that is worse than what I did the day before my trying to wash a wrapper and throw away my cup. I promise that I am a morning person but I also need sleep to function.

In other news, my school is having this dress up type week where every day is something different. Monday was college day, Tuesday was dress like your friend day, today is sports day, and tomorrow is the 80s. It is so funny because the students have no idea what it is like to dress up like the 80s. I kind of have an idea because I was only alive in the 80s for about 3 months. I kind of figured I would wear my sequined top with a shirt under it because it does not have sleeves. There may be pictures tomorrow. We shall see.

Love ya,
Christina

All of this stuff is the same as yesterday so go look there.

Application

All I want to say is that applications are hard and I don't want to do them. It is too bad that I have to do them anyways. There is just so much to them that I just do not want to have to deal with them. I know my to do list is shortening for the things I need to do before graduation but it just causing more stress to see that they days are slowly going down til May 12th.

In other news, I updated my blog and I do not like the way that it looks. I know everyone says that when things change but I just don't know where anything is. I know that once I get use to it I will be like whatever about it. For now, I will try to fumble around to attempt to post this blog post.

Love ya,
Christina

April Fools Pranks

I know that this was yesterday but it quite funny to talk about all of the different pranks that websites have tried to pull all day yesterday. My favourite would have to be YouTube selling their videos on DVDs. I feel like today is much safer but I am not so sure.

Yesterday, when I logged on here, I noticed that blogger said they were getting a new look for April. My first thought was that it was an April fools joke and that it would some how mess with my blog so I ignored it. I just logged on again (obviously! How else could I be writing this) to see that the message is still there.

My question comes to if I should trust it or not. I mean, it is not longer April 1st so it should not longer be a joke if it is still up there. My thinking is what if it is a glitch and it is left up there longer than it was suppose to be. This does happen to website all of the time. They are not suppose to show something but it will still show.

Should I trust the website to know that they really are updating or should I continue to be a skeptic about it and avoid it. I feel like I am blowing this is all out of proportion and they really are updating. I just would like to think that I was not pranked this year for April's Fool.

In other news, this is a short week and I am excited about that but I am a little uneasy because I am starting to fill out applications for jobs next year. I really want to find a full time teaching position for next year. The job market seems to be much better this year so I really hope that I am able to find a job soon so then I can find an apartment. I know! Scary to think that I am going to be moving out soon and truly be on my own like a real adult.

Love,

Christina

Blogging All Month Long?

So as you may know, today is the 1st of April. The last two years I have participated in BEDA. I am not really sure if I want to participate in this once again but here I am blogging. It was literally me sitting at my computer watching YouTube video when I went, "Oh it is April. I need to start blogging every day."

This could be an interesting month for because this is my last month of student teaching and getting ready for graduation in May. Along with that, it could mean that is going to be a very busy month which does not always allow for lots of free time. To be honest, there is a ton of work that I need to get done that is sitting next to me that I am avoiding by writing this instead.

I guess what we can tell by this is that I am going to be blogging every day for the next month. At least I hope to remember to do this every single day. Well, here's hoping.

Love ya,

Christina
