Almost Done....

Well, I am getting ready to sit in my last ever Peru State college class* here in about a half hour! Whew! I honestly never thought I would see the day that my classes were nearing an end!

Tomorrow marks my last day of paid work for about four months. I am terrified, not just about being moneyless but, student teaching and missing out on my work babies growing and changing. I don't think I truly realized how attached I am until I realized I would have to leave them temporarily. Needless to say, tomorrow will be a sad day at work. But, I have promised to visit as much as as I can... and I am hoping it will be possible with the work load and everything. If not, I will make it possible :)

I also went and slammed a small fortune this weekend on dress clothes. This is where having a "casual" job has its drawbacks! It was a whole lotta money on dress clothes!

Well, I am fully aware that most of this is a pointless ramble! I should move on to my LAST CLASS right now!

*unless I decide to get my masters and it requires in-class classes!

The Whirlwind Update...

Well, keeping up on this thing has proved harder than I thought! Things have been a crazy whirlwind for me, but it has actually been somewhat of a good thing because it has kept my mind off of my nerves related to student teaching! There have not been any major events lately, as I have spent most of my free time with my homework! These classes were a CRAZY combination to take together! I have 2 weeks left in my Peru classes, and then I start student teaching on August 3rd. My Biology class however, goes until the 15th of August...which could really end sooner :)

In other news, the kitties have now started to get along! I know all it took was some patience, but I was worried that we had made the wrong decision by bringing another cat in the household. The only issue is feeding them...Otis HOGS down all of his food, while Libby has always been more of a slow eater (ex. throughout the day.) If Otis sees food left over in Libby's dish, he "takes care of it" for her. I need some feeding tips! We get after him if he goes for it, but he is so sneaky, the minute we walk away he is nom-nomming away. Here is photographic evidence of love :)


In celebration of their new found friendship, we got them an awesome floor to ceiling cat tree! They love it!


Also, I should take this time to congratulate Rachel and Kyle on their engagement! Rachel is Erich's sister and long time friend of mine, and they made it official! They are getting married! They are planning a wedding in October of this year... I love Rachel, she sets her mind to something and she accomplishes it! Three months or not! I have a pretty busy ten months or so! I will be in Christa's wedding in August, Rachel's in October and Trish's in May! It is CRAZY FUN to be a bridesmaid and such an honor. I love being a part of people's weddings! So, so much fun!

Well, that is all in the land of me. I am hoping I have a little more time for updating and sharing Student Teaching stories once I am done with this crazy session of classes! But, until then, good bye!
