Holy Moley!

Man oh man I will be so glad when this semester is over! I have found that the classes at UNT just aren't ready for middle school teachers yet.  Lately I've been writing lesson plans for social studies, math, and ELA. Hmmmm....pretty sure I'm a science teacher though...imagine that!!
I went to my first job fair last week. What a crazy mess!! I have yet to determine the point of going besides being able to say "I was there and talked to you but out of over 100 people I'm sure you don't remember anybody." How useful...really. However, many of the HR reps and principals told me I shouldn't have a terribly hard time finding a job because I'm science AND esl! Woohoo!!!
I'm really nervous about my cert tests though. I'm taking the practice PPR and practice 4-8 science. If those go well then I'll take the real things and be officially certified!

I'm very excited about this week! After the hell that is school projects are over I get to relax with friends and family!! We FINALLY get to meet Jake. He is about twoish months old and his mom is a friend who is very near and dear to my heart. On thursday Mike finally gets to meet my Grandma Cookie and then mom and I pull an all nighter and go shopping on friday. Yeah, we're part of that crazy crowd and Kohl's opens at 3AM!!!!! Saturday we're spending all day with a whole gaggle of Smiths and sunday we're celebrating mine and Mike's birthdays! I finally get to see Carrie, another friend who is near and dear to my heart! OH! And to top it off, we get to see Shiloh twice!! Two days in a row! What a fantastic birthday. This is a much needed break, as soon as I decide to stop doing school work and actually start enjoying the break.
I hope to learn how to knit and I picked up a new craft called punch needle....we'll see how well it works out and if I like it. My hands just need something to do besides typing!
