Weekend of Internal Affairs

Spent this weekend in St Cloud for MSUSA Internal Affairs. I was not really enthused about the long bus ride, but all things considered I think it was a good thing to be there. Although we did not get through everything, I think it was a pretty productive meeting. Now looking ahead to Delegates this weekend...it will be long. And will be my second-to-last conference. Pretty weird to think about...

Two Months

Well, the rest of break was good. I enjoyed having some time at home, but now it is back to the daily grind. It is hard to believe I have less than 2 weeks of student teaching left at this point, and in less than two months I'll be done with undergrad work. As much as I know that's a good thing, I will miss BSU, my activities, my friends, etc. The place and people have become like another home and family to me and leaving that will be difficult.

Two more months...wow.

From DC...

The trip has been good for the most part. The Summit/conference portion went well and I have been enjoying a lazy day today as I have no legislative meetings. Spent some time on "The Hill" this afternoon taking photos and dropped by one House office building.

As is typical, I have been lost a couple of times. I have absolutely NO sense of direction. Eventually find my way, but it takes a while.

Weather is decent, 55 today. Tomorrow forecast at 73.

Another Long Delayed Update

Two weeks again....seems like that's becoming a pattern on this thing. Life is crazy. Often I don't seem to feel much like blogging when I do get free time. I resolve to update more, because I still do enjoy it and it helps to put some things in writing.

Things are going just fine. I started a new assignment at the district's Area Education Center on Thursday. My university supervisor thought it would be a good idea for me to experience a different setting and I agreed. It'll be an interesting and hopefully enjoyable way to end my student teaching experience.

In other news, I met about my thesis on Friday and think I have a direction and timeline that will get that back on track...

I took the Praxis II yesterday. YUCK!...

I've been doing a lot of laundry this weekend...

Final thought...Once again recently I have been reminded that I have wonderful friends. I've been really down and stressed out for most of the last couple of months. Some people would have seen that and avoided me and my less than cheery moods like the plague. But there are some out there (you all know who you are, if you read this) that have been incredibly supportive and helpful in keeping my spirits up. Thank you!
