Update time

Holy cow it's been a while. Sorry about that. Let's play the update game, k?

I am still in Cedar City. I have to finish up my job here working with moddy teenagers who are even more moody (moodier?) because I told a few of them that they are going to have to do summer school. I complain about them, but really they are a lot of fun. The come and visit me in my office and I got my first graduation announcment. I am excited to go since I have been officially invited.

I am taking an independent study class. This last semester was really hard and I worked really hard the last few weeks of school. I basically lived in the computer lab working on my ESL classes, which I am very happy to say I am all finished with, and studied really hard for math. I got my grades the other day and I probably could have cried just a little bit. Let me tell you. This is what I saw:

EESL 4330 A
EESL 4340 A
ELED 4000 A
EDRG 4020 A
ELED 3535 A
MATH 2020 F (!!!!!)

So my dear friends, I will be here in Cedar for the whole summer so I can take both of my fun classes. This will be my 6th math class I have taken in college. Yay for me (math and me have had a pretty hate hate relationship, so that was sarcastic) Luckily my GPA didn't drop too much so I am able to keep my scholarships. It just kinda pisses me off though. (13 out 100 on my final, 13% friends. Beat that!) But, I will be going into my last run of classes in the fall. It's called the block and it's all the methods classes like Methods of teaching Science, Methods of teaching Lanugage Arts, etc. My classes will be from about 9-3 every other day and two days a week I will be in an elementary school teaching. I am very nervous. Extremely. But super excited. In the spring I will be packing all my crap and heading up north to Provo to student teach. Ya, super excited.

Right now, I am looking for a job to keep the money rolling in and to keep me from ripping my hair out from bordem. Not a whole lot going on around this little town. I went home this last weekend for Mother's Day and had a blast. It was really nice to spend time with my family and lay around being lazy. I am way excited because my friend Sam is coming down to visit the first weekend in June. If anyone wants to come and visit, I will welcome you with open arms and make you cookies. You can even have your own room. We have 2 extra right now and will have 3 extra in a few weeks. Let me know.

Jake is graduating in 2 weeks. My little brother!! Then he packing up and going to the U. Then he is going to leave us for 2 years. Then my other little brother will pack up and go somewhere and then leave for 2 years, then my other little brother, and then my other. It's like a cruel and vicious chain. I will save my tears for the graduation.

Anyway, lunch is over now. I need to get back to work.

p.s. Kris is in the top 2. Kris and Adam. I think someone owes me money. Still loving American Idol.
