Well...It's About Time!

Hello blogging world! I guess I am back! Life has gotten in the way of blogging for the last couple of months I suppose. I guess that, and I don't really have much to say but the normal stuff. Since the last post, summer came and went and it is fall again. Wow! I can't believe it! I enjoyed the lazy summer days so much (and the warmth), that it was hard to go back to work in August, but all good things must come to an end I suppose! :)

This school year I have been blessed with a really cute class of 27 fourth graders again and for the most part, they really are well-behaved! I really couldn't have asked for better! I am enjoying them, but I am definitely ready for a nice 3 week break coming up in a week and a half, especially after having P/T Conferences this coming week. I am not even going to go anywhere for a vacation, but I am ready to relax a little before it gets really crazy.

I am in the second and FINAL year of getting my Master's in Literacy and Reading from the U and am SOOOO excited to be done this time next year! I am grateful I am able to go back to school and learn how to be a better teacher, but it has been a little chaotic, to say the least...I am termed the "boring roommate" by my friends because I am always up in my room "studying". It is probably true, but I really am trying to get out and have fun once in a while! This semester has been a relatively easy one compared to others, but next semester I am not looking forward to taking my "comp" exams. Basically, they are three, fifteen page papers that I have to write in the span of ten days during the University's Spring Break...some "break", right? To get my reading endorsement, I have to take ANOTHER darn Praxis test too...GRRR...I dislike those tests very much!! In the end, I am hoping it will be worth it though, because I will be qualified to be a reading specialist if I want to...just another option besides the regular teaching!

Anyway, that is all for now...got to get back to doing what I do best...studying! Haha!
