Thinking...i know it is a surprise

well..the first thing that i was thinking about today was that i needed to finally create a blog for myself. i was in my technology class reading everybody elses pages and figure that i really should just make one of my own. i didn't think it was fair to look at and read everybodys when they couldn't look at or read one of mine. so wendi..this is for you. even though i am single and don't have an "and" in my heading i figured why not. i hope you enjoy it.

the next thing that i thought about today a lot was how much i need to do for school. i can not believe that there are only three more weeks of the semester left. it has gone by so fast and i can't believe how much i still need to do before it can end.

along with this i was thinking about my plan for life. about where i want to go and where i want to end up. i can not believe that i will graduate in two more years. then i will become the teacher with studetns of my own. it was exciting, yet incredably scary to think about. after i graduate i will hopefully be able to find a job here in the Salt Lake area. i want to be able to teach for a year, and then work on getting my masters in technology education while still teaching for the next two years after that. beyond that i really can't say that i have a plan. everything else i want to happen envoles other people. since i can not plan other peoples lives for them, this is as far as my own plan can really go.

on the drive home tonight i was thining about how things end everyday. each day that we live something ends. something is over. but, on the other hand, something new begins. each day is an end to yesterday and a beginning to today. each day is a new day. a day to live how you would choose. you can not change what happenend yesterday. you can not determine all that will happen tomorrow. all that you can do is live in the moment that you are in. i diceded that life is like a puzzle. you are putting pieces together in that puzzle every day. the thing is, you don't know what the puzzle will look like when it is finished. therfore, you just have to pick up the pieces around you and place them where you think they ought to go. along the way you will find that some of the pieces that you picked up will not fit at all. some will seem like they fit, but then they will fall out and no matter how hard you try, they just won't connect. you will also find that other pieces will just fall into where they belong, even if you didn't realize that it would. pieces are falling in and out of your puzzle everyday. each day the puzzle becomes clearer or more confusing. each day your puzzle is one step closer to being complete. one step closer to completing the picture. the picture that is you life. the picture that is who you are. the puzled is only finished when your life is comeplete. when it reflects who you are and who you have become from the life that you have lived. each day we decide what pieces to put into our puzzles. each day we are choosing who we want to become and where we want to be.
