My life

once again it is time for an update on the life of brittney.

i finally made it through last semester..and i made it through with pasing grades! yeah!! i even got good grades in the ELL class and the Teachers and the Law class. both classes that i could ahve fallen asleep in everytime and did as little as possible. last semester really was not that bad though. yes, i liked some classes more then others, but overall it was really good and actually pretty useful. i am finally at the point were the classes that i am taking all work together and are useful to what i want to do...which is teach. My favorite class of last semester was my art class. i loved doing all of the different projects in class and i loved having a reason to draw and to color and to create. all to often it seems like i don't have enough time to do that..so it was nice to have a reason to.

also, i finally turned in my application for the Elemntary Ed program at the U. you have to fet into this program in order to do your student teaching and to graduate. i was a little bit worried because this is something that i have been working for and towards for awhile now and there are a lot of people applying to the program this year. so needless to say when i had finally gotten everything done for it (which includes a personal statement, background check, 3 letters of recommendation, my PRAXIS Test scores, and the applicaiton) i was pretty nervous. i handed it in on the last day of classes before the break. my advisor told me that it would take about a month before i knew anything and tht they would notify me by mail. so i handed it in and then just moved it to the back of my mind. i tried not to think about it and just to enjoy the break. it actually worked pretty well. and then work got crazy busy and school was starting agian so needless to say my mind was somewhere else. then i came home on a tuesday night during the first week of school...and there it was. the letter from the admissions office. My mom told me to get my but upstairs the second i had walked through the door. she was about ready to rip it open herself to see what it said. it made me laugh and also made me not want to open just to see what she would do. the didn't last very long though. she is pretty good at pestering and then if that doesn't work she just does it herself. so i decided that if i wanted to open my letter i would have to do it pretty quick. so i did....and it said i was in!! so that means that i get to do my student teaching next year and then i graduate!! yeah...i will finally get to be the teacher. yes, i have about a year and a half until i am there..but i am getting closer. it is fun and scary all at the same time. we will see how it goes.
