so i got the official word today: i've been accepted to graduate school at asu. i am so excited-and very nervous-to start! when i finish, i will be a reading specialist, something that has been my goal since i started my education classes.
considering that i am completely exhausted right now, i have no clue how i'm going to make this happen. but since dad's sermon this past sunday, i have been relying on God's strength and not my own. why should anything change now that my schedule has gotten a little bit easier?
(ironically, monday morning i prayed that i would rely on God and not be plugged into myself. an hour later i found out i had a new student starting that day. so, so ironic.)
anyway, i'm ready. bring it on.
right after my nap.

and so it begins
here come the stories...
a friend of mine who works at the school also has her 3 girls there. today while we were all eating lunch in the cafeteria, her youngest (who is 4 yrs old) announced to her table that she wasn't wearing any underwear. her mom heard her, her sister heard her, and who knows what her teacher said when she heard her! because i have seen this little girl in action, it is totally believable. of course her older sister, who is in my class, ran right over to tell me. later on her mom came to tell me, but i told her, "too late. your older daughter already told me!"
my poor friend. but it sure did make for a funny monday.

first day
today was the first day of school, and boy was i tired!! i don't have a whole lot of first days to compare today to (like...1), but i think today went really well.
because i'm in the same room that i was in last year, i had to keep reminding myself that i was teaching 3rd grade this year, not 1st grade. maybe i'll do better tomorrow.
however, i have a really sweet class. they are funny (one managed to make me laugh before the first day of school) and one even gave me a "first day of school" gift. i LOVE it!
so...that's pretty much all i have for right now. shocker, huh? i'm just tired. have a wonderful rest of the week!

what might be the saddest day of the year
it's the last day of summer-my summer is officially over. tomorrow i start in-service at school. while the beginning of a new school year is always exciting, the end of summer is not exactly high up on my list of favorite things.
ah well. i'll get over it.
but really, getting up early is not my thing. it seems i'm taking the extra large mug of coffee to work tomorrow.
