this time maybe i'll be bulletproof

it's been a tough week. and it just seems to be getting tougher.

maybe it's the stress that it's may term, and although may term is the best time of the year, it's also the worst because some of my best friends are leaving goshen for good soon. it seems like everyone is on pins and needles, and absolutely no one is around when i really need to talk. i can't remember it ever being this bad. i keep wondering where my friends are, because none of them are here when i seem to be hurting the most.

and it's extremely painful.

this is a new year

sorry for the delay....i haven't posted at all in 2010, and here it is being april already! i'll brief you with what's been happening this semester:

  • i had my last placements before student teaching. one was alright, but the other one was amazing. i decided i love teaching k-3 the best!
  • josh came to goshen! it's been fun having him live downstairs with dan and kris and hanging out with 211 all the time.
  • i've made some amazing friendships with the people in my education classes, especially leanndra, ellie, suzanne, and katelyn.
  • my grandpa got a new kidney!
  • i've become obsessed with twitter.
  • i decided to move home next year.
  • my student teaching placement will be in a kindergarten class at chamberlain elementary in goshen.
  • i just finished writing my children's book...it took forever but i'm really proud of it!
  • i'm wearing dresses more, which is so much fun!
  • i spend easter in chicago with gina.
  • i'm in love with my new ipod.
  • i worked at some winter youth retreats at amigo.
  • glee is finally back! and i'm gleeful again!
  • and probably the biggest highlight so far....TAYLOR SWIFT!!!! i went to her concert last month and had the best time ever!
So there you have it! a look into my life over the past few months. i'll try to keep updating more, even though kristin is the only one who ever looks at this...haha
