Back again. :)

Hey all,'I haven't written in awhile since I haven't felt like it. However, I'm doing a lot more now than I was earlier in the year. I'm involved in Cincinnati Goalball, which is really fun. We went to our first tournament in Michigan a few weeks ago. I'm the only girl on the team, so I had to be put on a pool team with two girls from Wyskonsin. They'd played together before, so that was cool. Our guys got Mercied all four games, but scord once, and my team got mercied twice, 8/2 once, and 14-7 the last game. It was fun! I loved actually being able to use the goals, because I've never used them before and found that it is a lot easier to stay aligned when you can use the goal to back up against before throwing. We have another, more casual, tournament this coming Sunday, so I'm excited about that. Randy has been looking for a job down here, but hasn't found anything yet. He's applied to places though. I can't wait until he has a job down here! My job is boring, mostly, but it is a job so I'm not really complaining. I do get things to do from finance, which is good since there small easy things but things that need done and I'm saving time for them. I don't know how long i'll be at the company, but it's nice to have a job. Speaking of jobs, I worked at a summer camp this past summer and it was the best experience ever! I loved it! It was a Christian camp, so I got to work with kids and share my faith and grow in my faith and I wish I could work there all the time! Maybe I'll post more about that later. Right now I've got to go pack to go to a friend's house tomorrow, we have an ACBGCC (Greater Cincinnati Chapter), meeting tomorrow so I'm staying at there house and getting a ride to work Wednesday. I'll get to use their treadmill to work out to get in shape for the "Flying Pig" walk I'm doing to raise money for ACB. 5K, 10K, and half Marathon.... wish me luck! I may die! lol Really, bye for now.

Nothings post

So, I got a 46/50 on my Weather and Climate exam!!!!! :D
I was so shocked and excited when I saw that! Especially since, acording to a friend of mine who emailed our professor, our class average was a 56! Yea!

Today was a boring day for the most part. I got up around 9 ish, and fed Bilko and all that. I decided to make eggs around 10:30. They were ok. I've had/made better though lol. I tried putting peperoni in them, because origionally they were supposed to be an omlet. It was ok scrambled though lol. Got my praxis packet from DSS, where they had it because my doctor hadn't gotten the form back conforming my blindness so I can get accomidations for taking the exam in January. Well, one of them at least. I have to take 3 tests...
Sent that off (I keep forgetting we have a mailing service on campus lol.) I hung out with Shelby and one of her friends for awhile, and then got a Gingerbread Latte from Starbucks. MMM! I'd never had one before, but I kept hearing them mentioned on facebook, so thought I'd try one. O, I finished my lesson for Wednesday, crap gotta email that to Mr. P! I just have to get the cricket cutouts (from the cricket machine, the cutouts are vowels), tomorrow, but other than that I'm done.
Well, nothing else interesting happened today, so TTFN :)

Cold, rainy, but not a bad day

Hey all,
So I was going to get up at 7 today just to make sure I had time to talk to the roommies before I went to class, and didn't have to rush around, but, of course, I didn't get up then. Usually I would, but yesterday was a long day, and this weekend is gong to be even longer, so I slept till 8 ish. I got up, got everything ready including giving Bilko his breakfast with the half pill in it, and was out the door at 9:05 and off to the stop to wait for the van for the complex I live in to take me (and like 14 other people at that point in the morning) to school. It was REALLY REALLY cold and rainy today! Bilko, being the weird water-hating lab he is, didn't want to walk through any water, but I made him, getting my shoes soaked in the process. After Standing in the rain and cold for about 15 minutes, I checked my email on my phone, and behold! An email from my professor of my 9:30 class saying class for today was canceled! "Sweet! I'm going home!" I said to nobody inparticular, "my class was canceled!" I then rushed off back to my apartment.

Sara and I decided that, since I didn't have class until 11:30 and she didn't until 2, we would go grocery shopping. Well, we couldn't find the money bag with the combined money we put in every month so we are contributing evenly to the fund. We ended up paying with our own money, flipping out because we couldn't find it, and going to McDonalds for breakfast. I just had a hash brown. We baught a ton of groceries though, and so I was excited to have good food again!
I got my content lit exam back and got an 86%! I was excited, but at first, the way my professor was talking, I was afraid I failed it.I couldn't read the chart for one of the questions, and I completely forgot to ask her about it since I was so afraid of getting everything else answered. I made it though because she let me answer it with her in her office today. I love my teacher!

I got pinkberry (it's a frozen Yogurt place I'd never heard of util we got one on campus this year), with my friend Alisa. She had meal plan, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it. I got chocolate and peanut butter swirl with strawberries and and roasted almonds. It was good,,but expensive. like $5 for a small.

When I came home, Mike was making Lasagna. Yum, yum! I took a break from writing this to eat it, and had two big pieces.

Now off to do do my reading folder for next week.

Random Ramblings

This is just random thoughts from the day. Interesting, but random.
Anarchy: no rules.
Wouldn't that suck? No rules? It'd be very scary to have a classroom without rules. Semalia, (I can't spell, I know), is the only country with Anarchy. Scary! That's why we need rules in classrooms. Although there is one guy, (Alphy Cone), who believes that there should not be rules, because it gives kids a reason to find loopholes. I think he's nuts. We learned about him in Classroom Management. Conformity is subjective to perspective. Seriously. Everyone who says, "I refuse to conform..." ends up conforming to the group of nonconformists. My teacher told us a story about going to Mt. Rushmore and seeing all these bikers around. It turned out there was a Harly Davidson festival. They were nonconformists because they were bikers, but at that point and time, they were conformists. Funny, right? Weather and climate is a horrible class. My teacher doesn't read the answers to the questions he shows out loud so I can follow along and understand what's going on. When I asked him to read them he walked up from the front of the room to the back (mind you this is a huuuge lecture hall), and told me he would tell me later when we meet. Why can't he just read the answers aloud? It isn't that hard! Science sucks when teachers can't teach. It would help if I actually wanted to know about how weather happends. I'm not really interested in the technical jargon, but I need to learn it for the class.
I had a phonics midterm today, and it wasn't that bad. I think I did well on it, but I don't want to get my hopes up just in case. My weather and climate professor wants me to meet with him tomorrow to go over materials. I don't really see how this is going to help, because I still can't read his lectures, but whatever. I'll go talk to him tomorrow. Maybe it'll do me some good. I need to catch up on the readings though. He doesn't have all of the lecture powerpoints up either. Ug. I'm just praying I get a B. Not very high aspirations for this class, I know, but with this guy teaching... He's a nice guy, but I don't learn well with his teaching style. I need discussion and interaction. Ok, that's enough rambling for now. More field placement later.

question for anyone!

Ok, so yes, I haven't updated in forever! I have been busy with classes and field placement and frankly, while I've written quite a bit, I haven't had the innclination to post it. Here's a question, anybody know how to back-date my posts? I want to post things from placement, but don't know how to back-date it so it actually is in the right time frame. I'm going to post them now, but would like to change it if possible. lol Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! :D

hmmm... what to write...

Ok, so I have been reading all day for school and fun, and felt like writing something. I actually do have homework still, but I don't have any classes on Monday, so I'll do the relatively short and easy assignment on my earliest memory (I think it has to be of reading/being read to), then. Partly because I can't think of what to write about. Anybody remember the book about the girl getting a big cherry Popsicle and everybody taking a lick of it and so she hides it in her closet and (of course) it melts and she never gets to even try it. I can't for the life of me remember the name of it, but I had it in braille and it had this awesome picture of a Popsicle that kept getting smaller and smaller until it was just the stick...

I think that's one of the earliest memories I have, but I'm not really sure since I was read to a lot when I was little. *sigh* can you tell I'm bored and just wanted to write something? I was working on a story that I started in May, but I have very infrequent inspiration for writing it, and I ran out of it. I don't think I ever finished a story I started. :( If I did I don't remember it or have it anymore because of the random changes in technology and all of it breaking at some point.

Speaking of breaking technology, I hope my computer battery doesn't fry on me. I can't get another one right now, and i really need my computer! I think I need to put my files on dropbox again...
Seriously this post is so random!
Hmmm...
I had 3 days of school this week, and only 2 next week. I don't always have my Monday class, and until field experience is finalized I have Wednesdays and Fridays free with 4 classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 15 credit hours in all, o and I did change out of Pluralishtics and am taking it next semester. I was going to take 18 credit hours and 75 hours field experience, but decided I didn't want to deal with that much stress. LOL. I will probably take 18 hours next semester though, just to prepare myself for Methods. *shudders* I am nervous about next year for sure! Methods is the scariest (supposedly) part of Teacher Education, and I have a year to prepare for it.
Ah well, God willing... I'll survive, get my license after passing the test needed for it, and become a highly successful and well-loved teacher of students with special needs. If God has other plans... I pray he gives me very clear directions, because I suck at interpreting them! (and, as I realized reading through other posts, spelling! It's ridiculous!)

Let the Year Begin!!!

Today was the first day of my junior year. I love my schedule so far. I Have only one class on Mondays, (and we only meet 6 times a semester), 4 classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 to 3:45, nothing on Wednesdays and Fridays until field placements are set up. I'll have 75 hours of work in the schools this year, and (even without PCC), I'll be in the classroom teaching! Yes! I actually want to get in contact with this lady who's totally blind (I think) and has tought preschool for years. I really want to know how the heck she did it (she's now working at OSSB.)
Ok, back on topic. I only had one class today like I said, and it's at 3:30, so I pretty much messed around and got my sylobi (plural of sylobus, which niether of those I can spell. Ug! and apparently my grammar's gone to heck in a hand basket as well! lol), for the two classes that have it posted as of earlier. That's gonna suck tomorrow if I don't have the others because the course shells for the classes aren't open yet. I ended up heading to campus at 2:30 so I could stop by DSS and get my books on my flash drive. I can't figure out how to use MyFiles, which is what the university uses, but it's confusing with jaws.

My first class went well, except there is 2 other classes that they recommend you take along with this field experience class, because they both involve teaching lessons to students after preparing them, but I'm only taking one, and the only open classes are during my Education in Pluralistic Society class (sounds scary don't it?), and my Weather and Climate class. Pluralistics I need for my major, and Weather and Climate is one class without a lab I can use for a science requirement. I freaked out, and emailed my adviser with an urgent email explaining the situation, so I hope she gets back to me tomorrow!
I'm excited to start placement, but I'm worried about that other class right now, and I don't know which courses (before Methods and student teaching senior year), have field experience.
Anyway, enough with my rambling. I'll try to post more this year, for my own benefit at least.

WEDDING!!!!

Ok, so I meant to post this last week, but never actually got around to it...
July 30, 2011 5:00 pm
T and C got married today. It was at outside wedding, and it was in the 80's and sunny, so it was hot. Abi was flower-girl and kowen was ring barer and they were sooo cute! Abi didn't know flowers would already be lining the isle so she started crying and saying, "I dropped them!" she even tried to pick them up hahahaha! Then kowen was crying because his grandma brought him chocolate to keep him quiet and, (of course), it melted, so he was upset about that.
the serimony was good though. I thought T was going to cry, but he didn't. The bride's-maid's dresses were apparently black with white mixed in. I was sitting by dad, so didn't get details about what was going on. C didn't cry either. We're waiting for the guys to get ready so we can go to the reception.
I did bring Bilko to the wedding, but I'm leaving him home for the reception. (although, I could probably get out of dancing if I brought him... lol.) I'm not a huge dancer, and I haven't been to a wedding since before Nick and I broke up and he was with me, so I'm trying not to be moody. I have to be happy... I'm still young and God will send the right person my way in his own time.
Ok, dad's yelling for me to get ready (which I am so he needs to shut it), and mom and B are arguing and ticking me off, so I need to go. tell more after reception.
11:32 pm The reception was fun. We all sat around and talked until the bridle party got there and they entered, D and A (best man and maid of honor), gave toasts. We then ate and it was Italian Chicken breast, (delicious!), garlic mashed potatoes (also very good), green beans, (good), and fetechini alphrado, (nothing special.) The cake was half white half chocolate with some kind of strawberry filling. WONDERFUL AND I WANT MORE! lol
Then the dances started, and for the life of me I can't tell you what their first dance was! :( The father daughter dance was, "I Loved Her First." I ended up talking to a friend, who I haven't seen in years, and we kind of just sat there for most of the night because the DJ KEPT PLAYING SLOW SONGS! Those are great and all, but I actually wanted to dance! That's weird, because I'm not usually a dancer. I'm not any good at it, so I'll mostly only dance with a lot of people on the floor so I don't stick out as much, or with family and friends around me. Finally they started playing faster songs, but I didn't want to dance until the "Chacha Slide" came on, and I made my friend go out with me to dance it. We danced off and on throughout the night after that, but a lot of the time not many, if any, people were dancing, so we didn't want to without other people. Eventually I ended up dancing when we were getting ready to leave, because Brian asked me to dance, and then (for shits and giggles), I asked R S (my friend's dad), and we danced. Honestly, I didn't think he would... Then B was dragged on to the floor by Aunt M, (put up to it by dad), and he sort of danced for a couple songs before leaving the floor again. The last song we danced to was The "Y-M-C-A." I ended up dancing with C's mom for a bit and then she got Walker because I told her too and we danced the YMCA.
We went to taco bell afterwords because mom and I were hungry and so was Walker and Bee'
Well, I'm tired so night all! I'll post this in the morning on blogger, (edited to not use actual names.)

Sp--Texas!

Over spring break I went to Aldine Texas with the Education department. Actually it was all early childhood majors except me and Dr. P's son. We went to see the Aldine school system. We left Saturday March 4 and came back late Tuesday night. Our flight was delayed 2.5 hours due to who knows what, so we got to Houston around 4:30-ish which would be 5:30-ish in Ohio.
We decided to go to the Texas Rodeo, because most of us wanted to see Billy Kurington, but we missed the concert, so we just went to the huuuge carnival. Sara and I split yummy barbecue ribs and funnel cake. We were going to ride rides but decided not to do that, because the tickets were expensive. We got back to the hotel around 11:30 in Texas which was 12:30 in Ohio so pretty late.
On Sunday we went to Nasa space station in Houston and took a tram tour of some of the buildings including the old mission control center that was used for the first landing on the moon in 1969, and also the training center for the astronauts. It was cool, but I do wish I could have seen them. We went through a building that was the whole space craft that was the length of the building. It showed the rocket boosters as well. I also got an "audio tour" which was basically an MP3 player and a sheet with numbers that you typed into the player to hear what they said about whatever you were looking at, but I just ended up typing in some numbers to hear information since I obviously couldn't see what was around me anyway. Sara and I got dip-and-dots! They were sooo good! We had trouble getting the vending machine to work. Yeah, a vending machine for dip-and-dots. Weird, huh? We finally went to the actual stand and got them.
After Nasa we went to Galviston, (which I didn't realize is completely an island), and after driving around for awhile looking at houses and trying to decide where to eat, walked around on the beach. Bilko loved running around on his flexy leash. He even went into the canal for a little bit! It wasn't deep at all and no waves but he did like walking around in it. He did drink salt water, and I kept having to stop him, so I fed him and he drank pretty much a full bottle of water.
We finally decided to go eat at some famous Texas place called Lubi's, but it wasn't there anymore, so we went to this Italian and seafood restaurant called Mario's and I got lobster-stuffed ravioli that was quite good and jelato for desert. It was good. I'd never had and before, but the meal and it were expensive. $25 for everything. We had a really cool waiter who gave us tons of samples of jelato and Sara and I took a picture with him.
Monday we went to a EC Pre-k school that was a public pre-k-- weird since we don't have them in Ohio. It was a montessorri school for economically disadvantaged children. Here are my notes from it:
Preschool: montessorri schools are very structured and quiet. Did a song about reading before reading a book. (Read a book called The Cow Boy mouse. Haha!) Read aloud together. The teacher read the book but the kids did read it too. Lots of repetitions. They use a lot more difficult words than many preschools. Lots of singing. Lots of repetition used in instruction and memory techniques. Sounding out words. 100% participation (everyone gets to participate.) Visuals for everything. A lot of songs that the students sing to tell peers good job. (That's the way I like it for example.) Songs for rule following. lots of songs and motions. (I am happy when you follow the rules. I am sad when you don't follow the rules. to the tune of if your happy and you know it.) I don't like how she used pink for girls and blue for boys when giving students writing paper. The classroom is very colorful and everything is labeled. The curriculum now is what we learned in kindergarten. LOTS of repetition. They repeated the learning goals for the lessens after the teacher said them. In gym they were more like typical kids. They played a game where they had a "magic clip" and whoever had the clip had to run around the room until they found their partner and then they had to go get the number of beanbags that was said and take them back to their spot. They shared, practiced counting, and got exercise as well as listening. The teacher also had a moddle of what the kids were supposed to do on the mats, (where they put the beanbags), on the wall.
When they spell things a lot of times they just have the kids sound it out. (cow, Ca-ah-wa.)
The special Ed class wasn't as montessorri based because of having to teach to IEPS. Many of the kids have language problems. The second teacher was louder than the first, the classroom also seemed more open. The students were also more talkative. She didn't use the cards either. The walls aren't as crowded. She did a lot of repetition. The cards were used for when they were at stations. After we got back Sara and I wanted to go to the hot-tub, but didn't have much time, so we went for like 15 minutes and came back to get back in our professional clothes to go to a meeting the BG grads working in aldine. I looove Aldine! I'm not sure intervention majors can apply to student teach there, but I really want to! It is amazzzing! We had a wonderful "ar salking to the PR guy that does all the hiring of teachers in Aldine, and some BG grads that are now teaching in Aldine. We then just hung out in our hotel rooms for the night because we were all tired.
Tuesday we went to this engineering school for K-4. Yeah! An entineering-based elementary school! They had sessions where they did different types of engineering, although I didn't get to see any. It was really neat! Here are my notes from that day:
4th grade at an engineering and math science elementary school. Class 1 room number 30. She starts out with a warmup activity for the class, (a packet), she is reading the activity too 2 kids. A lot of independent work is done at the beginning of her class. This teacher randomly sings her instructions! Hahahaha! The class came up with weird words to make sure they had the right multiple choice letter. (one kid said "call of duty," when she said "cookie" for C haha!) She used "tree diagrams" for organizing answers from two groups, (how many colors combinations can you get when...) Sometimes they play basketball where they get to answer questions against another group and whenever someone gets an answer right they get to shoot. (Didn't actually do this but was told about it.) The entire class went to the bathroom at once and went in groups of 3 guys and 3 girls. Read homework problems aloud to check them. Played a math game with angles where the teacher drew a bunch of lines on the board and the students had to write what angles they saw, (they were numbered.) One person was at the board and the rest were answering at their seats. If everyone got the answer right the team got a point, and if the person at the board got it right they got another point. Teacher was very enthusiastic, and repeated instructions a lot. She has multiple classes. The second class she actually practiced the "geometry Simon says," which she didn't practice before playing the game with the first class. (Right, obtuse, acute, translation, reflection, rotation, perpendicular, intersecting, parallel, line.)
Classroom 2: She graduated from Toledo U! Teaches reading but incorporates writing and language as well. Uses smart board. Plays trash can basketball and other games for TAX preparation. She also does "Bubba Bucks" which means every time kids do homework, answer questions in class etc they get bucks and when they don't do homework etc they pay her and can spend them at her "store" once a month. Teaches budgeting money. Does crafts to go along with books. She lets them be very creative. As long as they have what is needed for grading they can do what they want with the project. They do not have much art so she incorporates it into lessons. (Not much music either. Once every two weeks.)
The special education teachers in Texas co-teach and work with the students in special ed in inclusion settings. TAX is harder than OAT and determins whether or not the students pass the grade. If not they go to summer school. Everything in her classroom is labeled and she has students that are "table captains" that make sure everything is put away. Flash cards for sentences and sentence structure. Has set of paint strips, (free from Loes), that say A B C D and they kids use a close pin to show the answer and they can pick what color paint strip they want. A CD with prefixes, suffixes etc and they spin it and whatever there finger is pointed to when spin stops is what they have to use for the sentence, (also free.) MANY free reading activities.
Overall I think the elementary school convinced me more than the Pre-K since I can teach elementary. I loooved it! I'm totally going to apply for student teaching! (well if possible. I'll check into it when I get back to school.)
We had tex-mex for dinner and then went to the airport where the next crazy adventure began!

bla bla bla blogging.

So I have a little more than an hour-- an hour and... 17 minutes to be exact-- until my first class of the day, so I thought I'd update yall on life here. I'm doing well. I think I've come to grips with Nick and me not being together anymore and that actually being a good thing in the long run... then again I haven't really talked to him except through a few texts and I commented on his picture on FB which I wouldn't have done if it hadn't shown up on my feed-- since last Tuesday. I want us to still be friends, but know that may take awhile if it's even meant to happen.
Anyways...
classes are going well: Spanish 1010 is easy so far since I took 3 years of it in high school but the last was 4 years ago so I'm going back to the beginning.
Transitions: should be interesting, and there's an add-on program you can take to become a transition specialist, so depending on how I like this class I may do that to have something to fall back on if I fail at teaching hahahaha!
Assistive Technology for special needs: The material sounds interesting, but the teacher is boring, and the people around me are all on FB so that's annoying when I'm resisting the temptation and trying to pay attention.
Teaching Middle School Math: That is going to be hard! I'm totally not liking it so far, and it's only been a week. At least I know I'm not the only one since the girl sitting next to me hates it already and we both can't figure out some of the problems. Wow that made me feel a whole lot better when she told me that! :)
Music Education for Elementary is a required class for Special Ed, (intervention Specialist), majors. There's a lecture part on Tuesdays at 8:30 am and then my resitation at 10:30 on Thursdays. It's fun! We get to sing little songs and play recorders... those things are soooo annoying! hehehehe!
PCC: Going to suck this semester! We have to come up with a research question related to our field experience/s and research and present it at the Urban Ed conference-- which is 2 days long, friday night and saturday-- and have 4 conferences with Dr. V (director) or his assistent who I don't really know but what I do know I'm not sure about but whatever. The only good thing is we don't have 9:15-10:30 seminar every Tuesday night, but that means I have to figure out when we do have it... O well.

I joined this "national Society of Leadership and Success" (NSLS), that is for people wanting to be better leaders I guess. I have an orientation meating Sunday at 3:00, so I'll have more information then. It's a life-long organization and looks really good on resumes (spelling?), so that's cool.

I'm also going to tutor this kid, I'll call him A for now, who is blind and in like 4th grade or something, in jaws and braille. I need to call his mom tonight and set up a meeting for Friday. Any ideas on how much I should charge? Comment with suggestions please! I'm thinking $10 per hour but I'm not sure.
Ok, really I need to stop rambling! Does anybody actually read this?

Single :( :( :(

The title says it all really... Well all but the reason.
I broke up with Nick Tuesday night/Wednesday morning ish. No, it wasn't because I've found somebody else (don't think that'll happen anytime soon) or I don't love him anymore (deffinitly not!) I don't remember what all I have posted on here about the drama of religion. He and I went to the same confermation classes when in middle school, so as a stupid young tenth grader, I thought that ment that we're both Christians and it'd be allright. Well he says he's a Christian, but he doesn't go to church that much because his parents don't. He said he was willing to go to church, but that was basically it. He didn't want to read the bible or talk to anybody to learn more about what he said he believed in. We've been arguing about this for months-- since summer really-- and even off and on before that, but I thought we could work it out if he was willing to try. He'd go to church with me when he was here, and he seemed to like it, but he wasn't willing to do more than that. I know this probably doesn't make any sense what soever, it's confusing me as I right, but I thought if he loved me enough he'd at least try to get closer to God. I need someone who will challenge me and walk with me in faith. I can't be the one that believes and he just goes along for the ride. We would have fought about it for the rest of our lives, and raising children would have been hard. I want someone I can discuss what God is doing or what they think he's doing in our lives and why and stuff like that. I never thought about it before, because my parents don't really seem to do that, but my faith is more important to me than that. Does this make any sense?
I hate it, because he was my BEST FRIEND! We talked every night, and texted throughout the day. It's only been 3 days and I'm going nuts wondering how he is and what he's doing. I want so badly to call him, but know it will only make things worse for us both right now. I want to talk to him and make sure he knows that I want to be with him and if he were willing to try (he says he doesn't have the drive to do so, which is a huge part of it I won't force him to change) it could work. Ok, maybe I shouldn't tell him all that... I'm so confused!
It sucks because I think of something and am like I wanna tell Nick but then I remember I can't. The headphones I'm using are from him for Christmas this year. It would have been four years on March 21st. I'm not crying. I don't think I can cry anymore. I'm just... numb? Sure. I can't make any more tears right now. He apparently got me a voice activated clock over last weekend. Guess I'm not getting that now, but I already have a couple even though one's at least 10 years old and showing it. OK seriously this is pathetic and I'm gonna stop with the pitty party because I can't go on doing this. I just needed to write some of it down. I miss him and it's only been 3 days! Is it possible to be friends with your ex's? I don't know. Anybody done it? Does it work? Help! :(

sophomore year so far

Hey all,
I started college again last week, so I've been really busy, but I have some downtime before I have to feed Bilko and head to campus for my first class (I have a 6-9 every tuesday and then my learning comunity class from 9:15 to 10:30) I'm meeting one of my roommates (froommies now stands for fantastic roommies), for dinner and then going to class. I like my classes ok so far. I can get to them all right :) Yea! My new O and M instructor was so amazed that Bilko remembered the rout after only doing it once! He says he's never seen such a smart dog! Yea Billy! Show them all how smart you are! :D
I should probably figure out how to get to the library on campus... I've never really needed to go there before unless it was with friends for group work. I feel a lot more confident walking around campus this year than I did even last semester, and Bilko seems to too. Yesterday he had his first A.D.D day so far. He's been reeeally good up till then, and I don't know what made him so off, but maybe it was me being in a bad mood? Hmmm... Probably. Maybe I should work on my acting skills for him haha!

Im taking this middle Childhood Literature class that's focusing on teaching literature to kids 4th-9th grades, and I absolutely love it so far! My teacher is amazing! We found something in common the first day... we're both fans of The Hunger Games series. I was actually reading the third book (just came out last tuesday), before class and she said I should really read it. When I said I was she asked where I was and said she should be done with the book by Friday. At the rate I'm going I'll be done by tomorrow evening or thursday haha!
We have to read Among The Hidden (shadow children number 1) by tomorrow, and I started it last Wednesday since I wasn't sure how long it was and finished it thursday night. Good book. Check it out!
Ok, gonna get ready to leave.
If anyone actually reads this anymore, have a good night! :D
