What’s new…
I have completed three weeks of my teaching program although honestly it feels like it has been three months. But I absolutely love it. I am a self proclaimed nerd, but I am in the company of friends right now :) The English majors joke about prepositions and Shakespeare and in my mixed classes we share stories about all the crazy things that kids try to get away with these days. And then we talk about planning lessons and our brains go crazy in another realm that totally makes sense to us. It’s great—I feel like I belong :) In even better news, I got my placement for student teaching! I was a little late in getting placed (took an extra week), but I really love my classes (7th grade) and my master teacher—I am going to learn a TON from her. I guess I should add a quick note because in my previous post I said I wanted to teach high school and now I’m teaching junior high. It’s a funny chain of events, but something I think God always had planned for me and now I’m actually looking forward to the change :)
On my hooks and needles…
I haven’t started any new projects, probably mostly cause I’m so busy with school. But I have looked at a lot of patterns and salivated over yarn and fantasized about what I’m making “next.” I have another pregnant friend due this summer so I may be making another baby blanket. I’ve always wanted to tackle a sweater- and I have several patterns in mind. But one of the most popular resolutions for most yarn crafters is of course don’t start any new projects until the old ones are done. It’s not practical, but we all try to do that! So far I’ve stayed true, but we’ll see…
What’s off?
My baby blanket! It turned out so cute!!
They don’t know what they are having yet, but I think the green and yellow are a great color combination and the mom-to-be loved it :)
I had to pull an all-nighter to finish it! Usually that’s reserved for school projects, such as my papers haha. Any English major who tells you they don’t write their papers the night before they are due is lying. We all write them the night before and that’s usually when they are the best. Now I’m going to go into teaching and teach my students to have rough drafts and timelines but in reality, nobody does that ;)
That’s all for now! I guess it will be a good goal for me to update once a month. No I think a better goal will be twice a month, but realistically I think it will be closer to one. I just like to give myself high expectations :)
