This will be my final entry! It is kinda like the beginning of the end, as my Senior year continues to fly by. Yesterday, I began my internship in the admissions office, so I can be reached there. It is very exciting to be taking on a new and exciting roll on campus. However, it is sad because it is just another step closer to the real world, in which I do not want to leave Immaculata beind for. Well, I guess that is all. Hopefully, I will be meeting many of you and the upcoming events such as the IU day this Saturday. Good Luck with everything, and hopefully I will see you around!

Hey
I kno I kno, its been awhile. But things have been SOOO BUSY!!!! I have 3 more days student teaching. I do not know if I should be happy or sad. I am excited for it to be over, however, I will really miss my teacher and students. They are all so great. I have become really close with many of them.

Well, I really have to get back to working on my portfolio.

I know, I know it's been awhile, but I am sooooooo busy!!!! I am now right in the middle of student teaching with exactly ONE month TO GO! It is so weird because I can not wait for it to end, but I don't want it to be over. I want to sleep in. I want to be on campus with all my friends. I am finally 21 and want to act it, but I am going to miss my students. I really like (most of) them a lot and have become so close with them.

Tonight is our first Blue and White game. The girls are playing now, and the boys are at 8. I am going to try and stop by, but I am not sure if I will make it. I love basketball season here, its is so exciting to go out and support them. Everyone, including the sisters make an appearence at the games.

Alright, back to work!!!!

Hello All

We had our open house yesterday. It went very well. It was nice to meet all of you.

Today is Sunday. I love Sunday. It is so nice to have a day when you are expected to relax. Not that happens very often, but I try. Tomorrow my cooperating teacher won't be in, so I will be on my own teaching. There will be a sub, but she has an easy day becuase I will do all the work.

Everyone at IU is getting ready for Halloween. We have a huge Costume Ball, and a haunted path that is open to the public. IU students do all the acting in it, and we normally get a good turnout.

Well I guess that is all

7 more weeks of student teaching to go!!!! I am getting really tired!!! I just want to be a "normal college kid". Teaching is making me realize how easy college is, and how I want it back! As much as I don't want to rush through Senior year, I just want to sleep past 6am.
Once I get there, I love it, I really do, but I really have 5:55am.
We have an Open House coming this weekend, which means I won't get to sleep in then either, but it should be fun anyway. I love when people come and visit IU. I even think my sister will be coming!
I am also very excited about the Spring Semester. I am going to be doing an internship in the Admissions office. I love the people that work up there, and love what they get to do, so I am very excited about that....and...they don't start till 9! :)

Well, back to work....Hopefully I will see some of you on Saturday at the Immaculata Day!

HAPPY OCTOBER!

Im half way through week 3 of student teaching! My feet hate me, I am soooo tired, I want to sleep late, and I want to be 21!!!!
I do love teaching, but I feel like I am missing out on everything here! I want to go out and celebrate Senior year with the everyone else, but i can't becuase I am in bed by 11. Tomorrow should be fun though, my friend and I are going out to dinner. We really haven't spent much time together since I started teaching, and I miss him so!
This past weekend went really well! We had an Open House, and there were a lot of families there. The weather held out for the most part.

This weekend we are going to NYC to see Beauty and the Beast of Broadway!!!! ROAD TRIP!!! Hopefully we come back alive!!!!!!!!!!!! I love my IU girls!

Well off to work!

................Till next time..........

So...1 week of student teaching done, 11 more to go!!!
I love it, I really do, but teaching is sooooooooooooooooooo tiring!!!! I forgot how long high school days are! But I am learning so much and love my cooperating teacher. She is so helpful and so encouraging. I can not believe how much I have learned in one week, I can't imagine how much I will get after 11 more weeks.

The sad part is I feel very out of the loop. I have no idea what is going on around campus. And honestly, I can't even think about going to anything becuase I am so tired when I get home. I do miss my friends, I feel like I have not seen them in weeks. I am also starting to think about May. ...You know that really scary time when they want me to go to the REAL WORLD...yea...I need to work on that....

Well anyway, off to dinner and then workstudy...I have to make some money somehow!

............Till Next Time..............
