So while I usually talk about how the weeks going, nothing interesting happened this week except what happened today, so I will tell you what happened today. I woke up at 5:30 (yes you saw right) in the morning, probalby like most of you seniors and I had to leave IU by six this morning. Why you ask? I had observations today..in Philadelphia. In the first semester of this year, we went around to schools in the area and we observed a variety of teachers. However, this semester we go to a single teacher in an urban setting and we are with this semester for the whole semester. Well, I went to Saint Hubert's Academy, an all girls school(if any of you who are reading this go there, find me..im not that hard to find) and I am with a World History teacher named Ms. Snowden (she graduated from Immaculata)..overall my experience there was good..and im looking forward to how the weeks are going to go...then i came back around 12ish and things..had a few meetings..spanish class (which of course is always an interesting time)..and finally capped it off with intermural kickball (which we stopped because the ball got stuck in the ceiling haha)..now im sitting here typing to you all after my long day, about to go to bed. So..until next week!

Well, it has only been nearly two weeks since I have been back at immaculata, and the busyness has already set in! Even though I got some free time yesterday and actually went to go out to friendlys with my fellow blogger kasey and other admissions people such as ej and janelle, those free times come shorter and shorter nowadays. All of my clubs and everything have already begun to plan events for the rest of the year, and it looks like its going to be a fun year. For programming board, which organizes the majority of events on campus, we are going to have more dances, a valentines day movie night (Hitch and wedding singer i think) and even a hypnotist, which im very excited for!! Last week we had this game show come around and everyone who went up had the chance to win a good amount of free money. While I went up and was so close to getting a chance to play in the final round, I lost and I ended up with no money. The girls who got the most ended up with 45 or 50 dollars, so heres hoping for that show to come back so I can have a second chance at free money!!
As far as schoolwork goes, so far I have had to do just a bunch of reading, but I have a feeling that all of the writing is going to hit me in the face, and I know that that is going to be a blast!! oh well. Well I am going to get some lunch in the cafeteria now, so until next time!

Hey Everyone! I'm sorry it has been a while since I have been blogging. Finals week kept me busy and then Christmas break began, but now I am back. My grades ended up very well last semester, and I hope to repeat my success this semester (I won't say what I got). Anyway, my Christmas break had nothing too exciting to talk about. I worked in the kitchen at my home Chick-fil-A over break, and I had a lot of good times with my family and my closest friends. But, now I am back at Immaculata, and so far its been really good. I had the Freshman Retreat to start things off that I probably mentioned in my last few blogs, and I have to say that it was a great success!! I really got to know more of the freshman class and I grew closer to people who I had known already. We had many good times, including apples to apples, a campfire, and more!! But it was also a good spiritual refresher for next semester. As far as my classes so far, its been going well, and I know my history classes are going to be a lot of work. I have to wait to tell you about Spanish, because yesterday we had Evening classes CANCELLED!! woot!! anyway, just wanted to let you all know I am still around, and now that the school years up again, im here to blog!! Until next week!!
