Happy and Heartbroken

Let's start with the good, which may also show up later as the bad.

I am finishing up my undergraduate degree this summer as well as starting into my graduate program. It's thrilling and scary to finally be done and get a job that actually pays me some money. Speaking of jobs, I got one! I will be working in a self-contained unit at an elementary school in the school district where I grew up. I was really nervous I wouldn't pass the Praxis, but I actually did pretty well, so I can rest easy about keeping the job I just got.

I also just changed the channel to an Alaska documentary, which makes me slightly happy. Oh, and Becca and the boys got to come visit for almost two weeks and it was really nice to have them staying at the house.

And that's about it on the happy front. It's exciting to feel like a real grownup.

On to the bad stuff.

I'm really nervous about my first year of teaching. I'm sure everyone feels like they just aren't going to cut it, and I'm no exception. Hopefully I will figure it all out with little effort. I'm also scared to be teaching my first year and going to grad school. I'm not sure I can cut it. At this point, I'm not sure why I applied for grad school. And when I got accepted, I'm not sure why I accepted the acceptance.

I'm sad to be leaving Bekah too. I'm hoping I can find time to work with her next school year. I have been working with her for 9 years now. She's one of my best friends and I am so used to seeing her a couple times a week.

So there is the update on my life. Hope you enjoy it.

I'm famous! Well, I'm pretty sure I will be anyway. Maybe not...

I'm famous! My (newly ex'd) boyfriend's famous too! My friend Jen too! (she shot the video)
