Finals Week

Hello Everyone,

I can finally say Merry Christmas because it is December and that is exciting. Since it is December my semester is wrapping up. I am in the process of getting ready for Final's Week (also known as a College Students nightmare). I am a little stressed right now. I will not be posting until my finals are over (if there is anyone who actually reads my blog). Over winter break I am going to try to post more frequently, which I know it is not hard to post more than I have been. But this has been my first semester in the upper level of my program and there was definitely a learning curve.

I will have a lot of posts in the rest of December (after finals) because I love this time of year. I will have posts about how I celebrate with my friends and family. I might be able to sneak the friends one in during finals week if I finish some of my finals early and am able to study without being too distracted.

I also am planning on trying to find a schedule to work with next semester. I am hoping once a week trying to get a blog up, but it might be once every other week.

If you have any blog posts you would like me to do, please leave a comment! If you want to hear my opinion on something or learn a little bit more about me just let me know.

Merry Christmas,
                            Bekah

50 days Left

There are fifty days left in this semester (or so  I have been told). Which to me is unbelievably exciting and scary. I am at the point in the semester where all I want to do it lay in bed, watch movies, and sleep. That being said I am also in the point of the semester where I have five billion things to do. So those things sadly do not go together. But I just ask that you pray for me and I will try to get on a schedule for posting soon. I have a few posts to do I just have to take the time to sit down and write them. Which is something I am very short on right now.

At Least I am Sure

If this semester has not taught me anything else it has made me sure that I want to be a teacher. I am sure that next semester will cement this even more. I have a ton of work this semester in my classes and one of my classes is awful. BUT I have never considered that I should not be going for Early Childhood Education. I know that it will be more than worth it when I have my own class of crazy kids around me. A lot of my bigger projects are starting to have some of the pieces come together which is nice. It makes me feel a little better about the work load that I have. I also always feel like I need to be completing homework which sucks. I know that many of my finals this semester are projects and I already know what they are. This makes it feel like I should always be doing some sort of homework. This can make trying to enjoy my free time kind of hard.

If you have anything you would like me to write about please let me know and I will get to it as soon as possible.

Relaxation

My largest project of the summer at work is done and I couldn't be more excited. I have been working on stuff non-stop for the past three weeks. It felt so surreal last night when the event was over and I didn't have to worry about it anymore. So now the rest of my summer will be one million times more relaxing.

But I am also still a little stressed because all my friends from college are coming to stay at my house this weekend. Trying to get everything ready for five people on top of everything else I need to do has been a little stressful.

Sorry I haven't posted more but I just don't have anything to say.

Just a bit of Stress

As the year comes closer to a close I find myself getting more and more stressed. I always feel like I have to be doing homework or studying. I am also getting annoyed with smaller things. I interviewed for the second portfolio I have to complete and the lady said they would be graded in a week. That was two weeks ago and she has not even opened mine yet to begin to look at it. I do not care that it takes a while but do not make promises that you cannot keep. Another professor has not emailed me back about some very important things that I need to know about very soon.

It is funny though how the people who realize you are stressed are often not the people who are closest to you. Today, one of the guys in my science class asked if I was stressed because I just seemed a little tense. This is interesting because none of my friends noticed it and I was able to say yes I am kind of stressed.

As the year comes to a close I am excited because I need a break but, I am also freaking out because I have quite a bit to get done. That is okay though I am not super far behind, I will have enough time. Now off to work and then to do make homework. The joys of being a busy college student.
