Beginning of School

Well school started on tuesday. And not to my surprise I couldn't really sleep monday night.. so I was a little tired.. :) School went good it was the usual first day. I already knew all the teachers I had and had them before. My schedule changed since I was taking teacher academy at the JVS. I was only able to take 5 classes to get there on time. Which made it so I couldn't take Trig and had to take Algebra II over again. I guess I don't really care about that that much because I know I totally slacked last year. So hopefully I learned from that :D I also wasn't able to take french II because it was only later in the day. So I took two years of spanish and one of french.. Besides that the first day at Grand Valley went pretty smoothly.

So now my new schedule is:

Personal Development/Resource management

English Lit Com

Psychology/Sociology

Algebra II

Am Govt/Economics

After that I headed to the Jvs. I was somewhat nervous about that because I didn't know what to expect or anyone that would be there. Now there are 8 people in our class. Our teacher is really nice and this is going to be her last year. So, now we're meeting at the JVS everyday until september 30th and then only on mondays and tuesdays for the rest of the year. Wednesday to friday we're doing internships at our schools. We have 6 total and they're about 5 weeks each or so and you have to plan a lesson for each. I already have some experience from last year going down to help the 3rd graders so I'm not too worried about that.

I've been undecided as to what I wanted to do and then when my teacher called me it just felt right so here I am! It kindof brought me down that my friend started laughing and saying I could never be a teacher. (well I was laughing too) She said that I have no patience and I would punch a kid and get fired. Haha well I totally don't think its that extreme!! I have to give myself props I've never punched anybody before and I definitely wouldn't do it to a kid! Everyone has their goals to accomplish and mine has always been to have more patience so what better way to do that? Plus I'm usually good at hiding it and not freaking out :) I haven't decided what grade or class or anything, but that's the point of the internship. Right now I'm considering 7th or 8th grade reading, or junior high history. Guess I will see what I think when I am finished. Haha it was so funny I asked my 1st period teacher when seniors last day was. She laughed and said they didn't know yet but she would let me know. She said I was planning for the future I was like Yeah!!! :) Counting down already!! :D Gonna try to miss less days this year.

summer is ending!

Bad idea to type a blog now because I keep spelling things wrong so hopefully it won't be too bad!! I cannot believe how fast this summer went by its crazy! I didn't do anything that interesting but it was still good. Working definitely helped fill up my schedule.. In a good and bad way. Everyone said, well if you didn't have a job you wouldn't have money. When I think about well then I wouldn't have had money to spend so I wouldn't have right? Oh well. I guess I will be working somewhat during the school year too. Depending on how busy they are. They hired 4 people this summer and one was fired, another one was only there for the summer, and I have dibs over the person that's there. I'm pretty torn there.. I already don't like school so I'd like all the free time I can get ;) My manager is taking a vacation so it will definitely be weird without her. I'm working a lot the next two weeks. I work the first day of school and then all that weekend. ew, but then I'll be 17!!! Hopefully I don't work on my birthday.. Then labor day weekend going to WV for a family reunion. Be good to get out of OH I've been trying to all summer but couldn't decide where. Now its too late.. I totally don't feel like I'm about to be a senior. I'm so undecided about everything. I just need to figure out what I want to do already! Oh, today was interesting at work. We actually got pretty busy. Which I prefer over being slow that so boring. Well my boss came in so my manager went on a run because the other guys weren't back yet. So, that left me with my boss pretty weird and intimidating haa. I told my manager thanks when she got back and she just laughed at me. haa.

I have a new favorite song. Its If today was your last day by Nickelback.
My best friend gave me the best advice He said each day's a gift and not a given right Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind And try to take the path less traveled by That first step you take is the longest stride If Today Was Your Last Day and tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past Donate every dime you have? If today was your last day Against the grain should be a way of life What's worth the prize is always worth the fight Every second counts 'cause there's no second try So live like you'll never live it twice Don't take the free ride in your own life If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past Donate every dime you have? Would you call old friends you never see? Reminisce of memories Would you forgive your enemies? Would you find that one you're dreamin' of? Swear up and down to God above That you finally fall in love If today was your last day If today was your last day Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart? You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars Regardless of who you are So do whatever it takes 'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life Let nothin' stand in your way Cause the hands of time are never on your side If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past Donate every dime you have? Would you call old friends you never see? Reminisce of memories Would you forgive your enemies? Would you find that one you're dreamin' of? Swear up and down to God above That you finally fall in love If today was your last day.

The lyrics are amazing too! Its on my playlist.
