time to update

Okay so it’s been what, over four months since I last posted. A lot has happened in the last four months! God has presented great challenges to me. Last semester was tough spiritually, but my grades turned out very good! I even made the Dean’s list! So I’m pretty excited about that. However, I certainly did not do it alone. I could not have gotten through last semester without the help of God! Now I’m into my second semester, wisdom toothless. Yes, I got my Wisdom Teeth out over Christmas Break, which really, wasn’t bad at all.

During January Term, I did a 100 hour Curricular Practicum at the South Carolina School for the Deaf and Blind (SCSDB). It was a great, but tough experience. It was quite the introduction to student teaching. I had to get up at 6 AM and I was done at 3:15, but that didn’t mean I was done for the day. I still had a lot of paper work, and I was working, which was also difficult. I was very exhausted all month. However, I learned a lot from the kids and about the content areas.

This semester, I’m taking: Audiology and Speech Science, Teaching Language for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, ASL 4, Manually Coded English, and Science for the Child. It is quite a busy Semester. I’m working a bit more hours now, so I stay pretty busy with school work, church, classes, and work. But this semester is going really well, and God has been granting me great JOY lately!

Well, that’s about all I have for now. Toodles!

a general update…

So, overall i’m doing better. God is slowly giving me more strength in my discernment. I went to Adoration the other day and just let God fill me with His spirit. Just to recenter myself because I was way overwhelmed and I just couldn’t take it anymore.

I’ve applied to a few jobs. I applied to Starbucks and they never called me back, even after I called them. I applied to the dining hall, and they didn’t call me either. And I applied to Bruster’s, I called them Yesterday and basically they said, “if we want to interview you, we’ll call you,” sort of rudely. So I said, fine, whatever, I’m done with franchises who CAN’T CALL PEOPLE!!!! ARGGH! Okay, so yesterday I went to Startex Learning Center, about 15 or 20 minutes away, depending on traffic, and applied there. The owner was really nice and is very willing to work with my schedule. They really need people with experience there, and I definitely have experience. So hopefully they’ll hire me. I’m getting tired and impatient with waiting. I need money, like now.

Big Sis/Lil Sis (a big Converse tradition) starts this week, and I’m a big sister this year, so I will be busy, and broke this week.

My roommate is amazing, and she’s helped me work through all this…actually we’ve helped each other…I’ve also got other really AMAZING friends who’ve been there for me, and I’m SO thankful for all of them! You know who you are…and thanks to you all!

Well, I need to go put my sheets and towels in the dryer and go get some dinner…toodles!
