Oh, Christmas

Oh, Christmas... This year has been the most frazzled crazy Christmas season that I have ever had...but it was wonderful... We had a great time with all of our amazing families and got to see almost everyone that we love. I got some pretty awesome gifts including a sewing machine that I have been wanting forever, a pink straighterner and hair dryer set, some clothes, a new Vera bag, a radar detecter, some shopping money and gift cards, and a georgous eternity necklace from my daddy. My mom didn't get to do her shopping before Christmas for us because Billy was in an accident and things got crazy at her house so we are going on a Christmas shopping trip in a few days. Josh got a TomTom from my dad that I have been trying really hard to steal.

Now that Christmas is over, I have ALOT of things to do before next Monday (January 4th) when I go back to school. Josh got a Mac with some really awesome recording stuff that he is going to set up in our computer room. So, we are going to rearrange that room and clean out all of the junk in there because I can't stand clutter. Then we are going to clean the house and take down all of our Christmas stuff. I hate it for Christmas decorations to stay up after Christmas. (at my house, I mean) It will drive me crazy until I put it all away. Then I am going to do all of the laundry and clean out our drawers and closets and take everything to the Hannah Home that we dont' wear. (...again, I hate clutter) We are also going to get rid of the big fish tank and I would like to get a pretty table to sit there and finally hang my painting that Tiffany bought me last year above it. Oh, I have to finish driving school and send in my certificate so that they don't come to arrest me! I'm going to shop for new clothes and shoes that I can wear for my internship and also for some sewing supplies....and I'm going to work on my sewing skills. :) I also am going to have to have my windshield replaced because it has two giant cracks in it and it is not very safe.... I think that might be all that I have to do...

Even with that crazy long list of things that I have to do before next Monday, I am going to take today off. I have just been running around so much lately that I haven't had a moment to breathe. So, today is my resting day. I will start on my list tomorrow. Josh gets home at four and we are going to go to Best Buy for him and Hancock Fabrics for me and then we are coming home to hang out and watch movies and be lazy! :)

End of the semester

Well, I have two tests until I am done with my classes. It's a really amazing feeling. This has been a pretty crazy week and I am so exhausted! Tuesday I had two big finals and I felt really good about both of them. Then Wednesday I went to school with my sister and she helped me with my unit. I worked so hard on the unit for about 15 hours straight! Seriously!! Then yesterday I went to class and took two more finals and turned in my awesome unit. I got an A on my unit and found out that I got an A in the class. That was great. Now I just have to make an A on two more finals and I will be done! I have had 21 hours this semester and have worked SO hard and it is now paying off as I am getting my final grades. I think that I will end with a 3.29 as my GPA for this semester. I got West Blocton for my internship and am so excited to intern with my kids from last year! I can't wait to start! I'm going to get some cute clothes for Christmas that I can wear to school. Everything is finally falling into place and I am just ready for May 7th to come! It's going to be an amazing year for me! I will intern then graduate in May. Then I am going to Disney World after graduation and then Chicago to see Brittany and Briana graduate from high school. Then when I get back I will get a job (at the high school) and become the varsity cheerleading sponsor. Then we will take the girls to camp then I will start my new career. (The part about working at the high school is a prayer!) I can't believe how blessed I am. I thank God everyday for my amazing life!

Internship placement

I just wanted to let everyone know that I got placed at West Blocton Middle School for my internship! I am so happy and thankful for all of the prayers that went up for me!

Almost done

It's Sunday night and I find out where I've been placed for my internship tomorrow morning...I can't wait! I have been praying for West Blocton since I first applied and it registered as one of my choices, so...maybe, just maybe I will get it! Aside from that, I have a week and a half of class left. I have six finals left and I took my aweful Russian final Thursday. I felt pretty good about it so, I'm just praying that I made a B on it and the paper. Tomorrow my whole Civil War class is going to lunch together. I am SO excited about that. I LOVE my friends from school. I wish that my school was here so that we could all still hang out after class is over, but after this semester, everyone will go their seperate ways into our internships and we will probably not see eachother again until graduation. :( It makes me sad! But, anyway, I get to come home tomorrow night because Olivia is in the Tuscaloosa Parade because she won the Little Miss Tuscaloosa pageant. So, after lunch, I guess I will come home and study and work on my unit. My unit is due Thursday and it is a BIG deal. Sadly, I haven't even started it. I know, it sounds bad but I have just been so busy. I have 4 finals this week. On Tuesday I have England and Britain and 20th Century Europe, then on Thursday I have French Revolution and Methods and my unit is due. Next week I will have my Civil War and Seinor Seminar finals and then I'm DONE! Wahoo! Next Thursday we are leaving for the mountains! We can't wait! Josh takes his ACT next Monday. We're ready to get him registered and started in the spring. It will be wierd for us to switch roles! I know Josh will do great if he just stayes focused on the future! Well, I guess that's all that's new with me this week. We have a SUPER busy December and it is just getting started. I am looking forward to getting together with my family at Christmas and being done with classes for good. That's going to be an amazing feeling!
