2012-2013

I know I haven't written in a while, but that is just because there has not been much going on in my life except for school, work, and sorority life. Well this semester I started Block 1. This is the start of the teaching program here at ESU. That means that I have 3 semester left of my college career. WOW! Is that crazy or what? I am nervous but also excited. I am nervous to be out of college and on my own, but I am excited to teach kids. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in the second grade. My second grade teacher was amazing. i wanted to be just like her. She was very kind to all of us in her class. Over break, I went to visit my elementary school and all the teachers that I had were so happy for me and told that if I needed anything to let them know or when I started my student teaching to see if I can get them as my mentor teacher. I love having connections to teachers and other people who work in schools.
In my sorority, things are going great. This year, I got a new Little. Her name is Kayla. She is amazing and crazy in the good way. We have a good time together just hanging out watching movies.

For Christmas I got a tablet and found this really cool app on it. It has all the daily readings, Liturgy of the Hours, an interactive Rosary, and lots of prayers on it. I have started doing Liturgy of the Hours on this week. It is so easy to use because it goes in order of what you read for it. 

The one thing that I am looking forward to this semester is KCCSC, which is Kansas Catholic College Students Conference (Convention). It is in Wichita this year and I know a lot of people who are planning it, because they go to WSU. It is a whole weekend with speakers, Adoration, a dance, and other things. This will be my third year of going. It is a lot like DCYC that Wichita puts of for high school Catholics in the diocese.

Until next time,
