You know that feeling when you are working so hard on something like a million assignments, but after 4 whole days of working you still don't feel like you have accomplished anything? Well......... That is me at this very moment! I can't hardly see straight from staring at the computer screen for so long. But its just before midnight, so that means I probably have another 2 hours of work ahead of me.
I think I have come up with a strategy.
When you have a mountain of stuff that needs to be accomplished here's what I recommend doing:

-Make your "To Do" list as detailed as possible. If you have 9 of the same type of things to do, don't list them as one task. Make each one significant. That way when you finish one, you can feel the accomplishment of marking something off your list.
-Have some variety to your work. If you have a 3,000 word summary to write, don't try to finish it all at once. Break it up with some smaller task like writing out chapter key terms or a lesson plan.
-Pace yourself! be sure to give yourself plenty of time to accomplish everything you need to, but don't rush through it and do a sloppy job.
-Stay focus. 'Nuff Said. This one isn't easy. If it was, I wouldn't be writing this blog right now.
-Perseverance, Perseverance, Perseverance. You WILL accomplish everything. Just hang in there!

Thanks for Thanksgiving

I would like to thank my teacher, who has piled up so many assignments for me that I have pretty much been working from sunday until now. This is my second 2AM night in a row. The funny thing is that I am supposedly on Thanksgiving Break. I have made a list of everything (roughly) I have left to do:

-Book Report on a 400pg. Book
-Reflections
-Write 9 lesson plans
-Professional Reading #5
-Reading Chapter 11 Questions
-Methods Key Terms Ch. 9-14
-Special Education Reflection
-Special Education Summaries Ch. 10-12
-Bibliographies Part: F & G
-Big Book

Now, that may not sound that bad to you, but let me assure you it is very bad. On top of all this, I have to be sure I am ready for my test next week because they need to be good to help my grades. Tomorrow is a new day, and I shall see how much more I can accomplish.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Rain, Rain, Go Away. That's What All My Haters Say

Well... Today has been, in one word: indescribable.
let just say, today was attack tommy day and everyone knew it but me.
That whole aspect of november, 16th kind of upset me. But what is there to be done about that? except to just roll with the punches.
Fortunately no matter how many people i seem to annoy, i still have a good friend. A good friend to tell about all my stress. That is very nice. Those kinds of friends are real. Keep them close.

Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and you get hit. Just take the walk and don't complain.
GOD works ALL things together for GOOD!
Always just try your best and leave God the rest.

The End is Near!

This semester has really flown by... most of the time at least.
I can't believe that we only have two weeks of classes left, separated by a whole week of thanksgiving.
By the grace of God, everything has worked out so far, my ticket is booked. I am heading to San Cristobal de las casas, Chiapas, Mexico on December 8th. That date cannot get here fast enough.
I started my new job yesterday at the church. I was a little unsure of how it would go, but I know that God has His master plan. I am really looking forward to working with the youth.
Even though I am praying these next three weeks fly by I hope to make a lot of great memories along the way.

Chilly Chili's Night

Wow! Wednesday is already almost over! Today was pretty good too for the most part. I about had a mental breakdown in class. Silly me, I forgot my pencil. So my friend gave me a light blue pen which happened to be out of ink. I don't really have any idea why, but this about drove me insane. I was literally about to freak out! Tonight, I went with five other friends to eat dinner at chili's because we originally planned to go to the festival but it was cold and raining. While we were there the manager asked if we wanted chips, my awesome friend ask, "Are they free?" the manager said, "Yeah!" and my friend replied, "Well, YEAH!" Maybe you would have had to been there, but it was really funny!
Then, when we got back to the school, my other friend was walking and stepped right into a puddle that was about 3 inches deep.
Well, I am going to Mexico in just over a month! I'm so excited that this is actually working out.
God is Good

34

34... That number brings me so much hope, yet so much dread at the same time.
34 days until the end of the semester. We all know what that means, projects are due, assignments must be completed, observations are wrapping up and papers are being written. Lots and lots of papers.
Tomorrow is going to be Wednesday and I am festival hopeful. Then Thursday I will wrap up the week of classes and head home. Friday morning I get to go to the mountains of Northern Georgia with some really awesome people. I just hope that between now and then a lot of stuff get completed.
I have been trying, without much success, to plan myself a trip when school gets out in December, a month from now.
I really want to go back to Africa sometime, but there has been no answer. It's like I am knocking at the door and no one is answering. I wonder to myself if it is not in God's plan for me at this time.
Also, in a week and a half, I will start my new job at the church. I am really nervous about this because I feel inadequate, but God like to use the least likely, right?

I would like to take this time to apologize to a certain friend of mine. Today, I pulled a chair out from under her right as she was sitting down. The poor girl fell completely on the floor. Instantly,I felt like a horrible person.
So this is for you my friend.
