Well, it looks like I am unknowingly sticking with this routine that I was hoping not to get sucked into, but I have. Looking back, I have not blogged as much as I wanted to, but I do have to give myself credit as to why I am so far behind- school, interning, exams, moving out of the dorm, moving into my parents house, moving back out into my new apartment, settling in, unpacking, etc. I believe you get the picture.
This past semester ended well. I've completed all of my finals and classes and still have a couple of weeks off until the summer session starts. The internship at Jamestown MS ended well. Though I don't foresee myself interning and student teaching there during this upcoming school year, it was a fulfilling experience that opened my eyes to the many wonders of teaching Language Arts to 8th graders. For that, I have fallen in love with this concentration.
During the break thus far, I moved out of my dorm (not the best living experience this year, but at least I can say that I have done it), and moved into my parents guest room for 9 days. To go from a small room + roommate + twin bed experience to a queen size bed + no roommate + own bathroom lifestyle was amazing. It was great to actually get my own space before moving, ONCE AGAIN, back to Greensboro into my first apartment...
The apartment life, though I have only experienced it for 3 days, has been a true adjustment. I have not adjusted completely to the quietness of the entire place, but it's growing on me. Additionally, my roommate and I already have something in common... our names. Katie O'Donnell and I are actually on the same Middle School team together at UNCG. Though we were not close friends before the move, I do feel like living together for the next year will bring us together.... tune in for pictures of the place as I unpack my life into my new home :)
