OK, my friend Amber had this great idea to blog again.....I tried one time to make it 365 days blogging everyday, and after summer was over, I realized that my life gets so very boring. That being said, I am going to try to blog here AT LEAST once a week, some weeks it will be more. But, Saturday will be my day to blog, and so check in each Saturday, and see what has been going on in my week. With the exception of May 4th (college graduation day) I should be able to keep up! Enjoy!
I have sat all day and tried to come up with something that I felt would kick this blog off right! Finally, 11 PM and an idea finally hits me! I am students teaching and I am in my second placement right now! That being said, I have been a teacher to some of the funniest kids I have ever met!
First Placement:
1. There was a little guy in my first place who, when asked what he wanted to be, responded with "Miss Nicole's husband!"
2. One of my kids tried repeatedly to hook me up with his dad.
Second placement:
1. One of my little girls has told me repeatedly to "do this again with your face and hair!" I have not worn make-up, and my hair is generally pulled back. I don't know what I am supposed to do with my face that she seems to think is so pretty, but I found out this past week, that she loves when my hair is down!
I haven't been in my second placement long, and so I don't have many stories to tell yet, and there are probably a lot more with my first placement, I just cannot think of them at the moment!
On another note: I came across a quote yesterday or today (I can't remember) that really made me think and pretty well summed up my feelings about college: "the hardest part of accepting that 'everything happens for a reason' is trying to find that reason!" I got to thinking about all of the different things that have happened in college, and how I do believe that they are preparing me for later on in life, but nonetheless, college has been anything but enjoyable. to recap for you:
Freshman Year-
Gall Bladder surgery over Christmas Break
Masses in my small intestine second semester, that they still can't give an answer to
Sophomore Year-
Fell off the stage resulting in wearing a walking boot for 17 weeks
Isaac was born early, and spent 6 weeks in the NICU
Had my first accident :(
Junior Year-
Foot problems all year
Knee problems all year
Random foot swelling on Branson that led to three different braces for the foot and eventually....
Surgery 5 weeks before returning to school for my senior year
Senior Year-
returning on a newly recovered ankle
realizing I came back and I should not have, because I was not recovered totally
Hope passed away (35 days old)
Knee surgery
continuing to spend the full first semester in a walking boot
*keep in mind, this is all first semester thus far
10 year anniversary of grandma's murder
knee problems on the left side now
back pain
continued and more aggressive ankle pain
walking boot for the first 8 weeks of second semester
found out tonight that my Aunt Sharon passed away as well, but is in Montana and we will be unable to attend the funeral
all in all, it has been pretty terrible, but I realize that ti is all part of a grander picture, and that one day it will all make sense. I just need to remember to "trust in advance, what will only make sense in reverse!"
