I attended a meeting yesterday for first time field experience for future teachers. I will be observing in a classroom twice a week until I reach a minimum of 30 hours. We don't have to start until Feb. 15, but I'm starting on Tuesday. I'm really excited. I called my teacher on Friday, and we agreed that Tuesdays and Thursdays would be good days for me to come. It doesn't seem possible that this is actually happening. I still feel like I should be taking general education classes, but I'm embarking on a step that will affect my future career.
I will be in a middle school, but that's okay because I know that teaching is teaching. I can still learn about how to teach English even if I'm not in a high school. For my next round of field experience, I will be in a high school. I do have a busy schedule this semester, but it is not as busy as last semester. I'm still working on the newspaper staff, and writing is still fun for me.
I am going on a mission trip at the end of May, and I'm thinking about knitting and crocheting scarves and hats to raise money for my trip. I have to have a certain amount of money by the first of February, and I know I won't have it, but God teaches me to trust him everyday that he will help me raise this money. I know I'm going on this trip for God's glory, so I know that he will provide.
I've been back in town for over a week now, and it doesn't even feel like I was gone for almost five weeks. I love not having a roommate, but sometimes it does get lonely. I miss having someone hug me everyday and tell me that they love me, like it was at home. But on the other hand, I have the freedom to do what I want in my room without having to ask anyone. So there are pros and cons, but I'm learning to love it.
It snowed here yesterday, but I ended up getting around to go to a birthday party today so it wasn't too bad. I'm going to church tomorrow at a new church that is a church plant off of a city about thirty minutes from here. The college ministers from the church I've gone to for about a year moved to this church, so I'm excited to try it out. I love the college ministers. I've been at their house a lot lately. Their door is always open, and they are so awesome; some of the most loving people I've ever met.
Well, not a lot more to share. God keeps showing me how much he loves me and how wonderful his plan is for me. I grow to love him more everyday.
I hope this next week is good for you. Until next time.
