it's about time!

So...I know it has been a long time since I blogged and for that I am sorry. I knew this would happen to me...I just don't ever know what to write about! So this has the potential to be a long post...sorry! There are just a lot of things going on in my life right now, and many things that I have not yet shared with the blog world...

Something I find very exciting is the fact that I have completed my Student Teaching Abroad application and my regular Student Teaching application...I have turned both of these in and will know sometime in November where I am going to be student teaching and I cannot wait! Hopefully I will be in Ireland, or even Germany. I didn't think that I wanted to live in a non-English speaking country for 4 months but the COST director assured me that I would be placed in an English speaking school. She swears that Cologne in Germany has the best COST program for my major and that people usually do not have trouble with the language difference in their daily lives there. So I have entertained the thought of Germany and decided that I would still go if I was placed there. I've already been praying about my placement a lot, so I feel confident that wherever I get placed, that is where God wants me to go. I feel so excited, I cannot wait to find out where I am going!

The prospect of going abroad in January brings about the need to move back in with my parents...Now this I am not necessarily looking forward too. It does make the most sense money and lease wise, but its still not the most ideal situation. I move out of the apartment I have been living in for the past three years in about a month and that I find extremely crazy! The same 5 girls have lived in this house for such a long time, it is weird to think about not living with these people anymore and not seeing them everyday. We have to be out of the house by May 31st, but I am leaving for a cruise on the 22nd and need to have all of my stuff out by the time I leave, which is only like 4 weeks away. Do you know how much crap you develop in a house over three years time? A LOT! It is going to be a big task moving all of my stuff and cleaning everything!

Like I said, I am moving back into my parents house. However, I am moving into the basement and get to completely redo the bathroom and bedroom! This weekend I got the majority of my bathroom finished and I helped my mom clean out the closet off of the bedroom; which was quite an interesting experience since there was a lot of crap in there! I am very excited about my bathroom though... I still need to get a few little things but for the most part it is complete!

Well...seeing as how I have a ton of school work I should be doing, I think its time that I start on that. Hopefully I will be on here again shortly and not go 4 months again before blogging!
