Long Time, No See

Wow, it has been a long time. Not much has changed in my life. I'm still going to school at SUU. This semester I am doing my practicum at Cedar High. For those who do not know, a practicum is where I go observe a class once a week. I absolutely love it! I got to teach semicolons to a few classes the other day and almost had a heart attack because of how nervous I was, but I lived. It was a great experience and I loved every minute of it. I can't wait to student teach next semester. I don't know where I'll be student teaching yet, but I asked to be placed up in Utah County so I can be closer to my friends and family. Cedar is great and all, but I'm ready to move on from here.

You may be wondering what I do with my life besides school. Here's the shortened version:

This summer I turned 22! My amazing friends kidnapped me and made me breakfast at midnight. It was the best birthday ever.

 

For Reals. 

 

I've watched 7 full TV shows in the last year (30 Rock, Lost, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, The Office, The IT Crowd, Parks and Rec, and Galavant) 

 I've avoided a lot of people (which doesn't really help my love life, but hey, you win some you lose some). Don't scorn me too badly for being antisocial, I have made really good friends within the last year.

 

I'm currently reading Life of Pi by Yann Martel. It's amazing and I suggest everyone read it. I was worried I wouldn't like it because the movie wasn't my favorite. I thought it was beautiful, but a bit slow and boring. I saw it again and liked it more, but that's not the point. The point is this book is great and you should go read it ASAP.

Most importantly I have learned this:

  

I really struggled this last few years loving myself. But with great support from friends and family I have learned what a great person I am. Now it sounds like I'm bragging, but I'm proud of who I am. Some days I acknowledge that I'm not the best person, but I still acknowledge that that's who I am. Sometimes I'm going to suck, and that's okay. What matters most is that I'm okay with that, which makes me great at the same time.

So that's the rundown. I've kind of missed blogging so maybe I'll take it back up again. Who knows.
