Clear Divisions

Wow! That is really all I can say about how clearly defined the line is between elementary education and secondary education. Last night I had my ESL class and I sat down at a table with a couple of girls that seemed nice. One asked me my name and started carrying on a conversation...that is until she found out that I'm going into secondary ed and not elementary ed. She said, "so you don't know anyone in this class then, do you?" When I said no she ended the conversation and made it a point to not look at or associate with me the rest of the class. The other girls at the table did the same. When we were broken into groups of three, I didn't even hesitate to leave that table. The line was clear and I was not accepted. Simply because I am not going into elementary ed. Wow! We're all going to be teachers for heaven's sake...does it REALLY matter what grade? I had no idea the line was so defined until that conversation. I have now been informed. It's a shame they're making it that way. I thought they were nice. Oh well! Their loss :)

Other than that, school is evil. I don't mind going in the summer I don't think, but I really don't like these education courses so far. That worries me a little bit. I will say that last night's class was MUCH better than Tuesday nights...at least material wise. My teacher brought in the psychology application to education and that made me feel a little more at home. haha! I miss my psych and English classes. I wish I could have been able to get into a job with those without having to take education courses, but alas, there aren't many opportunities to become employed with those majors :)

It's Mother's Day weekend. Justin and I are going to MAKE something for our moms this year...YIKES! We're not exactly the creative types. We'll see how it turns out. I have two baby showers to go to as well and then a dinner Saturday night. I was going to have a race too, but the date was changed, so that opened my morning up a little more...well, except I filled it with going to my sister-in-law's soccer games! haha! Never a dull moment in this little gal's life!

Until next time--Ciao!

Almost made it!

Well, I have officially been accepted into the Education Program at Weber State University. I still ahve to get my background check and my finger prints taken, but I can't really do that until right before I start student teaching. The disappointing part of being accepted is I didn't even get a letter in the mail. I took my grades in from last semester last night before class and the girl went and made a copy of the acceptance letter...I didn't even get a REAL printed letterhead letter! Oh well, I guess. I made it in. Now I just gotta get back into the spirit of being in school. The farther I get into my education classes, the less I like them. haha. Go figure. I may be getting my masters sooner than I had expected! (just don't tell Justin...haha!)

Outdoor soccer starts tonight! Whoot whoot! I'm so excited/nervous. I'm going to be so messed up from indoor...some rules are just too different! But it will be fun. AND it's ACTUALLY a nice day for once!

Oh, we got the kitchen cleaned up a few days after the leak occurred. The problem seemed to be a simple fix, but the disaster left behind, not so much. Our floor is STILL like an ice rink, despite all the mopping we have done.

Justin and I have been trying to figure out some fun Mother's Day gifts...since that's on Sunday! It totally snuck up on us this year! If anyone has any ideas, let me know!

Until next time--Ciao!
