Finally after 2 whole months of dressing up 5 days a week I really miss wearing jeans and a t-shirt. This morning I had the classic feeling of I have nothing to wear and really just wanted to wear one of my favorite most comfortable t-shirts to school. But I can't because I'm the "teacher" Now as I'm writing this though I remember that a girl in one class told me that she liked my outfit. hmmm. That's kinda cool. But I still just want to wear my t-shirt.
An update on the student teaching: It's great. It really is. Some days are better than others but overall I never come home and just want to quit. I enjoy it. I'm getting to know the kids and it's fun to teach them. I'm still trying to find my own way of doing things which is hard and I like teaching the best when my teachers are out of the room. I can just be myself and don't feel the pressure of trying to do things the way that they would. I'm also trying to get some seniors who are interested in UIS to go there. Keep an eye out for anyone from Williamsville and ask if they know me. Also parent teacher conferences are tomorrow and Thursday. Now that's the scariest thing for me right now!
An update on the wedding: We bought (Tad bought, I am BROKE. I'm so broke I don't even have a checking account anymore) wedding bands yesterday! It's very exciting and I would recommend Roger's and Holland's to anyone wanting to purchase some sort of jewelry. We have had nothing but a pleasant experience there. I also fell in love with my engagement ring all over again. Invitations are going to go out soon so that's exciting but stressful. Who do you invite or cut from the list since there are only 150 guests that can come? It's crazy but I'm not worried about it.
An update on living at home: I'm ready to move out! Tad and I might go apartment shopping Friday!
That's about it. Let me sum up my feelings by saying that overall I feel very peaceful and relaxed about things getting done with both teaching and the wedding but overwhelmed with trying to live up to others' expectations such as teachers' and my mother's. It's all gonna be great though because I know that God is in control and I'm not and He is way more reliable than I am anyway.
