oh hey.
oh hey blog.
I think it’s about time I posted a little somethin somethin…I’ve been meaning to for weeks now. but, I think the reason I avoid blogging is a) I make excuses b) I forget and c) a combination of both a and b. I also have just been in a funk when it comes to journaling so that usually reflects in my blogging. let’s hope this improves. anywho…
-it’s OCTOBER! how and when did that happen? Not like I’m complaining because it’s about to be prime time for fall here soon but oh my word. the semester is going by so fast!
-since it’s october that means fall break in 11 days. I can’t wait to go home…lay on the couch…eat my momma’s good food…spend time with the fam…watch some football…cheer on Kibbs in volleyball…get my hair chopped and best of all- go see BEN RECTOR in chicago! oooooh i cannot wait.
-speaking of fall, I’m going to pumpkin fest tomorrow with two dear friends. it’s a festival…and it’s pumpkins. seriously? how much better can life get?!
-my apartment is feeling quite fall-y these days…candles and pumpkins and wreaths. love it.
-I went to a baseball game and got a game bat from the bat boy. yeah, that was pretty cool I guess.
-I’ve been to two parades in the past month. i think parades may be a love language…just throwing that one out there…
-I am QUITE ready to get out of the college classroom and get into the actual classroom and teach. can i get an amen, methods 2 friends? Although…I have to say, this semester has been one of the best. I have the best little family in methods 2. and we have a words with friends bracket going on currently. AND we dance to beyonce on breaks. mmm yep i know you’re jealous. it’s okay.
-speaking of teaching…I’m going to be in a 2nd grade classroom for november and december, teaching science and math. The Lord must have a sense of humor because those kids don’t know what they’re getting themselves into with me teaching science and math (my two LEAST favorite subjects) but I will just be a good actress and ‘create an exciting climate in which my students can learn.’ indeed. I was able to meet them on Wednesday and they were so precious! (i say that about all of my classes…haven’t had a bad one yet!) Within 5 minutes of knowing me I was getting hand drawn cards, hugs and questions galore. oh, how I love teaching.
-I have realized over the past month or so how much I need my coffee in the mornings. I am such a terrible person without it…
-APEX XENIA STARTS IN 2 WEEKS! enough said.
-if you’re looking for a good book to read I recommend “Radical Together” by David Platt. it has made me think so much lately…and it’s funny how when you’re learning something, the Lord brings that same topic back up over and over. He’s good at that.
-I have been learning so much over these past two months that it makes my brain hurt. but oh goodness, it’s been so good for my soul. The Lord is so gracious and gentle with my stubborn heart. it has especially been good to not only learn things but talk about them with some of the dear friends that the Lord has placed in my life. ah, I am so blessed with such deep thinking people in my life! I’m going to be honest, there are some days where I’m not thrilled with this season of life I’m currently in (single, still in college with many friends not in school, graduating in 8 months with no clue what’s next), but when it comes down to it, I am so grateful for it. I am learning things as a single-college senior-not knowing what I’m going to be doing with my life in a few months woman that I know that I couldn’t learn in any other way. and for that I am thankful and content.
-i love college football. and now I will go watch it and leave you with some photos.
