i got a dream...

inspired tonight by The Freedom Writers..........
where to go from here?

hello, blog

hello, blog, nice to be reaquainted with you.
--funny, it seems like most people seem to have taken a blog sabbatical recently. must be the changes of the seasons, or rather, that busy thing called life.

life's been busy here but i'm excited to say that i've been getting more sleep lately and along with that i've been feeling sort of sane, and thinking that perhaps this year will end a whole lot better than what i originally thought it would. i'm in a new student teaching placement which one could consider the light at the end of the tunnel... to say the least. my cooperating teacher is a saint. ok, she's not REALLY a saint, i mean, she's Lutheran, after all, but you can imagine. i've been there only a few weeks or so but already i've learned so much from here and from the school in general. i'm finally enjoying this experience, thanks to God-- i might actually use my teaching license someday. novel concept, huh.

lots more going on in life, but i'm sure you know what it's like to be consumed by one thing and one thing only. that thing is typically school, although i admit that it's nice not having to be reading hundreds and hundreds of pages a week, and going to bed at 4am like a typical semester for me. however, i do miss being a student in that sense. it's crazy, i know. but at the same time i'm anxious to be considered something more than just "another college student."

what's coming up for me, in a nutshell: graduation just a little over a month away. (i can't wait to have my family all here with me for the first time ever!!!!!!!!) teaching summer school at indep-- oh i hope so! spending time in guanajuato for as long as i can-- oh i hope so! working at the ISA office while i'm there-- oh i reeeeeally hope so!!!!!! heading to the border a bit after that-- oh i hope so, oh i think so! as you can see, nothing definite here. but that's OK. God's preparing something for me and i know it'll all work out in the end. i think i've done what i can on my end, now i just have to play the waiting game-- the game i typically hate-- but i'm trying to tell myself that it can be a fun game if i just let it be.

hope to be posting some pics up soon. stay in tune!
love you allll............
