30-something teacher trying to figure it all out

January 5, 2018

October, November + December 2017

Hello all and happy new year! Time for another “monthly” update.

October Highlights

-Had my bachelorette party. We kept it pretty low key and I’m grateful for the ladies that made it out (I may have picked the worst weekend possible–sorry friends).

-Started seeing a counselor at the university. It’s amazing and changing my life.

November Highlights

-First major practicum. This means I got to be in a school with real live children teaching them things for 60+ hours. On top of regular classes, job and mentoring (and wedding planning). 🙂
