Going to miss Hillside so much!

It is coming to the end of the 40 hours of observation that I needed for ED 340 this semester, kind of sad. I have had the best experience of my life so far and I am really going to miss the class, especially my supervising teacher. She has been such a great help to me and has really taught me so much! Doing my field work has not been a drag at all, I have really enjoyed it. My supervising teacher has invited me to continue coming for the rest of the school year to work with the kids! On Monday, when I was there, she gave me subbing papers for the school for me to fill out when I finish this semester. I can't wait to legally sub! I am already planning on going back to the school for the play that the entire first grade class performs, I am helping the students learn their parts and I am also making costumes! I think the thing I am most excited for is the field trip I am going on with my class! We are going to Jenkinson's Aquarium and I am super excited! I have not been here since I was a little girl. I used to love it there and this day will be so much fun!

I am thankful for everything that has happened to me just through my observations. I learned a lot, got to do some really cool and fun things, and best of all had a great time doing it all. I really don't want this experience to end! Never thought it would be so enjoyable waking up early and spending hours on end in an elementary school then going to class...I was definitely wrong! I want to get my supervising teacher a little present, does anyone have any ideas?! Please help me!

LUKE BRYAN AND JASON ALDEAN CONCERT!!

BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE! Not only did I get to go to see to of my favorite country artists but I got to spend the entire night with one of my best friends, Nicole! I'll start from the beginning...do not let Nicole give you directions even when you are following a gps because she will tell you that the gps is wrong! Getting to the concert was an interesting drive blasting music all the way there and almost getting lost was the best part. When we got there bought our t-shirts right away no delaying that for sure. When we got to our seats, we were AMAZED at how good our seats were! We had the perfect view!

Lauren Alaina opened up, only the two of us didn't really know any of her songs. Pretty bad on our part! Then up next was LUKE BRYAN he is our ABSOLUTE favorite country artist ever! We honestly thought we were going to faint when we saw him come on stage! Of course he opened with one of our favorite songs, Rain is a good thing! His performance was so fantastic! I loved every minute of it. I don't think there was one song he sang where we didn't know the words! I will love Luke Bryan forever...along with the millions of other girls that listen to country music!

I gotta admit I did not want Luke Bryan's set to end but Jason Aldean was also so very amazing! Definitely did not know as many words but still so enjoyable! During his set is when people next to us got a little too drunk and kept bumping into us! We felt a little squished together, kind of like we were sharing one seat. Jason Aldean's music definitely is a different type of country than Luke Bryan's music. Given the fact that I like pretty much all country music made for a pretty great night!

This was only my second country concert in my lifetime but it is probably one of the best concerts I will ever go to in my life! Not only was the music great but we had great seats and I got to spend the entire night with a person I love so much! Nicole definitely makes things more enjoyable! If any of you ever get to know her like I do, shes completely hilarious and she really doesn't mean to me! Best part of the night was when Luke Bryan made a noise that sounds like Nicole's trademark sound! Only his sounds more like a cat purring and she sounds more like an Indian yelling! I hope everyone else there had as much fun as we did! Happy 21st birthday Nicole!<3 I hope you enjoyed it!

BEST NIGHT EVER!<3
