Last blog post!

This is my last blog post! I thought I was never really going to get into blogging...but I was definitely wrong. I ended up having a lot of fun writing blog posts every week! In a way, it's kind of an expanded twitter to write about everything in your life. It was nice to have a place to talk about every thing I have done this semester. Blogging became a part of my life and it's going to be weird not doing it anymore. Who knows, maybe I'll keep blogging but most likely, I will get too busy to continue. Well, it was nice well it lasted. Bye Bye ED 447 bloggers!

My first field trip...as a chaperone!

Today was a great day...even if it started off at 6 am! Today was the day I FINALLY went on the field trip with the class I did my field work with! We went to Jenkinson's Aquarium and oh was it fun! Who knew that going to a tiny aquarium could be so much more fun with a bunch of first graders?! On the bus, and I would just like to thank Prof. Charsky for this, I sang songs with the students because they were getting a little too out of control! Never thought that class would actually come in handy one day! When we got to the aquarium almost everybody had to go to the bathroom...now that took up more time then our actual tour of the aquarium its self. So since I was a young volunteer and none of the other chaperones wanted to do it...I got to feed a shark! The kids were all amazed and thought it was the coolest thing ever...I got to admit that I kind of agree! When we were eating lunch at Jenkinson's pavilion, I noticed two little kids from another class I was with running out of the pavilion! I immediately started following them and everyone was wondering why I was running! Then more people started to realize and started to chase after the two boys too! I think we must have ran for almost a mile down the boardwalk until we finally caught up to them! What a crazy experience that was. On the bus ride back the students were all so tired they all fell asleep! It was a nice chance to relax after a nice workout! Overall it was a great field trip and I really enjoyed it! It was not only fun but a great learning experience!

Work work work

This past week I have had no life...like at all. I have been swamped with work and it still just never ends, seems like I will be doing work until the very last day of school! By this time of the semester, I usually have all my assignments done. I really don't understand why this semester my work load is CRAZY! I feel like I have done so much work just this weekend alone that its never going to end. On top of the work I have for all my classes I have been babysitting to earn more money! Currently sitting here typing this with a 6 month old baby next to me and the 3 year old in bed...so cute but so much work! Besides all the babysitting, I have still been working at the ice rink teaching lessons! Besides the fact that I barely see my friends anymore, I never get sleep either. The lack of sleep, the amounts of work, the no free time, it all adds up to make me want to cry. I have just been way to stressed out lately and it's really not healthy. I can't even say that I am looking forward to the semester ending just because it leads into me taking two night classes until the end of June! So much to do so little time! I definitely have good time management skills but sometimes it just doesn't seem to be enough lately. Anyone have any good advice for not stressing about everything? I could really use it at this point! I just want to relax!! Does anyone else feel this way?
