I am ready for a break from the busyness of school. I have def. over done myself this semester, between 3 jobs, teacher aiding, an 16 credit hours, along with homework, UMIN stuff, and friends. I feel as if I am being stretched in 90 different directions, and I am wearing thin. I have applied for a job with district 200 for this summer, It is just a school district in Wheaton IL and I applied to work with thier special needs summer school. I have yet to hear back from them, and I am worried/anxious about that. I know I have other job options for the summer if needed, but not particuarly ones I really want...aka...working at Giordanos and my dads office.. those are the secure fall back jobs. :)
While I am ready for the break from the busyness of school, I am really going to miss seeing my friends everyday, seeing my RA and RD, and my roommate. What great relationships have been made, and it is going to be hard to be separated from everyone for 3 months... not that we wont talk and such...but not being able to just walk down the hall and into a friends room, or going down the street to a friends appt. is different than calling just to say hey. you know? Plus, while I enjoy being home, I find it to be quite stressful. It is hard to be at home and see my mom everyday going through what she is. I like to be at school where I am somewhat separated from it, not that I dont worry about her when I am at school, because I do tremendously, but to be at home,a nd to be surrounded by stress and anxiety everyday is hard. does this make sense? MOm just isnt mom anymore. and it hurts to see that, and to realize that. it hurts alot.
Northpark has been good for me this year. I have made some amazing friends who really know me, and love me, and support me, and I really know, love and support them. I think I am at a time in my life where a transition is happening. from really not knowing too much about myself as a human to really begining that journey. and while that is exciting, it is scary as hell also.
I registered for my classes for the fall...this is what I am taking
writ 2100- tutoring writing( this is for my job as a writing advisor)
educ- Methods in art for elementary teachers
EDUC- Methods in science k-4
EDUC- Methods in reading, language, social studies k-4
EDUC- Methods of math k-4
Soc- Intro to sociology
STAT- intro to stats
7 classes total... looks like next year will be quite busy... :)
luckily not all of those classes are a full semester, so I will not have all 7 running at one time, some are for the first 8 weeks, and a couple are for the last 8 weeks, only 3 are a full semester... not too bad i suppose!
well, I have procrastinated studying for my spanish test long enough... yes...the test in in 35 minutes and I have yet to figure out what chapter I am in... ok...so its not that bad... but its close. :)
