Hallelujah

Well, I am finally finished with student teaching. I know lately my posts have seemed a bit desperate and all, but I really enjoyed my time at Highlands.

Professionally, this semester has been extremely productive. I have developed my teaching techniques and learned so much about my career. Personally, however, these past few months have been H - E - L - L. Ok, maybe it was not that bad; but I wasn't very happy outside of school.

It's kind of weird. I had fun teaching and being Mr. Fay; I really liked the students (some of them anyway); I spent time with my friends and stayed involved with C!. Despite these positive aspects, I still felt like I was trapped. Since I spent so much time on school stuff and scheduled time for work, C!, and friends, I had no time for me or my personal well-being. I haven't touched my financial statements that have been coming each month; I haven't taken my car to be fixed from the fender-bender in September yet. And so on...

Right now, I need to chill (which thanks to my friends was possible this weekend), get my things in order (especially my room & checking account), and go Christmas shopping.

That's all for now!!
