The End of a Great Year

Since I haven't blogged for a while, expect a series of blog posts to catch up on everything! :) Lots of pictures in these posts, as well. I didn't put up as many Christmas decorations this year, as I was very busy finishing up my degree. I am officailly a college graduate, now! Yea! :) I now have a B.A in English and Secondary Education. With any luck, I should be able to gain a teaching position in August. In the meantime, I plan on subbing as much as possible.

Mo and I have been enjoying the wonderful Fall weather. This semester of student-teaching went pretty quickly, despite the terrible KPTP assignment. Somehow I made it through it, along with passing all licensure exams, successfully.

Yes, another picture of ME. Haha. Anyhow, I was having an absolutely wonderful hair day and that is what prompted the pic. Since then, I have dyed and cut my hair, but nothing drastic. :)

This is the picture of my tree without any ornaments, I only put on a few this year, since we left for a week right after Christmas, and I didn't even get the tree up until a week before Christmas. An upside of less decorations is that it is easier to put up after it is all over.

Okay, I need to get off the computer for a bit. Stay tuned for more pictures from December 2011. :)

Silver Bells. Jingle Bells. School Bells.

Brrrr....It is finally snowing outside. It is absolutely gorgeous, of course. Snow is one of my favorite things, as long as I don't have to go out in it to work. Luckily, I am about to graduate college with a degree that will insure that I stay inside during the winter. Good planning, right?
Anyhow, it has been a little while since I blogged, as I have been super busy trying to finish everything up for the semester. This is my last week teaching, so I should have more time for blogging, woodcarving, cooking, and anything I so desire. Still haven't heard anything on the job I am seeking. Winfield High School has posted an opening for an English teacher which would start in January. I submitted all of my application materials on Friday, so I am praying that I will hear something soon. If not, I can always substitute teach. Now, for some bad news. Yesterday was a pretty crummy day. I had to take our puppy, Hemi, to the vet. Kip (my vet) said that Hemi had most likely gotten into some rat poison, which means it is No Bueno. Poor little guy. Hoping to hear some good news about him, this morning. Will keep my fingers crossed.
Well, I should probably return to doing something productive, or semi-productive...To heck with it, I think I will just read a book....
