RELIEF!!!!

So yeah I got all my artifacts, and all the standards to go with the artifacts on my portfolio!!! All I need to do is make my title page, and do my professional growth, and just make sure I reflected on all the artifacts (I know I didn't but that shouldn't be too hard I at least have a start on all of them) and I will be FINISHED!!!! So I hope to finish up tonite. That way tomorrow I will be free!!! YAYYYYYY!!!!!! THANK YOU GOD YOU ARE AWESOME! And thanks Vanessa for helping me!

Portfolios were dreamt up where the sun don't shine.

That is all.

I feel grubby

I didn't take a shower yesterday or today... but who cares I'm not going out anyways... actually the real reason is the majority of my clothes currently are in residence of all four washers in Hessler. Because I haven't done laundry in a while. I plan on doing only one more load of wash before I go home though. Then I can get ALL of my clothes washed for free when I go home for spring break.

Well today is the day I get (unrealistically all, more likely most, most likely some) of my ed. portfolio done. I have to get this done, I did only one thing on it yesterday and that was attach my essay, making the official artifact count stand at 8 out of a necessary 12. I'm going to go out of my mind. I learned from Kate yesterday that we need ANOTHER set of standards on there, which are exactly the same as the Millikin Teaching Standards except these are the ILLINOIS Teaching Standards... so if we have MTS 9f on there we need IL-PTS 9f as well since well they are the same. What the heck. It's so stupid. In addition we need the content area standards. I swear the ed department just wants to shove away teachers. Or put a huge strain on their love of teaching.

I just have a ton to deal with today in addition to the porfolio, I have other problems, and I'm a little stressed right now, because I don't know what to do.

I don't know where to start... I'd probably be in bed right now but I'm like emotionally drained and I can't sleep... WOW was that movie powerful... I cried like half the time. I mean I am just NUMB right now. I'll tell you one thing it definately puts my faith in perspective. It opened my eyes and had me do a double-take on some of the things I do. Wow my chest just feels HEAVY right now. I still can't explain it... this movie is just too powerful for words. There that explained it. Wow. wowwowwowwowwowwowwow.

As of right now.

Should I switch to livejournal or stay at blogger?
33 % for Stay at Blogger
25 % for I don't care I don't read your journal anyway
25 % for Do both!
16 % for Switch to Livejournal
0 % for Switch to something else

That is with 12 votes.

I'm going to see The Passion with Steph and some other friends (I don't know specifically who she invited them all) in about an hour, so I'm going to write an entry. ha.

IV Spring retreat is this weekend. For some reason, InterVarsity decides to schedule events at the worst possible times in my life, either when I am super busy with something, either performing or projects, or when I am flat out broke. If the thing was two weeks from now, when it was actually closer to spring, I'd totally do it. But this stupid education portfolio has to take precidence right now. Either hang out with people I really enjoy being for a weekend, or work on something that is really important for my future. Yeah the second has to. It sucks but it does.

That quiz I was making before was one I started last year and forgot about. I've added a couple of questions. I'm up to 5. I need pictures and descriptions, though. I hope it works fine. I need to make the pictures smaller. It's one about what character from the wizard are you, and I"m jsut taking pictures with my webcam from my tv. It may be done this weekend.

I'm up to 8 artifacts in my portfolio. I need 4 more! Give them to me!

Yesterday was awesome

So yesterday she IMs me, and asks me if I like her. And I'm like wait I wanted to ask you that. But anyway, I type yes and that was really hard but it turned out she likes me too! So we both are really happy that that finally is off of our chests. Anyway it isn't like we are gf/bf but we are going to see the Passion tomorrow night so that is awesome.

After I found out that I was so hyper and goofy for the rest of the day. I just wanted to tell everyone. But I didn't because I wasn't sure if she wanted it to be known or not. I just said "the girl I like likes me back." I only told my closest friends specifically. And I was singing the song "I'm so happy/feeling snappy/my life is rosy/I'm feeling comfy cozy" by I forget what band it is but I remember it was all over Q90 FM about 5 years ago.

So yeah I'm going to be happy for a while.

Once again, I'm thinking.

I'm once again considering moving to livejournal. Most of my friends are on it, and I like the thing where you can see your friends posts and stuff. But I like the freedom of changing things around on Blogger. It's just a thing.

I hate assignments and homework and being required to do all this crap and stuff for my major; portfolios, assignments, observations... BLAH. It's a wonder anyone gets out being a teacher successfully because of all they require of you to do. And they say that work is harder out tehre but then again you don't have to do a portfolio or all these assignments for different classes, you can concentrate on ONE THING and that is much easier for me to do. I wish it was more like that for college classes instead of jumping around and then I forget to look at the syllabus and write things down in my assignment book and then I forget we have assignments and then get screwed.
