Harry Potter 30 Day Challenge

I'm going to do this 30 day challenge! As most of you know, I love Harry Potter...it's something that I grew up with and something that means a lot to me. Its hard to explain but maybe throughout this challenge I can explain. I will try to start this tonight or tomorrow but for now I need to get some homework done :)

Well...it's that time of the year. School becomes to much to handle so we keep putting things off (like I am right now) until the very last minute which stresses us out to the max. We all bitch about it to friends and anyone that will listen and put our stress all over Facebook for the world to see. Have I done this in the past? Yes I have. Do I like to do it? No, I hate it. If I'm stressed out about work, its most likely my fault for letting it get to that point and I shouldn't expect to get attention from others because they are going through the same things.

Everyday I get more annoyed with Facebook because it can get very depressing...people post every personal detail about themselves just so everyone can see and leave them a notification. It's not that I don't care about how people are doing, but is it really necessary to post a depressing status every hour just to get attention? Sorry, random rant but I'm getting to the point of this post. Instead of taking every depressing, stressful moment of your life and turning it into an even more depressing Facebook status...try turning the situation around! My favorite thing to do is to take a time out, put my headphones in, and just listen. I listen to a song that inspires me to keep going, to push through because everything is going to be OK. I've been wanting to share some of my favorite "pump up" songs for a couple of weeks so I thought that instead of working I would take a few moments to share because we're heading into week 3 of the semester! I don't focus on who is singing the song (you will understand when you see some of the artists), I focus on the lyrics and how they inspire me to push through.

If You're Going Through Hell

Go the Distance

The Climb

I Believe

These are only a few...I could keep going on and on and on about awesome "pump up" music. So next time, blast one of your favorite songs and just chill for a couple minutes then get back to it! Good luck as we head further into the semester.

Remember, if you're going through hell keep on moving, don't slow down...if you're scared don't show it!

XOXO

New Beginnings!

The beginning of 2011 is when I started this blog in hopes that I could write and document the events and thing everything that was going on in my life. Lets just say that didn't go so well...

So welcome 2012! I have no idea how we got this far so soon. There are so many exciting things that are coming up this year and next its unbelievable! My goal for this year is to share my experiences, write them down and let everyone know. I'm starting my student teaching next week and I want to share all of my educational experiences with whoever (if anyone) reads this. So cheers to my blogging future!

There's only a couple days left in my break and I have a ton left to do! I've been staying up to late and sleeping to much, getting back on schedule is going to be difficult! I have some shopping to do, a scarf to finish knitting, a book to finish reading, and some more fun to have!

I found this quote on Pinterest and I love it:

Long time...no post

Hello world- It has been a very very long time since I last blogged...shame on my part because there are so many amazing things happening in my life! I'm sitting up late on a Saturday night after being by myself and getting some work done all day and I feel like sharing something to anyone. I'm tired and I should just go to bed but I'm having a hard time moving from the couch. I have so much to write about that I'm not exactly sure where to start. I think that I am going to keep this one short and start fresh tomorrow or Monday. I think that writing stuff down more and documenting all of my experiences will be beneficial to me. Well I'm going to get some sleep (and extra hour because we fall back tonight)! 




 Until later....

Family Dinner!

My favorite night of the week is usually Thursday night when my friends and I have our family dinner! Kelly, Rachel, Morgan, Kristen, and I head over to A2 and enjoy a yummy dinner then some grey's and j-shore (depending on the night we might so some homework...haha not really).

Things will get better if you just hold my hand....

I don't have a picture to go with today, so I thought I would post a video instead.

I love music a lot and I'm one of those people who relates the lyrics to my life. I know thats kinda lame but if you don't really listen to the lyrics, try it some time. It might surprise you how much the lyrics speak to you. The song I posted is "Hold My Hand" by Michael Jackson ft. Akon. I know some of you right now and going "OMG Michael Jackson!!!!!!" Well in case you didn't know, I love MJ's music. He is an amazing artist and I've honestly gotten over his past of what he did or didn't do because we will honestly never know the truth. Don't judge me ;)

I really love this song and it makes me feel good if I'm ever feeling down. I honestly think that things will get better if you just hold someones hand or give someone a hug because thats the best feeling in the world (which is why I hug a lot)! If you haven't heard this song, take a listen and enjoy!

Just another day...

Second day of classes....nothing special. I had Science for K-8 teachers with Kelly (btw, we have assigned seats and we aren't in the same group. Oh and our groups are on opposite sides of the room...it sucks) then I had work, then I went to my Social Problems class, then I went back to work for an hour, then I went to my Intellectual Disability class, then back to work for a third time to help Reba. It was a lot of running back and forth on campus. Later that night was the first Best Buddies meeting of the semester!
