Hello all,
Since my last update I have graduated College and completed my student teaching, which is similar to an internship. I have moved to Las Vegas, Nevada and accepted a teaching position at Las Vegas High School, which is where I did my student teaching.
I loved my time as a student teacher. I learned so much from me mentor teacher and from the other teachers in the English department. I came to love all my students so much that it surprised me how invested in their learning I became.
I was able to plan and create and teach my very own unit in the classroom. I am forever grateful for this experience and all that it prepared me for. I had the best time student teaching and I can't wait for my first year as a certified teacher with my own classroom.
In addition to moving to Las Vegas I have started watching Game of Thrones with my roommate! There are outrageous characters and magnificent story lines. We've watched the first two and a half seasons over this weekend. We are staying up all night to get as far into the series as we can! We're having a good old tv marathon!
I have also set a date to go through the temple to receive my endowments. I will be going back to Rexburg in July to walk in Graduation and that is when I will go through the temple.
Overall in the past few months I have made several "adult" decisions and it kind of terrifies me. I am really glad to be done with college and to be moving on to the next stage of life, but naturally I am terrified of moving on and leaving my childhood behind.
And, I get to see Pippin in 5 days!
I'm not sure if you know about Pippin. He is the cat that my sister was fostering last summer that I adopted! He will be a year old next week! I can't wait to see him! My mom is bring him down with all my other stuff that she is bringing down from the house.
Now your pretty much updated!
Sydney
