I have unknowingly need to blog right now. Fall semester is fast approaching. This will be my last semester of classes then onto to the adventure of student teaching. I am extremely anxious and am ready to be done with the semester before it has even started. I feel this semester is going to really test my strengths and weaknesses. I have the live of die feeling right now. In some respects I feel prepared to handle what comes my way and in other ways I feel extremely unprepared and already overwhelmed with what could be. I know that in order to survive I need to put away the “what could be” thoughts and focus on succeeding.
I was reading on Facebook the other day that one of the girls I went to high school with is going to be entering the classroom and “adult world” for the first time this year. It is another eye-opener as to how close I am. Really to be perfectly honest I am so happy and excited to see what lies beyond college. I have many options (Teaching, GIS Certified, Subbing, Masters) if my tastes should change. Words cannot express how hopefull and excited I am, but also anxious to what is or could be in store.
It is time to get my “ducks in order” and dive in! I plan on subbing this semester as the ultimate leap for myself thus far to prepare for my future. This coming week I will be working on my student teaching application and awaiting my test results for the MTTC! wow - so close I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you to all my professors (Dr. Degoosh, who inspired me to teach and sat through my worst presentation ever. 
Dr. Nicholson who has given me great words of advice and will be working with me throughout this semester. Dr. Kendall, who has been the greatest history prof and probably best example of what great teaching is. Dr. Gerhardt, who has worked with me over the years offering a hand whenever needed. Last but not least most important, my Education Professors (Dr. Oates, Dr. Punchocar (sp?), Abbey, Dr. Lubig, and future Dr. Logan) who have guided and offered many wonderful opportunities to succeed in the world of Secondary Education.
