Graduation and Christmas!

I am now an ODU alumnus (well I will "officially" be one when all the processing goes through in the next few weeks). Graduation was a fun (although cold) day, and it was really neat to be participating in a college graduation! In January I will begin the Masters program for Elementary Education, and, if all goes as planned, I will graduate with my Masters degree about a year from now!

This Christmas was an especially exciting one for us because we got our very first Christmas tree! It is a Fraser Fir and smelled so nice when we brought it in and opened it up in the living room

Christmas came and went much to fast for me. It is hard to believe that it came and is gone already! It was a nice time, however, spent with family and a beautiful Christmas Eve service at Sovereign Grace Church. This is also the last week of 2011! I wonder about all the plans God has in store for me in 2012.

Two Weeks

There is just a little over two weeks until graduation! While I am excited, there is SO much that I have to get done before then; 3 exams, a classroom management philosophy paper, a presentation (I already wrote it, just have to present it now), a geometry project, and several little two page papers. And this is just the school stuff!

I am excited to graduate, but it hasn't really hit me yet. Maybe it has at least partially to do with the fact that I won't be "done."  I plan on starting the graduate program for a Masters in Elementary Education in January. I should finish that in about a year after a semester and a summer of full-time classes (4 each) and a semester for student teaching.
