i thought i had time before going to bed to give quick update on the life of dee, but if i did update i think i may just type forever! i know, i really need to start updating more because i always have so much to say at the end of the day, but sometimes there just isn't enough time!
needless to say, my mini-vacay to socal was just what i needed at this time in my life. talk about a spiritual rejuvination!!! some day i will gather up enough courage to speak on what i felt throughout that first night i was there...and throughout the rest of the weekend, really...but it is not yet that day. but, what i will say is that i'm upset that i left my NEW coffee tumbler thingee there!!! i was soooo super excited to use it, too! grrr...that's what i get for not putting it in my suitcase right away. oh well, i suppose i will just have to make another trip down to pick it up! ;)
in the teaching sector, things have been going quite well. school has been killing me but it's almost over, praise GOD! i have never been so against group projects before, but after having a few bad experiences i HATE group projects! i had some really bad luck with the grouping situation, but at least we got graded individually. oh well, what can you do. i think that God's trying to teach me how to work with difficult people...you would think that leading liwanag would have taught me that! HAHAHAH....JUST KIDDING!!! but not really...
i've been getting along pretty well with the teacher i work with, too. before it was awkward between us for some reason and she was a bit stand-offish, but we're actually getting to know each other better nowadays and she's actually making me more a part of the class! i'm starting to get a handle on the 5th grade curriculum, but boy do i have some funny stories about that! one time i didn't know the answer to this one word problem, and i just KNEW one of the kids was going to ask me for help, so i courageously called the teacher over and made a joke out of needing her to tutor ME. she took one look at it, paused for a moment, and then called out "boys and girls let's cross out #35...you don't have to do that one. if you want to do it, it'll be extra credit." yes, i did graduate college.
on the downside of the teaching sector, i had to report another teacher i was working with at another school. what's worse is that i don't think anything is going to be done about it...
...and people wonder why some kids hate school.
in the family sector, things are as good as can be expected. lola is in the hospital again because she's not eating. it's taking a toll on my family, but i know we're all trying to hang in there, especially my mom. it's so stressful, but this is the cross...
we're getting a tree tomorrow, which will be very interesting. after we put it up there'll be barely enough room walk around...but, by golly, we'll have tree! i was complaining about the cold weather earlier this month, but the more i'm in it the more i'm thankful for it because it really feels like christmas is coming. and, i don't know how factual this would be but i would like to think that it was cold when Jesus was born. i mean, in a stable with no heat, in the dead of night...it wasn't the warmest of situations. but i would bet anything that the beauty that was born on that cold night was enough to warm heaven and earth...
