Real update

since i've made an update that wasn;t whining about missing Bryan :)

Things are going well, Today is my last day student teaching (on a lunch break right now), and I'm not really student teaching all that much since it's a make up day for me since I missed a day. Just helping the teachers and observing the teachers doing testing all day today...that's about it. Then I'm done with this student teaching! Crazy! I'm very excited that I've made it through this far. 
My exit itnerview for my student teaching was last Friday. I got a lot more praises than I had expected and was very flattered. Both my mentor and supervisor had to write a letter of recommendation, and both highly recommended me as a teacher. I was so excited about it, it was much more than I had expected. The supervisor gives an average score from all of our observations. There are 35 things/standards that we are scored against on a scale from 0-3. My average was a 2.71 (after 5 observations), and apparantley that's one of the highest scores she's ever given.*Puts a gold star on her forehead* I'm a super star! :) 
I already miss the kids, a lot. I'm glad I'm done with homework and lesson plans, but I do miss the kids. I especially miss the kids that I did the majority of my lead teaching with (in other words, took over the whole class while the actual teacher just sat in the back or ran errands). I fell in love with the class a lot more than I thought I had. I had to say goodbye to them on Friday, and it made me cry! Highly unexpected as I don't cry that easily when it comes to goodbyes, especially in front of people. A few asked if I could stay forever, that just made my heart melt :) 
Overall, it was a great experience. I had a few downs where kids asked why I had a funny voice (I'm deaf, and thus, apparently my voice shows it at least a little bit, which I never knew), so that REALLY shot my pride down. Though one girl was cute about it and made me laugh. She just out of the blue said to me "You know, your voice may be funny, but you make up for it 'cause you're really pretty!" I got a compliment about my clothes, hair or the way I smell almost every day. Very cute, they made up for the funny voice comments ;)
I can't believe I technically only have two classes left...well...really...just one. They will be for my internship and count towards my fall semester credits. 6 credits just for having an internship, the other 6 is for my other half of the student teaching required for an Early Childhood Education License. So I hav ehomework to do during the fall semester (my teacher work sample which I do NOT look forward to, EVERYONE hates them, even the people who have to score them. The state requires proof that we know what we're doing, thus, our teacher work sample is a necessity...bleh). Then I'm done. Winter semester is when I just finish up my testing, and I'll graduate and walk in April. Insane! I then hope to go to grad school to get a masters specializing in early childhood education for hearing impaired students. We'll see how that goes. 
I get to see Bryan in two days, SUPER excited for it! :) I've gotten all nice and tan (you thought I would let Bryan be all tan and I show up all whitey...HAH, no way!), got my nails done this past Friday as part of a girls night out. (My sister has a bad habit of biting her nails, this is her last thing she can try to help stop biting nails since these are virtually unbitable). Both of my sisters got them done as well, they even got a little flower design on the ring fingers. Way cute, and they BOTH love it, I was surprised the nail biter loves them. I love mine, and yet, I hate mine. They just don't work well with typing on the computer or playing the piano :) 
I'm getting my hair done tomorrow after I get the keys to the school and my classroom (giggles with excitement here). MY VERY OWN CLASSROOM! I am so excited, I'll be able to go in and out as I please to set up and decorate my classroom before school starts. Ok, back to hair, I'm trimming it mostly and going to try to add A LOT more layers as well as highlights to my hair. Yeah, I'm gonna look good! Tan, nails done, lost 9 lbs (was aiming for 10, but 9 is good too), painted my toenails pink, hair done tomorrw. I'm feeling quite girly and love it :) 
Going to CA on wed, we're going to disneyland since we have all day passes for a wedding present from my brother. I know we're going to try to go to the San Diego temple, and visit with the family that Bryan worked for, they're taking us out to dinner as a thank you. I also know we're going to go visit his parents, but other than that, Bryan hasn't decided yet, and I don't care, I just am so gld that I get to see him :)
Ah, 12:30 my teacher should be back any minute now to do more testing....and this is an ultra long post :) I doubt any of you will make it all the way through reading every word :)
Hope everyone is doing well and is happy!
