Ok… so it’s been a month… what’s your point?? 
Lots have happened in that month… The first big thing since then was that I got an internship. Next semester, instead of student teaching, I will be doing an internship in ESL (English as a Second Language). This means I won’t really have my own class or even a particular grade, I will be teaching small groups of students at a time and they will range from grade k-6…. I am very excited… particularly because this meant that I got to quit ShopKo… No more retail work for me!!!
I also took a trip to Jamaica. I left on the 5th of Jan and just got back on the 12th… It was an amazingly intense trip. I went to build houses and stuff like that. Jamaica is the 2nd poorest country in this hemisphere and it shows. The houses we built were about 12 by 12, that would be for a family of 6 or so… they are only one square room and that is it. We also visited two orphanages… that was really hard…. the children were so adorable… I wanted to take them all home with me…. and adopting from Jamaica isn’t particulary hard either….
Christmas and Jason’s birthday were in there somewhere as well. Christmas was great… J got me a digital camera… the same one he has… so now I will stop stealing his…. My birthday is coming up this Sunday… and J bought me a new case for my computer… I had a mini case which means it was really skinny and that meant it was hard to upgrade… so we moved everything into a normal size case and now my comp has lots of room to breath and expand if I ever have the money to do so…
I also got some wedding stuff done…. Two of the four bridesmaids have their dresses ordered… the flower girl/min. bride is going to order hers soon…. I have what I think is about 80% of a list of guests…. I just really need to get started on cake, flowers and invitations…. ugh… details stink….
I promise to try to be a little more regular… really…
Who’s the flower girl? Better question, who’s the other groomsman?
The flower girl is my cousin’s kid Megan and the ring bearer/min. groom is my other cousin’s kid Wade…
The couples are
Ryan and my sister Dawn
Daniel and Moriah
Niko and Abbie
and you know the last couple but I haven’t asked the female half of that couple so I won’t post it here yet….
Oh. I was afraid it might be that other person.
Nope
DEB!!!!! Welcome back girl!!!! OMG!! I just finished doing an ESL program here at Harcourt! We call it “Moving Into English”!! Just corrected all of Grade 1, and sent it to the printers! Most people don’t even know what ESL is! I think it’s totally cool that you will be teaching it! ;o)
