I ended up having a BLAST in Kindergarten, but was reaffirmed after my first day in 4th grade that I am an older grade kind of person. Just the other day, one student was right behind me while I was helping another student. When I was done and turned around, I was accidentally tripped! I said, "(Student's name)!! You almost tripped me in front of the whole class!!" The student replied and arms held out, "I would have caught you like Prince Charming!" I then told the student to go to the bathroom which was the reason for standing right next to me. The student then proceeded to reenact the potential scene while repeating "I would have caught you like Prince Charming" and gracefully falling to the ground with a hand at the forehead and eyes closed. I must admit, it was quite hilarious!!! 4th grade is so much different yet has many similarities to Kindergarten!
God has also continued to show His faithfulness and His plan for me. I have passed both of my certification exams and had my district interview last week. All I have to do now is wait until May when they start to hire new teachers. *HUGE SIGH* It feels soooo goood to have tests done and The Teacher Work Sample!!! PTL!
Currently I am in Upstate New York for spring break. I knew this wasn't going to be the "fun vacation" New York often is, because my mom and I really thought we would be burying my grandma while we were here. I brought a nice black shirt and black shoes! Her boyfriend whom she stays with said that these past 2 days have been awesome. She hasn't felt this good in a long time! Of course she is trying to take advantage of it and wear herself out by cleaning up after my uncle who is 50 and needs to learn how to do his own dishes. He told her she needed to do them herself. So with chips somehow all over the floor in the living room, dishes crusted with food for who knows how long, and purple rubber gloves, my mom and I attached the kitchen! We proceeded to sing songs while we cleaned to lighten the mood. I had had to physically take my grandma's hands out of the soapy water and sit her down to get her to stop!! She shouldn't be doing that.
Yesterday I got to go on my traditional hike with my cousin Kyle! I SAW A GLACIER! Well, he said it was a glacier, I guess technically a glacier is a huge block of ice, right? What does a little "I've only seen snow twice in my life" Texan know about snow terms?! Okay okay, I know you want to see the pictures...
These pictures I think are BEAUTIFUL! One of them you can tell that the small waterfall is FROZEN! How cool! This is at Toughanak (sp?) Falls. So beautiful!
Anyway, I feel like this has been a lot of babbling and random saying so I am going to go. Enjoy the pictures!!
