Are You in Good Hands?

Some days, absolutely nothing happens and I think “Well I would like to blog, but I don’t have anything to write about.”  Other days, though, life just seems to go by too fast.  Today, has definitely been one of those days. 

The past few days I have been keeping myself busy with work and meetings.  Today I traveled to meet my cooperating teacher for student teaching.  While at the school I was able to meet and talk to the principal, my cooperating teacher, and a teacher I worked with during one of my field experiences.  I enjoyed being at the school and getting a better idea about all that would await me next year.  Plus I learned more about how my cooperating teacher runs her classroom and what I should expect.  I really like my cooperating teacher and the principal, and am excited about the team of teachers that I will be able to work with as well.  The meeting helped to clear up some questions, while also creating a few more.  I tend to be a type A personality, surprise surprise right?  Well, due to my type A personality, I like to have all my ducks in a row and know every detail ahead of time.  It drives my family crazy.  Student Teaching is not something that I can know all about before beginning.  I am learning that I have to be willing to go into this with the realization that it will be a learning experience.  I will not know all of the information and details, nor do I completely know what to expect.  BUT, that does not deter my excitement.  I know that the entire experience is in the Lord's hands.  I know that this is the path He wants me to take, and because of that I can honestly answer yes to the Allstate commercial when it asks, "Are you in good hands?"

Remember those projects I needed to work on?  Well, I finally got enough motivation to tackle a few.  I had been needing to create some bulletin boards for my work.  For some reason, these bulletin boards were some of the hardest I've ever done.  I lost one of the letters I created, and of course I didn't have any paper left in that color.  Well my OCD self couldn't handle using a different color so I had to buy another packet of paper before I could finish the lettering.  Then I spent way too long making sure things were centered and symmetrical.  Maybe I have a problem?  It took me a couple nights to complete the project, but overall I'm pretty happy with them.  Although, I think they look better in person than in the pictures.

I’m hoping to find some time tomorrow to redo my room a little and work on some Pinterest projects.  Here is to hoping for a productive day tomorrow!
