Lovely tunes

So lately I've been like really into instrumental, ambient type music. I promise you, it's lovely. And sometimes sexy. And it gives you some good feels. And it's good bedtime and study music.
Anyway, there's this fun website named 8tracks.com and I've found loads of good music on there (even if you have limited skips). I made a mix on there, so totes go check it out yo.

Hello, old friend.

lovely things my students give me.

Ed Sheeran concert. Words can't describe how amazingly talented this guy is.

Valentine's from my students. One perk of being a teacher: I'll always get Valentine's.

Hello, blogging world...

This poor little blog has been seriously neglected... and seriously needs a make over. I have been MIA for the last few months because my life has been consumed by student teaching.

Student teaching. The home stretch. Just 2 more months to graduation. 

This has been the hardest few months of my whole academic career, and probably my whole life. I am busy from 8 am to 10 pm almost everyday. Juggling full-time teaching, school/homework, and a part-time job is no picnic. February has especially been a struggle for me. I have never felt so physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. There are times I find myself counting down the weeks. Just 4 left.

Although it's been a struggle and I feel like I'm neglecting and missing out on a lot of my personal relationships, I just have to say that I absolutely love teaching. When I am at school all day, I enjoy it. I usually don't mind spending 40+ hours a week at my school. I love love love it and I am developing a passion for teaching that I didn't know that I had. I love interacting with my students. They teach me so much and they are so much fun. Seriously, these kids change your life.

Even though I am more than excited to just be done with student teaching, I will have the hardest time leaving these kids. It's gone by so fast and I'm almost there. It's also making me excited to start my career as a teacher because I know it's something that I'll love doing, and I am very lucky to have found something I'll love to do for the rest of my life.
