Kindergarten woes...

I woke up this morning at 7:00 AM! I know...crazy, right? I've been sleeping in until at least 9:30 for the past couple of weeks. It felt really good to get up early. It helps when you have a purpose in the morning. I love my summer break from teaching, but it's hard not to fall into a slump of waking up late and feeling like there's no need to rush because you don't have anywhere to be. I've never been one to adjust to time off I always feel like I need to have something to do, and when I don't have anything to do I feel anxious. Anyway, this morning I had to meet at Tammy Welch's house. She's the other Kindergarten teacher for summer camp, which starts on MONDAY!! We got a lot of planning accomplished and I feel very prepared for the next two weeks of summer camp. This is the first time I've volunteered for summer camp and I'm a little bit nervous about how it's going to go. I'm used to teaching children with MD, so it's going to be a whole different ball game to have 25 typical Kindergarteners. I'm excited though, a little change might be refreshing. Who knows, maybe I'll fall in love with teaching Kindergarteners! In all of my student teaching I never once had the opportunity to teach Kindergarten, so this should be a great experience...let's hope! :)

Waitressed at Todd's tonight. It was very slow until about 8:30 PM. Then I had some of my regulars that I dearly love. I worked with Amber, Chris, Nate and Tyler. We're a pretty good team! I'm going to miss Friday's when I start teaching. I might be able to keep working on Friday's and Monday's, but it may get to much because of school and grad school. Who knows how busy I'm going to get! I have to teach Jr. Church Choir soon too..AHH! I feel like I've blown my entire summer and now it's all over. I haven't planned at all! I hope there are other teachers out there that are just as bad as me. There has to be, right?

Tomorrow I'm going to be playing tennis at the high school with Nate, Aaron and Chris. I'm super pumped! This is the first time we've played with Chris and I have a feeling that he's going to be pretty intimidating because he played on the high school team. Hopefully, I don't completely embarrass myself. I know I will, I've never been known to be the most athletic person. Oh well, I'm happy with who I am.

I have to finish Breaking Dawn!! It's official!! I only have like 100 pages left...maybe if I get off here and start reading I can finish it tonight!

Nitey Nite!

How old do you think I am?

Monday, Monday

What a great day! Tonight the group went met at Red Robin & then we went to Galaxy Golf. We were planning to go to dime-a-dog night at the Clipper's new stadium, but Jon called to reserve us tickets and they were completely sold out! Can you believe that?!? We were pretty bummed, but then I thought putt-putt would be a good alternative and it turned out to be awesome! Kate, Amanda, Ashley, Lauren, Aaron, Nate, Kyle and Jon went! As we get older it gets harder and harder to get our group together all at once, so I was glad to get almost everyone together. I was sad that Jo couldn't make it, but she was in our thoughts. The boys were against the girls in putt-putt. Unfortunately, we lost. I thought we did really good too! Oh well, we had fun!



This is Kate and I at Red Robin!

I'm so excited! This weekend I'm driving to Myrtle Beach with Katie and Ashley! It's going to be awesome! We're camping at Myrtle Beach State Park which is right down from Pirateland Campground where I stayed last year with family. It was a blast. I'm planning to take them down the beach to Pirateland, so we can swim in the lazy river! We're not planning on doing much. Spending days on the beach is enough for me. I love the ocean, so this is going to be one of the greatest birthday's! :) I can't believe I'm going to be 25! AHH!!

Until next time...Peace Out!

"Pippin" ain't easy!

What a great night!! Just got back from Steak'n Shake with some of the cast members! Tonight's show went very well.  I don't think it was as good as last night, but it was still great! I feel so blessed to have so many people come to the show to support us.  The audience is what makes the show great!  I can't speak for everyone, but I get pumped up when I hear the audience laugh or respond to lines.  It's so exciting to know that all of our hard work is bringing happiness to others.  That's the real reason I perform in plays and musicals; I love to bring smiles, laughter and happiness to others. :) 

It's hard to believe that we only have one more performance of "Pippin" left and then it's all over.  We've been practicing so much lately I feel like London High School is my second home and the cast is my second family.  It's definitely going to be sad tomorrow when it's all over with.  Once the musical is over we have to strike the set and then we have a cast party!! Clayton, who plays the minstrel, has invited the cast to Ronettis.  It should be a blast!  Clayton owns Ronettis, which is an amazing pizza restaurant in London...I work at a pizza shop, so I know good pizza! ;) Well that's about all I can say tonight.  I'm pretty tired and I have to get up and possibly go to church tomorrow before the matinee.
Make it a great day!
