Run, run, run as fast as you can!

So lately I have been going to Dog Day's this summer, which is a local community workout project run by a man called Red Dog, they have it twice a day at 6:00am and 6:00pm MTWR and it is intense. Marines will come and say it is a challenge. I've been going at least four times a week and going to the Saturday Fun Run. You have to go 20 times to get a shirt and I've gone 11 times, 12 after tonight. we had to do a timed mile yesterday and I did it in 12;30 which was slow compared to the rest of the masses. It's been fun and I plan to still go after I hit 20 times because exercise is always good for you. Also I highly recommend drinking a glass of chocolate milk after a workout because it seriously helps with soreness. Also Red Dog's wife Beverly, has talked me and one of my friends into running a 5k at the end of the summer and run more than walk it. So that will be an interesting challenge. I also saw a facebook/ Ljworld.com that Lawrence is have a 5k Color Run this October and I would enjoy doing that because who wouldn't want to be doused in different colors? Last thing, It's really hard going to bed early enough to go work at 6 in the morning. So I am trying to learn to go to bed earlier and now love Fridays because I can sleep in.

So on that note I have to go get ready to go to Dog Day's.

Have a nice week and try finding a local community workout program!

Well Hello There!

I suck. Blogging during student teaching was way harder than I anticipated as I'm sure you came to realize as I stopped posting. Second semester I was busy with classes and tutoring and a major case of senioriitis. Now since my last blog I have successfully completed student teaching, which was a bear, gone to New York City for a week, and I loved it and dream to go back, I went to New Mexico for spring break to visit my oldest sister and her family, I GRADUATED college after four years of very hard work, and I was Magna Cum Laude, lastly after three job interviews, I accepted an 8th grade Math and Science teaching position in Lawrence. 

I am super excited to start this new adventure teaching Math and Science. I really desired a Science teaching position so I am thankful that God blessed me with my heart's desire. I am also super nervous and stressed and I know the stress will only increase from here since the first year of teaching is supposed to be super hard. Well not hard, but challenging and stressful. I have loved the teachers I have met and they have all been super helpful, so I know I have a staff that will be helpful with this next year and guide me.

 I dearly miss all my friends scattered across the country, that part of college really stinks, and I plan to visit the ones still at OKWU/Bartlesville. Many of them became like family to me and I miss that part of my family. I also miss my dear boyfriend, who is still in Bartlesville, but we talk/text frequently and he came to see me this past weekend and I will see him again in two weeks! I miss being able to see him everyday and spending my evenings with him though. But we cherish the time we have together on the phone and our short visits. 

My room at my house is almost done! I got my very own mattress that I bought on Wednesday and it was very comfortable! Way better than any college dorm mattress I slept on. I enjoy the room way more now that I have a bed and I need to finish the rest, but I hate unpacking and finding homes for things, so we will see how that goes. Oh! I have a classroom I need to decorate too! I need lovely posters with Math and Science concepts to aid students learning and then things that are cute! The classroom is blue and green and I love it! It's on the third floor and has wonderful large windows that show mostly sky. I can't wait to finish it all up!

Well, I'm tired. Hopefully I get better at this business as time goes on, no promises. 

Also I want to change the name of the blog, mostly get rid of the student teaching part, so any suggestions would be lovely. 

Faith, Love and Pixie Dust!
