Slacker

Boy, I sure haven't managed to keep up this journal very well so far, have I? I guess I'm just trying to settle in and get my bearings here. I'm not used to journaling regularly yet and with classes coming to an end soon, things have been a little hectic. Good things are coming, though. I have my teacher education program interview on December 10. This Friday, though, I'm Tennessee-bound for a trip with my Momma, my sister, and my daughter--serious fun to be had.

I began counting Weight Watcher points around the beginning of October and it has worked better than I could have imagined. So far I have lost about 34 pounds. Not bad for a couple of months. I've kind of plateaued right now, mainly because I got slack on writing everything down. I'm planning to buy an exercise bike soon, though, so that should help get the pounds moving again.

More soon... I'm off to play Super Paper Mario with my son. :) Good night.

The Beginning

So, I received my Praxis scores in the mail yesterday. I passed. My acceptance into the teacher education program at Mars Hill College depended on this very test; therefore, it feels as if I am entering a new phase in life. From this point on, my education will center around learning the skills needed to be a successful teacher; more specifically, a special education teacher. With this new direction, I feel the need to begin reflecting on where I've been and, more importantly, to chronicle where I am going--if for no other reason than creating a personal journal of my thoughts.

This is where the journal (the new journey) begins. I hope that when it ends, my life will prove to have made some small difference somewhere along the way.
