Student teaching

Hello dear friends!

I graduate in two weeks and I'm starting to freak out a little! I just received my student teaching placement today and everything is beginning to set in. There really is an end!! I really am leaving Rexburg! The school I will be at is only about 15 minutes from my apartment depending on traffic, so it shouldn't be too bad. Yay for student teaching!

I also just finished up my BIGGEST stress of my college career!! Portfolio review! Gag!!! For those of you who don't know what this is...it's terrible!!

It's where you have to put a portfolio together of your entire college education and have everything a certain way. Then, you will take yourself and your portfolio and present to a committee. You have 15 minutes to share your speech, (or basically where you prove to them that you're ready to go on to student teaching!) Then, for the next 15 minutes they can ask you any question they want to ask. After that, you leave and they deliberate about you. When they're finished, you go back in and they tell you whether or not you can go on to student teaching.

Don't get me wrong, it's not hard, it's intimidating! Very!! I'm so glad it's over and that there's life after portfolio!! :)

It'll be weird being in Utah, but it'll only be for 3 months. Plus, Utah is beautiful in the summer and I'm planning on spending a lot of time in the mountains!! I have really missed the mountains after living in Rexburg for 5 years.

Yay for life!!!

We know how to.....

....watch the big game in style!!!

The BYU game was on and they were playing it at the Crossroads, which is the university's food area. It was on a huge screen and we could work on homework while we watched. The only problem was that it got a little loud at times.

Great game! Great company!! Great times!!!

Back in the day...

I found this picture the other day and had to share it! I love this picture!! It's funny to see how young we all were.

We are a good looking bunch!

Prepare to be frightened!!

Before I begin, I must warn you that this post is a bit on the frightening side.








Consider yourselves warned!!








I few weeks ago, my roommate wanted to try some home made face masks that she had recipes for. We tried three different ones. The first one was by far the worst of them all!! It was a raw egg and something else. Yucky!!! I felt like I had jaundice.

Rachel with raw egg on her face!



The next one had yogurt, cornmeal, and some other things in it. It made me look really pale and I felt like a zombie.

The last one had honey, parsley, and I don't know what else in it. I kept forgetting that I couldn't touch my face. It was super sticky!

We're blowing you a kiss!!

I felt like I was putting alfalfa on my face. I better not get too close to a cow or they might try to lick my face off!!

As gross as this stuff sounds, my face has never felt so amazing afterwards! I need to do it again. I don't know what was in all the masks because Rachel put the concoctions together. But I would recommend these to anyone, especially if you have problems with your skin. If you want the recipes, let me know.

Been awhile!

I always get on here to check out what other people have posted. I guess I forget that I should be posting things as well. I was looking through some pictures today and realized there were a lot of things I could've shared but haven't. I was going to start posting them on here but that's just way too much of a picture over load. So, if you want to see pictures, I'm posting them on facebook instead....just easier that way. But the pictures I don't want to share on facebook, I'm going to put on here, so feel privledged!!

Also, to let everyone know, this is my last semester on campus. I graduate on April 8th, start student teaching on April 18th and finish on July 15th. I'm super excited to be this close...it only took a million years, but at least I'm doing it! I hope everyone is happy and well! Love ya'll!! Enjoy!

Sariah and I enjoying ourselves at the mall!!

I love being an aunt!!!! Poor Katie has my afro hair!

....Umm....this is what school does to me...yeah...

Rexburg sky!

So the sky was really weird and crazy looking yesterday! We found out later that there was a fire by R mountain, but it didn't ever smell like smoke which is weird.


The entire sky was this giant orange/brownish cloud covering all of Rexburg.

Here's video so you can see it better. The video is side ways and I don't know how to turn it, so just tilt your head I guess. Also, you can't hear it very well because of the wind.

One more week of school!!!!

Enjoy!

So for a girl who's terrified of heights....

....this is a huge accomplishment!!!

That's me in the red almost to the top! And, yes, I did make it to the top!! When you get to the top, you have to jump off...or slide off...as I did, and they slowly bring you down. That was the scariest part for me. I always do stuff like this thinking it will get easier, but it never does! I'm always still scared, but I always still do it. I think I'm crazy or soemthing!
