    Security Update*

    About a week ago I revealed my inner insecurities about privacy and my little blog. I posted a poll and 26 wonderful people responded. (If you haven’t yet voted, I’d really appreciate it if you did!) I’m not entirely sure what to do at this point. Of the 26 people that voted, 7 voted that they would not be comfortable sending me an email address for me to invite them to continue reading if I closed it to the general public. While that number makes up the minority, it’s significant enough for me to pause for a minute. I don’t want to turn any of you away… I love that…

    A Day In The Life…

    Tonight I’m writing my first official “I’m writing in my blog to procrastinate work” post for the 2008 – 2009 school year. WOOOOO! haha I know that you all know that I’m in teacher’s college because I talk about it constantly, but I thought I’d give you a little snapshot into the day of an I/S (Intermediate / Senior) teacher candidate: 5:44am – Alarm goes off 5:47am – Roll out of bed without waking the Hubster 5:48am – Sit at my desk attempting to adjust my eyes to the light. (Yes, I wake before it is even light outside. How gross is that?) 5:50am – Jump (not literally, it’s more…

    Chapter Seven* The Wedding Planning Begins…

    I ended the last post describing what was going on in my life as I attempted to focus on my last month of school while simultaneously planning our wedding. As you can imagine, it didn’t work out so well. After we booked the temple and the church for the reception, I put everything else on hold while I waded through my first batch of university exams. Once those were out of the way I poured my heart into my application to transfer universities. Even though my marks were okay, I was terrified that I wouldn’t get in and the Hubster and I would have to make some major changes in…

    Insecure*

    I broke my promise. I told you I’d update another chapter of Our Story* on Sunday, and here it is, Thursday afternoon, and I’m just finding the time to post now… and sadly, I’m not writing another chapter just yet. I’ve really been wrestling with “security issues” surrounding my little blog since I started school this year. As I’m entering the field of teaching I need to be very, very careful about what information about me is available on the internet. And while I know this is “anonymous”, I do like to post photos from time to time and anyone that knows me could probably see through my little cover.…

    Busy, Busy, Busy*

    Woooweee! Somehow a whole week has gone by and it’s almost bedtime on Saturday night again. My life in teacher’s college is highly enjoyable, but also rather insane. I’m gone almost every day from 7:30am to 7:30pm. When I finally get home, my evenings are filled with readings and assignments that I am actually doing this year–I’m trying the whole “good student” bit–which take me until nearly midnight, at which time I fall into bed, utterly exhausted. And then it begins all over again the next day! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I’m thrilled to have a space in the program… it’s just going to be a busy…
