I Hate Hate*
I am so unbelievably disappointed right now. For the past several weeks I’ve been following the news about Proposition 8 (Proposition 8 is a California State ballot proposition that amended the state Constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman.). It has been an extremely controversial topic and with the election this week those in favor of Proposition 8 narrowly won. Okay. I’ll be honest here—I was shocked. I honestly didn’t think that this amendment had a shot in heck at winning. I’m all for equality, but I definitely see the arguments for both sides of this thing. The main premise behind…

My Class is TOO Big, I Can’t Handle It!!
Somehow I’ve already completed two weeks of my placement. I cannot believe how quickly the time is passing—in no time at all I’ll stop being the teacher and become the student again. *sigh* How many sleeps until May? So, my first week was AMAZING. Seriously. I officially and completely love this profession! My nerves completely dissolved by Wednesday, and my associate teacher even commented to me that he often forgets that I’m just a student teacher. (HOORAY!!!) That really meant a lot as he’s not the type of person to give undue praise—when he doesn’t like something he’s quite vocal about it. This week I focused a mini-unit on popular…

English Teacher Shop Girl*
Well, I survived!! Today was my very first day teaching high school and it went really well!! But that’s getting ahead of myself. Let’s go back a bit… I am currently completing one of my practicums and am on placement for 3 weeks. I’ve spent the last week observing classes in a local high school and it has been great. My associate teacher thinks outside the box and doesn’t want to create a “mini-me” version of himself and has let me observe a variety of classes with other teachers—which is pretty unusual for this placement. So, I’ve been taking notes and making all kinds of lovely doodles in my little…

He Finally Believes He’s Married*
**New exercise post!!! This should really be a post somewhere in Our Story* but I couldn’t wait to write it. So you’re getting a post a little out of sequence… but I don’t think you’ll mind. haha!! Now you may be wondering–what the heck does she mean by that title?? Let me enlighten you… the Hubster and I have been married for just over three years. Three years, two months and fourteen days, to be exact. I could also break it down into weeks, days and hours for you, but the gist of it is that we’ve been married for a while now. Right? Right. Well, it’s taken the Hubster…

The Hubster & Me*
Information about us, idea stolen from Robin!! How did we meet? I knew his best friend first… and one night, the Hubs was there with him and the minute I saw him I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Too Kool introduced us, and after a few weeks of chasing him down he finally asked me out… but you already know all about that! haha Where did you go on your first date? To Swiss Chalet. He knew that I didn’t really like red meat, so he took me somewhere that had plenty of white meat options. How cute is he? Afterwards we went to a dance, and then watched…
