Well Christmas came and went as did my birthday... another year older, which it me a little more this time. I have finally departed the 20somethings and moved on, I am hoping this 30something will turn out to be a whole lot better run than those 20years! It didn't really hit me until the other day in one of my classes and I took my students to the front lawn, to find an object to write a descriptive story on. As the students were mulling around in the grass, a couple of students were gathered around a marble plate in the concrete and asked me... "Ms. Blackmon, what do you think they put in it,"when I realized he was asking about the time capsule the class of 1987 had closed at the 50th anniversary of the school. As I explained what you put in a time capsule another girl shouted, "OMG! It's not going to be opened until 2037, that's a REALLY long time." I looked at her and said, well it's not that long, and I think I'll be 56 and she looked back at me and said, "Oh, Ms. Blackmon, that's OLD!" I could only laugh, but really that is old! LOL, I mean it's my mom's age, I don't want to be my mom's age.. at least I don't want to think about it now. So that's when it really hit me, but then again what is age anyway!
I guess teaching in a high school makes you feel young, maybe that's why so many stay for do long. I am not sure I'll be able to.. my patience are bad (in my old age) go ahead, laugh, you know you were thinking it!
I have began my second, well if you count summer, my third semester of grad school. Only by the Grace of God, Seriously. I am not a good standard test taker, I get board and what are they really asking... no one knows! So I took the revised GRE this morning, the scoring is different and I hope that my score is high enough to push me on through... it just makes me feel horrible. Then I try to figure out what's wrong with me, because I know I am not incompetent. So fingers, eyes, toes, arm, legs and whatever else you can cross in hopes that I don't have to turn in this appeals letter. God is amazing though, I usually get so nervous taking a test and I felt calm this morning, so I know He was with me, let's just hope He took the test and not me! :)
That's pretty much it, expect I am super excited to finally have Internet and not have to sit her and wait 30 min. for the page to load, I forgot what it was like to have "real" Internet.
I just wish it would get cold around here and stay cold, you know, more than 24 hours.
So has the first month of 2012 is getting close to the end, it's been an interesting ride so far, I hope it can only get better. A lady asked me the other day if I had a boyfriend and of course my reply was "no, not yet," I think I am just going to start saying yes, I really hate that questions, especially from someone you don't know. But she followed up after I said no and said, "well this is your year... you SHOULD believe me!" Now I don't know if I should be scared or excited... but we shall see what this year brings! I hope nothing but happiness for you and your loved ones!
Until next time...
