ONE week.
One week until I will officially be done with undergraduate classes.
One week until I will officially start student teaching.
In one week, my life will be different.

For the past 5 years I have been taking college classes, building a routine and actually enjoying the college life...yes, even the school work! It may seem odd, but I actually enjoy learning and being in class.
Throughout my last two years, I have become part of this family. I have become so close with the people in my education classes, (primarily my special education classes). We spend hours on end working on projects together, laughing, joking about stupid things, going out to the schools and completing practicum hours, and cramming last minute for exams!
Now, don't get me wrong, I am very happy to apply all the knowledge I have learned into the classroom and step into the schools full time, but I will miss everything I am leaving behind. We are all in different schools, spread out across different districts throughout multiple cities. The thing I will miss the most is not seeing them every week. I think change is difficult for everyone, and this is definitely bittersweet for me.
My to do list
*that needs to be completed in ONE week*

*that needs to be completed in ONE week*
- Purchase teaching clothes: I have a couple dress pants, but could use plenty more. I really looking to purchase multiple colored cardigans that I can switch up with a couple shirts for my staple "go to" look. Shopping trip soon!!!
- Organize all my children's books & make a spreadsheet where I can look them up for easy access!
- Speaking of books, sadly Border's is closing...but! CHEAP BOOKS! I will definitely be making multiple stops there throughout the month! :) You can never pass up sweet deals!
- Plan out my lunches. I need to go shopping and buy food that I can bring with me. If you have some good tips or food that you like, I would love to hear all of them!
- Take my gram shopping on our last Wednesday together! :) As many of you probably know, I take my gram to Organ class and take her so she can go out to eat with her friends after. She is dying to have a new "stylish" purse and requests that we go to the mall this Wednesday together!
- Finish ALL my projects for my final class. They are all due the day I start student teaching :/ eeeek - This is going to be one BUSY week.
- Doctors appointment on Monday. I finally got a new internist :) Your internist/PCP is the one you should have a good connection with and who will listen and work with you/your other doctors. I did not have a good relationship with my previous one and am excited to move forward with my new one!
- ...and making time for everything else that may pop up and come my way
