So Tuesday was perhaps the most exciting day of my life... well up to this point anyway....
Here's the EXCITING NEWS....
1. After waiting 4.5 extremely long weeks I got my Praxis test scores back. (For those of you who don't know these tests are the definition of evil to a college student because a) they cost more than I spent on food for a semester 2) The tests were administered starting at 7:30 in the AM on a Saturday!!! tres) covering everything you may or may not have learned kindergarten to present, and D) The 2nd test was 2 hrs of written responses....
And amazingly enough, I passed both tests! So contrary to my belief that I'd be retaking at least one of the tests this coming fall.... I passed both... at least according to the states of Idaho and Utah. THERE is no other explaination than the amazing power of prayer cause there is no way on earth I passed otherwise. I seriously had no time to study and after being out of school for 2 months I wasn't exactly prepared for over 4hrs of testing.
You know what they say about people's jaws dropping... yeah mine did that cause I saw the results and I was like... are you kidding me... there is NO WAY I passed... I totally bombed that test..... and then I was screaming at the top of my lungs... "I passed" and I was literally bouncing on top of my bed.
Other good news-
I finally got my letter of introduction written for student teaching and thanks to fabulous friends and family who helped edit it I got it turned in.... over 24hrs before it was offically due... I know miracles happen. I didn't procrastinate until the last second....
That letter was the last thing I had to submit before the deadline so I have everything in that I need to and I am completely ready for student teaching... well with the exception of my classes this fall.
And I was on a roll that night and I was like, well I did get my student teaching stuff in and I know when I want to walk for graduation, I might as well apply.
So YEAH I applied for graduation too.
I will walk in Commencement April 2010..... Which strangely is less than a year away... crazy....
And yes I know it sounds really cheesy to say that it was the best day of my life to this point, but I was completely high on the thrill of accomplishment!!!
That's 3 very important things that's I've got done. Now all I have to do is show up to my last semester of classes and then I'm on my way to Vegas!!!!
I still have no idea what I'm doing after student teaching... or where I plan on living... but at least I know what I'm doing for the next 10ish months.
And at this point in my life to have a plan for 10 months is huge.... considering I've ended up moving every 3 months for the last year and a half.
But yeah this is the end of my college years... and the beginning of everything else.
