what's new...

well i have almost COMPLETELY finished unpacking my apartment but have stopped for now due to the lack of storage and no decorater. my aunt is a fantastic decorater and has offered to help me make my apartment a home so while she wasn't allowed over until i had unpacked some boxes.

i will post pictures soon!

i also participated in my first blog swap and got the best gift ! Boston Belle sent me a cute, perfect teacher bag that i have used every day since i received it. (once again pictures will be posted soon!) right now it's stuffed with ungraded papers! ha ha!

i can show a picture of the rug i ordered for my outside patio! i have a great patio except that i live in oklahoma and we have oklahoma red dirt and it has stained my patio already. so i purchased a terracota rug! perfect for outside in oklahoma!

Holy Cow!

I did it! I passed the PLT finally. What is the PLT you ask my little nonteacher friends... well it's the devil and i hate it but it was my LAST hurdle towards teacher certification in south carolina; now i must jump through some hoops here in oklahoma but hopefully this will keep me employed a little while longer...

FINGERS CROSSED and BE PUMPED!!

I am offically going to be a real growed up teacher lady... ha ha ha ha ha ha!

first week...

the first week of school started today! i spent the morning at the oklahoma city public schools convocation! it was very interesting b/c we had a great public speaker!

i went to lunch with some of the ladies i work with and that was fun sharing stories about my new school. all i can say is that the academy might have trained me for some of this year :) i'm very excited and ready to get started. tomorrow we have a day at school with some professional development. woot woot!!

i'll keep you posted on how everything goes.
