Issues and Trends in Early Childhood---------------------> MISSION COMPLETE

SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT YEA!!!!!!!!!!! IM DONE IM DONE IM DONE IM DONE IM DONE IM DONE IM DONE IM DONE!!!! CAN YOU BELEIVE IT! I ACTUALLY FINISHED THIS COURSE! I have never hated a course as bad as this one. ohhhh boy i cant wait to evaluate that teacher! heheeh. would you like to read the last paragraph of my assignment... oh wait speaking of my assignment i must turn it in to my eportfolio... one moment while i submit that.....(I sounded like those people you call to cancel stuff huh? "One moment while i take care of that for you... ok can i help you with anything else today?") "Throughout this course, I have struggled quite a bit. Through this struggle I have dug deep inside myself and pulled out the true me. I have always been taught to never give up. In spite of these struggles, I’ve come to realize they are nothing compared to the struggles some children face everyday. Whether it be the fact that they are facing poverty, racism, hate and oppression or the fact that they have autism, bipolar disorder, mental retardation or some other disability. My struggle is nothing compared to theirs. It is an option for me to continue through my struggles or quit and be completely struggle free. For these children, it is not an option. They are starving, naked and cold and they can do nothing about it. So I have come to face the fact that I will continue to struggle by my own choice to better educate myself on these children’s struggles, so one day I can make a difference and maybe protect children from these types of struggles. I may not be able to help every child, but I will do my best to help every child that I can." Isn't that just precious... Believe or not the world doesn't revolve around me. That is one thing I've learned an abundance about in this course, about poverty. So you know tomorrow it's back to real life.... gotta love it! I had an amazing three days away.. a very lovely drive on the way up there, great conversation, great friends... and last but not least... MMMMMMEEEEEMMMMMOOOOORRRRRIIIIIIEEEEEESSSSS! haha. I so wish we could've watched that baseball game, but since we didn't at least we went back to the stadium and got forms to fill out for a refund! THANK GOD! I'd hate to pay 48 bucks for NOTHIN!! And i also got to practice changing a flat tire on my tahoe. I've never had to put a spare tire on the tahoe. of course i've changed many flats, but never on the tahoe..... so getting the spare tire down took about 20 minutes and the rest took about 5... hahahah. that was probably the best part of the trip... luckily at least one person with me knew how to help... while the other 2 directed traffic.. lol! just kidding. It was a fun memory... and a great trip. at least we made it home safe... right? Yep safe and sound and slept amazing until about 930 this morning in my own bed! Alright now that my stress is OVER, i will get out of here and actually relax for the rest of my sunday night! WAHOO!!!! Hope everyone has a lovely week!

I'm An Inventor!

Ok so you know I'm getting pretty creative. First of all, remember my little "teacher toolbelt" (Patent Pending) that I was going to make because of that terrible invisible person in my classroom that ALWAYS steals my pens!!!!!! Well today while teaching color words, I decided I need to invent crayons, that ONLY have the color word on them in big print! Teaching color words would be so much easier if they did this! They could be called "Teachable Crayons" or "The Crayon Box That Taught" (instead of talked... lol!) (Patent Pending... HAHAHAHHA)Oh my gosh I'm a genius (did I spell that right). While I'm at it I may just write a song! If I wrote a song it would have to be about how perfect I am... and how ridiculous everyone else is!!!! hahaha jk. Isn't it weird how YOU (talking about me) are normal and your friends are normal but a lot of other people are very weird.... hahahah. I mean really... to the other people, i bet they think YOU (not talking about me here... haha) are weird. It's weird how everyone thinks their beleifs (that's spelt wrong, i before e except after c) are right and other peoples are wrong. Who is to say who is right? I feel like I'm always right... unless I'm wrong of course, but you know what I'm never wrong. and if i just so happen to be wrong (which i never am), then I'm not very happy, but I'm always happy cuz i'm never wrong.... get what i'm tryin to say there.... hahahah! Remember when I started the blog how I stated I have to start a blog because I like to blab... and my friends don't like me if i blab, so i start a blog... haha only kidding. I blab all the time, in fact I never shut up. I mainly love to tell dreams.. you know why? because the dream is so clear in your mind and when you start to tell it.... you are reminded of how it is alllllllll weird and you shoulda never started telling it in the first place. That happens to me everytime. It goes something like this "so last night i had a dream and we were at the milk barn... no wait this is weird... actually the milk barn was at school... no actually it wasn't a milk barn... It was just a school that had milk stalls in it... ok now i can't remember what else happened" hahahahah you know how dreams are sooooooooo weird!!! I love dreams, but I haven't had a dream in a long time... usually if i do it's about me losing or breaking my retainer.. (which I MUST have or i could possibly die)... or some ex scumbag trying to find me or suck up or make up to me or something like that. but about 3 or 4 months ago i dreamed every night and it was so awesome! I LOVE dreams! anyways................... wow haven't been blabby in a while. Soooooooooo. I started this to talk about my inventions and it turned into this... but at least now you know how perfect I am! Right?

why hello there.......

ha! what an intro... so do you remember at the beginning when i started the blog how i mentioned my mind wants to blow up when it gets soooooooo full....... well guess what? it's been how long since I wrote a blog post? so yea.... my mind.... on the verge of blowing.......... wayyyyyyyyyyyy to much crap going on right now! I hate grad school! next week is my last week of this class and Praise the Lord I'm done with that one! That teacher is soooooooooooooooo not nice! (Hope I don't accidentally post this on my school blog that we have to have..... that would suck!) I'd definitly get an F then.... This is by far the hardest class I"ve had yet. I thought oh man this is a piece of cake.. until this class and I try my best and still get freaking F's on assignments! Then I'll get 100%'s for a couple of weeks then back to F's..... I think she's picking on me. She is being very bias and grading based on her opinions and not being open to the ideas of others..... yea anyways.... I actually get a week off after this class... then back to it again... But if my NSU crap gets figured out, I'll be there this summer instead of the other place. So I'm supposed to be doing an assignment right now that's due tonight... but guess what? HA IM NOT!!!!!! ok so you know used to i'd write a blog like every sunday night because I'd be up all night doing an assignment.. well here i am again. I feel like if i blog before i write then my mind is clear of everything I'm mad about or worried about or anything like that. Man this coming week is a big week!soooo busy! You know the last week of this class is the week of the "major assignments" that must be submitted to the eportfolio.... which means they have to be gooooooooooooood! and i just so happen to be unavailable this coming weekend.... therefore I MUST get it done before this weekend!!! By this weekend I pretty much mean has to be done WEDNESDAY!!!! that will probly never happen and I'll be up until midnight next sunday night doing the same thing I am tonight except minus the blogging because I will actually HAVE to get it done or I will fail the class. I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about this...... but i guess ill stop! So lets talk about yesterday..... first went to a tball game.. how fun... next played basketball against the harlem wizards.... now that was fun. but bad.... because now I wanna play basketball again!!!!! I think we should start having a monthly game for a fundraiser or something... that would be fun. It was totally a blast and those guys were really funny. You know what would be real cool... like a league of basketball put together that consisted of old teams.... like and we could play kansas vs. colcord.. but the old teams! that would be soooooooo fun! of course were all old... but who cares it would just be for fun and be fun! And the money could go toward the Pre-K fund.... HAHAHAHHAHA just kidding. You know when you have those times in your life you feel like you should be doing MORE with your life.... apparently I'm at that stage. I guess that's why I'm getting my masters... so i can go and do MORE for early childhood. I love teaching pre-k and the main reason is because it's not like you have the same job every year.... my job is different every year because the kids are different every year...... you will never have 2 kids that are the same... and its fun. My patience has seemed to go downhill since I've began though... but i think its because all the crap that has went on in my life since then and now..... i need to relax a little more... sometimes i am way to strict and i totally know that... but sometimes there are those kids that you need to get strict with to get the point across.. the main thing i love about my job is the way you get to see the kids change throughout the year and how much knowledge they gain.. and also through the years.. my very first class is now in 2nd grade.... and i love to see how big they are and how much they've changed... can't wait til they're seniors... well maybe i can because that'll mean i'm old! Let me tell you what I love about playing sports when my daughter can watch me... after the game i said "was that funny? did you like watching mommy play?" she said "yea!" I said "so are you gonna play ball when you get big?" she firmly said "NNNNOOOO!!! Not against those guys!!!!!" HAHAHAHAH! i said no no you won't play against those guys.. itll be people your size.. she was like ohhhhhh... I feel like if she sees me play and sees that i enjoy it and she enjoys watching it that she will play it too. She better! D keeps saying .... your gonna be a cheerleader like your mom! I'm always like noooooooooo i was not a cheerleader and if you're a cheerleader i WILL NOT come watch you!!!!!!!! hahahahahha. nothing against cheerleaders of course... if you know me, you know cheerleading is not something i like..... at all! Alright better really do homework now...........
