Sink or Swim?

Well, since it has been over a month since I have updated, and I have been chastised by my boyfriend that I need to update, I figured it was time. Okay, I made that sound a little more dramatic that it really is. He hasn't chastised me, more like subtly acknowledged the fact that I haven't updated.

I started grad school officially a week ago. It is challenging. It is time-consuming. It is fun! I really enjoy my classes, although the trouble I went through to get into all of them was a pain, it will definitely be worth it come May when I only have 4 classes to take this summer. I officially start student teaching in 7 months. And that just blows my mind to think I will be in a classroom in such a short amount of time! So exciting.

Regarding post-grad school. I have decided to not at all complain or worry about finding a job. I know I will need to be prepared when the time comes but it is something that I can't control and I can't do anything about it until NEXT summer. Therefore, worrying is no good and not helpful. (When is it ever?) It's all in my hands whether I sink or swim and I will do everything in my power now to make sure I swim! Worrying will only sink me.

Alright, keeping this short and sweet today. Hopefully it won't be another month until I update.
