End of semester

Alright, so I'm horrible at keeping my blog updated. XD Oh well.

So, basically, I hate this time of year. It's stressful, boring, and well..... the end of a semester. Okay, I'm not being entirely truthful. This is actually the first year I am looking FORWARD to my exams.... well, one exam. The other one has me scared to death. ¬.¬

I know, it must sound crazy to be looking forward to an exam, but hey.... It's one heck of an exam. ;) We're playing kickball with our 5th/6th grade pen pals in my professor/teacher's grade school class. It's gonna be awesome. :D Now.... I just have to get them a little present. =/ (I have 2 pen pals, while most people only have one.)

As for my other final, it's basically just a project, and I have to figure out what to do for a student that needs help in the class. My student is the sweetest little girl (2nd grade). Well, the entire class is awesome! They're so enthusiastic and cute. :) But yeah, she's actually pretty well off compared to some of the other 2nd graders that people in my class are working with. Basically though, I have to figure out what reading stage she's in, and come up with lesson plans to help her.... I wish my teacher had explained things to us earlier on, though. Since technically next week is the "last" week for interning. (I'm going to ask my mentor teacher if she minds if I come in for the rest of their school year. And if I can, I'm going to go to the end of the year party/day.)

So, besides ending a semester, these next couple of weeks are going to be bringing beginnings. I signed up to audition for Hale Theatre's Beauty and the Beast. So, I'm excited and nervous for that. :D And I've also got classes starting. ¬.¬ I have a 2 day class on the Arizona Constitution the Friday/Saturday after the semester ends, and then I've got classes all throughout July. (Stupid BLE 220, and the Freshman filling it up for the Spring '09 semester. ¬.¬)

Anyways, that's pretty much where I'm at. Ending some things, beginning new ones, continuing in other things. But hey, that's life.

Ren Festival Pictures 2009

Alright, here are the much anticipated pictures. :D

The little blue car in the tire place, before they changed the tire.
Alana getting Henna done on her foot.
Jousting tournament, Pirate and Sir Joseph...... I think.
Again, jousting.

Not many pictures, but I sure had a blast! :D

Renaissance Festival 2009

Alright, it's been a while, but here is the promised post about the Renaissance Festival.

We (Alana, Mallory, and I) got on our way about 10 am, only to find out the car we were taking had a flat, but we had already driven on it, so that tire was ruined. We then went and spent a good hour at the tire place getting a new tire.

We finally left the shop by 10:15am, and were back to heading on our way. I was keeping Janine up to date, since we were meeting there, as I had all the tickets.

We finally arrived a little before noon and waited for Janine and her hubby. When they arrived, we entered the Faire grounds and our first stop was to get food. Alana and I got turkey legs.... which I decided I'm NEVER eating again. They were amazing, but a pain to eat. After eating, we continued to wander around for the next few hours. One of the last things we did was to watch the jousting tournament at 2:30 pm. I got a parasol just before that. A beautiful blue one. :D...... anyways, tangent. We watched the tournament, which had a Pirates of the Caribbean feel to it. (I blame the drunk pirate. LOL) After that was over, we and Janine split up, and headed our own ways.

So, that's the shortened version of the day. Hopefully pictures will be up soon.

Okay.....

Just FYI, I posted my Lehi Days Post, but because I started the draft on the 12th of March, that's when it posted. It's there. Trust me. (Below the sorry post.) Enjoy. hehe

(Up Next: Renaissance Festival)
