Finito!

Okay, so I have no idea if that's the correct way to spell finished in, what, Spanish, or not. Maybe I just made that up! Anyways, I am. I am finished with my teaching course! It's rather bittersweet. We have been looking for this day for 3 weeks, but it saddens me because we have all become a pretty tight-knit group. We have our inside jokes, shared frustrations, and memories. We crammed so much into a small time period and spent the past 2 days presenting/teaching our peers. Quite intimidating, but I felt as if I thrived on it.

Panic started this morning when I arrived way early, walked into the commons, then realized I had left my bag with all my materials at home! There was no way on this planet to get what I had left---magazines, scissors, my group dividing materials---before my presentation at 8:30 (with class stuff before). Thankfully, I have a loving husband who rolled straight out of bed when I called at 7:50, slid on flip-flops, grabbed my bag, and drove the 25 minutes to bring my items to me. He saved the day! And then things went just wonderfully! In fact, I was even asked to present twice! That was quite the honor. My lesson was on persuasion in advertising and the use of logos. We played a fun group game that I copied/adapted from Guess the Logo (link). Seriously, check it out. I can almost assure you that you don't pay as much attention to details as you believe you do. And no cheating! (Pretend I said that in my teacher voice!)

I almost hate to go back to work Monday; not because of the people or anything, but I just hate sitting for so long. It's only for a few more weeks; another goodbye that will be bittersweet. But changes are a'comin' for so many. David and I are still searching for a house, and that is taking its sweet time. I'm not sure what will happen. I know God has the home for us, but it's definitely stressing me to still be looking! I'm so ready for a place to call home and know we'll be staying more than a few months (like when we moved from our old apartment to the one we're currently in). So many details, so little time! (So it seems.)
