Well, the observation went WELL, YAY!  Last night I talked to the friend that I have been having some problems with, and that situation is MUCH better.  I've realized that yes I am a worrier, however, sometimes you just have to let go and trust others. 

Lesson learned today:  Let go, and trust that others will be there to help when I fall. 

I'm sorry I'm such a dork sometimes guys.

Way too much to do.  I think I figured out the whole Graduation Hoopla stuff this afternoon.  I'm hoping everyone can come!  (I would love it!)  I need to type out 3 lesson plans tonight and write my "Business Letter" for our Student Teacher Meeting on Wednesday. 

I'm leaving for West Georgia's Colony Installation on Saturday night... which should be so much fun... Iota Delta (as they WILL be called) has done a tremendous job!  Now the girls will finally know everything they've been asking about for so long!  And on a side note... maybe we will get Theta Lambda STEP!  I know Leslie would LOVE to!  (hee hee)

Sometimes I feel like I'm so young.  Like when I'm talking to certain people I feel like I'm so inexperienced.  I act impulsively... I just... I don't know.  And it's only in certain situations that I just don't know how to handle.  I also can't stand getting "patted" on the head, though it's something I know I need to get used to.  Sometimes it's just hard b/c the lines get blurred...  It's not a big deal, just something that has bothered me.

Well, hmmm... let's see... on Friday I got observed by my University Supervisor, and he told me I was doing REALLY WELL!  And, I found 2 people to sublease our APT for the summer!  (YAY, I was way worried about not finding anyone!) 

So, the Praxis is done.  The Music Content & Knowledge was tricky.... but I know I rocked on the Music Concepts & Processes!  I even drew a diagram of a snare drum stick and how to correctly hold it!  YAY! This weekend was TBS/KKY Alumni weekend here at Carolina, and I wish I could've gone to stuff, but I was either studying or taking the stupid (though important) Praxis II.  I'm sooo hoping I pass! 

I can't believe that graduation is coming.  It's scary.  (And getting scarier by the day.)  I'm excited.  Everyone is coming into town on Friday (May 7th).  Graduation is Saturday morning... and then we are all driving down to Charleston and having a Drop In BBQ at the house... then it's off to the Harbor to take everyone out on the town.  (Yay, my parents rock for planning all this!)  And my Dad rocks for opening up his house (aka bachelor pad) to all of my friends!!!!!! 

(Again, if you want to come... you are TOTALLY invited just send my your addy so I can send you an invite!)

Well, I think that's it for now...

Sooooo.  10 more days of student teaching.  24 days till graduation.  My teaching situation is driving me batty... I wish they could figure out WHEN they are going to observe me.  C'est la vie, I guess.  I need to study more for Praxis II... had a study session last night... that went well. 

Talked to the Apt. Complex I want to live in up at State.  It's called Raleigh Apts.  It's right across the street from the Community Music School where I will be teaching, so that's a plus.  However, I need a roommate, so if you go to Michigan State and you are a nice person... I need a ROOMMATE! 

Guess that's all... I'm trying to be more cheery.

I WANT TO SCREAMMMMMMMMM.  Wait, I think I allready did that.  I can't stand boys... they are TOO damn confusing.  I give up.  I think I shall check myself into a NUNNERY.  Wait, what did I just say?  Yeah... maybe I will rethink the nun thing.  However, it would make life, so much easier.  So, here's an EXAMPLE: you tell a girl you don't want a commitment, but then you SWEAR up and down that you want to be friends with her.  Then you avoid her.  You don't return phone calls, and in general avoid anything that has to do with her.  That in my book, makes YOU A LIAR.  If you didn't want to be around someone in the first place, just say so.  It's a lot easier.  I just reread what I wrote and I'm now realizing that this has all the signs of a classic brush off.  *Sadface w/ tear*  Okay... I just need to get over him. 

Okay, so second thing that is stressing me major:  Praxis II.  This test literally makes or breaks me.  And to make matters worse, I'm walking through the union this afternoon and I see another student teacher (she's like AMAZING and knows way more than me in general) so we talk and she tells me that she FAILED hers.  Then she starts telling me questions from the tests, and now I'm wigged to the extreme.  I went into spaz mode tonight... and a bunch of us formed an emergency study session.  I feel more confident with theory, but I'm still spaz worthy. 

I feel like everything is changing.  I thought I was going to be so much better at this end of the year, moving on with life stuff, but I'm not.  I just want to get over this boy so that I can enjoy the last weeks I have with my best friends. 

*Sadface w/ tear*
