I've been a little behind on this whole blogging business. Life is getting crazy with the semester ending this next week. I can't tell if I'm excited or nervous. It's finally hitting me that I will no longer be living in the same apartment or with any of the same people. After two semesters together we have a lot of memories and its going to to be weird not see any of them every day. I already can't wait to go to Alicia's wedding in February so I can see everyone! :)
Classes have been great this semester, I can't even begin to describe all of things I have learned. I just wish my mind could be more like a sponge and absorb everything I am taught. I try so hard to remember everything but I'm afraid that I am missing things! This whole going to school year round is like a double edged sword.. I get to learn all the time, which is great! Except I'm going to get done early, which means my time in the University learning everything I can is coming to an end faster.. However, not going year round means I have long breaks without learning.. Might just have to go to graduate school so I can be in school much longer and continue to learn :)
Work is going great! Conner (Buzz) is letting me play with his Toy Story toys, and is using his imagination more than I have ever seen. We are "entering" the books and acting out all of the pages and adding our own fun to each. This is the most rewarding "job" I have ever had. I'm telling you I learn more about myself, life, patients, and love every day I work with him than I thought possible. His laugh is contagious, even if I don't have a clue what he's laughing at. His imagination is invigorating. His love is pure. We could all learn so much from his example, I feel blessed to be learning from him as much as he is learning from me.
The other day Conner was playing with a newer toy, I looked at him and said, "Buzz I love your new toy! Who gave it to you?" He simply responded, "My Father." I smile and said, "OH yeah!? Your Mom and Dad gave you a new toy! That is so fun!" He turns his head, looks straight in my eyes and says, "No, my Father, the one in Heaven." That was that, all I could do was smile at him. I have tried to keep his attitude with me this week and remember that our Father in Heaven gives us everything, big or small. And I'm grateful for everything He is willing to give me.
Life's going great. I was asked by my history professor to be his TA next semester! I am SO excited. I can't begin to explain it. He told be I can teach a few lectures since I'm an Ed major to start getting experience. Next semester has a lot of fun coming toward me. Bring it on! :)
P.S. It was 36 degrees today! So warm :) Isn't it pathetic that I think that is warm? I didn't wear tights with my skirt, and wasn't even cold! Hallelujah! Keep the sunshine and warm weather coming! :)
