With all of this work left to do for the end of the semester, I'm glad that I have my Easter candy left to keep me going!

The Homestretch!
I am so glad that I have about a week to get some more projects done for school. That gives me some time to take a break and relax in between my assignments! I still have one more lesson plan to write for this semester in my ED 340 class, and then I am going to present it in a few weeks. I'm nervous but excited. I also have to present another music lesson for my Music Fundamentals for Elementary School Teachers course. The last time I presented, my professor told me that I looked really nervous, so hopefully this next time I'll be more confident looking. I love making up the music lessons because I get to be as creative as I want by having the students move around and sing and be active. As much work as this music class has been, it is fun to do all of the songs and activities that we get to do.

Let's Go Yankees!
This week has been so hectic but it has been worth every minute of no sleep! I knew that I was going to last night's Yankee game against the Minnesota Twins, so I knew that I had a lot of work to do so that I could go. After all of the stress it was worth the fun!
The rain, the cold and my sleepiness couldn't have stopped me from going to the game yesterday! I had such a blast! This was the first Yankee game that I have ever been too and it was so exciting! Our seats were really good, but far up so all of the players looked like little ants. It was also my first time riding the Subway...and it was so scary! Being a little person in such a busy place is so scary! I kept trying to stay with my friends, but sometimes people would cut through us and separate us a little bit. At one point, I grabbed onto my friend's boyfriend's arm and held on to him so that I wouldn't separate! The Subway itself wasn't too bad, but I didn't like being squished in with random people. I've heard bad stories about the Subway so I was on my guard! Once we got to the stadium, I was so impressed by the new field. Since I never got to go to the old Yankee Stadium, I don't know the difference, but I do know that this new stadium was so cool! There were so many food vendors and I wish it was warmer so I could have gotten some ice cream! Nothing is better than eating cold ice cream on a hot day, especially when my friend kept talking about eating the Carvel ice cream all week!!
Amy, Sarah and I!
All in all I had such a great time! I want to keep going back and watching more games..except I'd rather avoid the Subways...they're too scary for this country girl! Like my friends and I said while commuting to the game, "Country girls need to stay in the country"! I'm not a city person at all, so I was so lost! Thank God my friends all knew where to go!!
I've been finally getting my journal entries done for my education class. So far I have only done two, but thats two more than I had done before!
Thank God It's THURSDAY!!

I can't believe its over!
After about two months of observing my co-operating teacher, I can't believe that I am done! I'm so sad that I won't be going back there to help the children and participate in their fun lessons! I had the best time helping them write papers, and revise their work and even give out spelling tests! Everyday was something unique and the children were so interesting.
Now that I'm done with my hours, the hard part is yet to come...doing my observation journal entries. I had every intention of writing a journal entry after every day I observed, but then I got busy or I was too tired to do more work. Hopefully I can focus enough and remember enough of the information I need to complete all of the journal entries.
I can't believe there is only one more month left of school! It feels like it was just last week that the Fall semester began and now we are already making our schedules and getting ready to pack up! So sad! There can never be a new beginning unless there was an ending though, and ending yet another semester just means that we are all getting one step closer to reaching our goal of becoming teachers!
