Where Does the Time Go...?

Well life has been super crazy...pretty much all year!!! I said I wanted to be busy because it would help this deployment go much quicker and IT HAS! At times though, I feel so overwhelmed with everything going on and then thinking about all the things to come. I am excited but at the same time I am nervous and scared about everything. I just hope that I have enough time to get everything done that I need to before moving to Cali. It's really hard having your husband & best friend so far away in a foreign country. He doesn't always have time to talk and it always seems to be that way when I really need him. There are days I just feel like I am gonna fall apart but somehow I push through. I am lucky to have such great family and friends in my life..that has made everything easier but ultimately at the end of the day...I just want my husband.

My field placement hours are going pretty well but slow at times. AS much as I love working with kids and I want to be a teacher..it can be soooo incredibly boring to be in the classroom when you aren't the one doing all the teaching! Thankfully on Monday I was able to get my feet a little wet. I was able to instruct the classes on the activity they were going to do that day and I also read a book to them AND I also did a group reading and discussion with some of the class, which was really great. I am now in the process of working on a lesson plan and will then have to teach it in the next couple weeks..I am pretty nervous about this but I think since I am the one coming up with it, I will know what I am talking about and wanting to do..so it will make it less nerve wracking..I HOPE!
