I am just a girl. A girl who has wanted to be a teacher since kindergarten with the exception of a few semesters of college after being told by her favorite elementary school teacher that teaching wasn't what it used to be. I am a girl that pretends to be tough but really is wounded by certain things that people say. I bruise easily, physically, mentally and spiritually. I love my family and my real friends more than anything. I say real friends because I've had some crappy friends both recently and in the past. I love working with kids of all ages but I'm leaning towards upper elementary and middle school. I'm doing my student teaching this fall and I can't wait. I love weird things, like colors no one else likes...like orange and brown. I like using ... which is annoying to people but who doesn't like a good ellipsis once in a while. I love to read. When I'm having a bad day, there's nothing I love more than putting on some comfy pajama pants and curling up in bed to watch a girl move, a chick flick, and I'm not going to lie sometimes there's a teddy bear involved. I hate crying but I'm a stupid girl so I cry a lot. I love dr pepper and mr pibb is good too. I couldn't live without coffee and I can only survive tuesday and thursday classes with the help of my carmel macchiato with soy milk, I think survival is worth $3.49. I love used book stores. I like crocheting. I love dinosaurs and most science related things. I kind of hate physics though. I want a dog, really badly. I have four hermit crabs that are pretty cool. I have a fish and an african dwarf frog as well. My fish was a replacement fish for the first fish I ever had that died. His name was Tsunami and he was with me during my first year away at school so my replacement fish doesn't seem as cool. I did have two frogs but the big one ate the little one, I call him Killer now. When I'm feeling good about myself, I'm pretty much perfect but when I'm feeling down, I have a hard time seeing anything good about myself. I want to go to the zoo. I like llamas because it's fun to say. I spell because wrong alot, I type fast and for some reason my fingers feel that it should be spelled becuase. I worry a lot about being annoying because deep down inside I worry that people will get sick of me. I love having painted fingernails but I'm the worst at painting them and I'm too cheap to pay someone to paint them for me. I like scented candles. I like to pretend I'm creative sometimes which is why I have a picture I drew for my art class on my bedroom door. I like history. I like writing essays. I am a good writer. I need to eat foods that are good for me and I have a hard time accepting that. I've recently discovered that I love to cook. I love movies. I love school even though I wish I was finished with college right now. I like watching stupid television. Some of my favs include real world and other mtv reality shows, reruns of sister, sister and boy meets world on the disney channel, and comedians on comedy central. I love singing in my car. That's also one of the reasons that I love making the two and half hour drive home from college.
