It's Been Awhile

It's been a little while since I've written. Since last time, I've completed all the paperwork and portfolio work for my teaching license. I handed everything in the week before Christmas. I am pretty sure I won't actually see the license though until March or April because I know that Dr. Seider will take nearly forever to send everything in. I've been checking my transcipts every day, I'm not sure why, because in reality I know that it's probably not actually going to show anything for awhile. I have started my long-term sub position, and subbed for 4th and 5th grade classrooms now too.
I have not been drinking soda, as a 'part' of my New Year's Resolution. However, I agree with Cassie on her blog. I am not just 'not drinking soda', I am trying to be a better person over all and help other people become better as well. It's only going okay. I feel like at times I am being really harsh when trying to get people to do better. Maybe I should change that to help support people instead of help them to be better.
New Year's was a really fun night. We started out by having Cass make dinner for all of us and an old friend, Emily, was able to stop in to eat with us. Afterwards, we headed off to the bar in Port, Schooner's. They have this upper bar area that we drank in last year and we wanted to go to the same place again because we had so much fun. We made this year's new year's night even better. Mia, Ericka, Paul, Cassie, Julie, Dave, Tiffany, Corey, Nixie, Emily and Josh were all there. Although a few left early, it was still a great evening! As you can tell from some of the pictures Tiffy added, it was a great time. It's also a good thing that I didn't drive with Lacey back to Baton Rouge. She wanted to leave right away on the 1st and trust me, I was in NO shape to sit in a car for 8 hours. I didn't even get out of bed until 3 p.m. We actually started out until nearly bar time this year and didn't crash at 12:01!!! I am quite proud of us! I was definitely a great start to a new year!!!
