busy bee.

This past week I have focused a lot of my time on organizing my stuff for this semester. I have three portfolios to keep track of (one being online) throughout my time in the college of education and countless observations to get done asap for this semester. I feel less stressed with everything having its own place and being able to know exactly where everything is. 

I finally worked this week, the first time in three weeks. My next pay check is seriously going to be $0.
:/  

Here are pictures of what I did this past week:



I applied to San Pedro Scripture Camp for the summer. I'm crossing my fingers I get chosen to join the counselor team! If I do this it will basically mean I'll be living at this camp for two months, I'm super excited about it and the money is pretty awesome too!

This is my attempt at getting organized, it was a lot more confusing then it looks.

As I organized I finished the sixth season of The Office. Now I need to get caught up with this season!!

As I was getting ready to go out last night a HUGE (this picture does not do it justice and I was too scared to get closer to it) grasshopper was FLYING around my room.

I went to Pine Crest this morning (7:45) to observe Ms. Bailey's literature block for an hour and a half. It was a good experience and now I'm confused (again!) as to what grade I want to teach, I forgot how fun 1st graders are!

These are two of my hard copy portfolios. One is for ESOL and the other for Reading. They look pretty naked now, but by the time I graduate they will be overflowing with work. I'm kind of dreading this.

 
This bottom shelf is now designated for all of my books and notebooks, which are filled with tons of teaching resources and lesson plans classmates and myself have created. I'm thinking I'm going to need to clear the shelf above it though and make the whole bookshelf for the college of education.

See ya later bloggy.

Harry Potter and Jesus.

So basically the past week I've been to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, been busy busy busy with school and helped out with my church's high school retreat Friday-Sunday.

Valentines Day + the 3 year anniversary is coming up fast, I should probably figure out what the hell I'm going to get my bf before it's too late!

Here's pictures from the past week (the majority all of them are from Harry Potter):

Zonko's Joke Shop, there were way too many people to get decent shots of it though :/  

"Shh.. the walls have ears"


Honeydukes








d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s.


Hogwarts Castle

The line itself for this ride was amazing, I wanted to spend hours in it so I could see everything!


sorting hat



Three Broomsticks


Ollivanders


This obviously isn't a great picture (taken on the bfs iphone) BUT I had to include it because I was the "chosen one" at Ollivanders and got to mess with the wands and shout out spells!!

Ollivanders, the lighting was awkward so it was hard to get good pictures in there.


My one random picture from the "Building the Kingdom " retreat (hints the swords we had to blow up and crown).. I was too busy to take any others.
