I'M DONE!!!

Lol! Hi!

I am SO sorry that I have been gone so long. It's been really crazy here between my birthday, school "stuff", and tennis starting. So, I'm going to try harder to make it on more.

So, as you can tell from my title, I have some exciting news.

Drumroll please! *drumroll*

I am done my thesis project! That means that I have completely completed the project and handed in my thesis paper. It's HUGE! My paper is assembled in this order:

- Title Page
- Dedication
- Achknowledgments
- My Abstract
- Table of Contents
- Thesis paper
- Works Cited page
- Appendix

Now, you have to know....my paper is 11 pages long. My appendix is at least double that I'd say. It is HUGE, to restate the said above *wink*

I feel great about it! I think it really is well done. On the flip side, I'm sad the project is done because I don't work with the kids through it anymore. BUT I am now doing an internship with one of the first grade classes and kindergarten classes everyday, so I DO get to work with them still! YAY!

Now that I've handed everything in, Mr. Streeter will bind them into books. So, once I get mine back I can take pictures and post them so you can see the final product.

Have any of you had big deadlines looming that have stuck with you? How'd it feel to get them passed in!? (I'm sure somewhat of a relief....know the feeling!)

I'll be posting another post really soon *crosses fingers* I have it all planned out. So, stay tuned! I appreciate all your patience.
Talk to you soon!

Guess what came today!?!?!

I just wanted to post a really quick post before heading to the doctors....

Guess what came today!? My KINDLE!! YAY!!!! It's beautiful! I'll post a picture of it sometime and tell you more about it/my reasons why I wanted one later. I don't have time right now : /

However, I will tell you that this was a birthday gift from my dad and Joanne. The case was a gift from my sister, Kim, and her boyfriend.

Talk to you soon!!

Thanks again!
Until next time,

Kissing the Blarney Stone

Hi!
I told you that I would do a post including a video that I shouwed the 1st graders in class one week. This is a video of people kissing the Blarney Stone, so that the kids could have a better understanding of how it actually works. It really did help! So, here it is:



Isn't that cool!? I've actually been to Ireland with my mom, sister, aunt, and grandparents. We've done a lot of traveling together. Anyway, Mom, Alicia, Donna (aunt), and I all walked (more like hiked!!) up all the stairs in Blarney Castle to get to the stone. It was really cool, but kind of scary because I had to take my glasses off : / I couldn't see a thing!!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed that! Have any of you been to Ireland before and kissed the Blarney Stone? I'd LOVE to hear your stories!!
