How Do You Define a Great Week?

Wow, it's been a while....again. What a busy life I have...when did that happen?

So actually, a lot has kind of happened since my last post. Hmm...where to begin? I think I'll start with last Friday:

I have to do ten class observation hours for a Preteaching Pathway class, and I had my first five on Friday at Addison Elementary. It was for a third grade class. Now, I love kids at every age. I could watch Disney Channel and make necklaces and play games and goof off with them all day, and I would love it! But teaching third graders, just sounded like, well, a job to me. (I'm thinking about teaching middle school...I know, I really don't make any sense.) It was a job, but it was an amazing one! When I got home that afternoon, I knew for certain that I do, in fact, want to be a teacher.

Ok, so after school...Back in like December, Nathaniel had said that he wanted to see the Ten Tenors at JCC on February 22nd. I didn't know who they were, but a great plan for a birthday present began to form in my mind. (His birthday's March 18th, so I figured that was close enough.) So, back to last Friday. He picked me up after work, and we went out to eat, to the mall to kill some time, and then to the concert. Every old person in Jackson county and the surrounding area was in attendance. So, that was my impression of how the night was going to go...ten guys singing in order to entertain the 65 and over crowd. Very fortunately, I was wrong. The show was great! And we had a great time. Conclusion: there are some very cool old people in the Jackson area.

Moving on to Saturday:

Nathaniel and I had planned to go and see Robby that Saturday, but our plans fell through, so instead we decided to go to Lansing. Our first stop was the music store. Here's the thing about the music store: I love it! You know that feeling that you get as a kid going to Disney World for the first time? That's exactly how I feel every time I go into a music store. The downside to this, not only is it an expensive guilty pleasure, but there also is not a decent music store in Jackson, so I never actually get new music. Therefore, needless to say, I kind of went a little overboard on Saturday, but let me tell you, it was worth it. I walked out with the sheet music for Augustana's "Boston," Colbie Caillat's "Bubbly," Brad Paisley's "When I Get Where I'm Going," Martina McBride's "God's Will," and the entire book for the movie Pride and Prejudice :) Oh yeah, and the mall was fun too...

Sunday's kind of short. I went out to eat with my parents and look at a few computers. We also went to Target where my wonderful mother got me the new Jack Johnson cd for my birthday. I'm currently enjoying that now :)

Monday I developed a cold. And I got a new computer! It's completely beautiful, and I am completely in love with it

Tuesday was pretty uneventful...I stayed up all night working on a paper that is now not due until after break, but what are you going to do?!?

Wednesday: the celebration of Jennifer's 19th year of life. Also known as my birthday. Well, I woke up at 6:45 so that I could hear my name on the radio! Kelsey had put my name in on 97.5...I love her :) Then I had school, and I found out that I did really well on a history test, so that was nice. Then work. After work, my parents and I picked up Nathaniel and went to Applebee's for dinner.....mmmmm. After a very long car ride home (my dad drove), we watched Kate and Leopold, and I decided that every man needs to come from the late 18th century. Then I took him back to school, and I was tired, so I went to bed. Good birthday :)

Thursday: I didn't end up having class when I got there, so I went to the Holtons', and Thomas and Phil taught me how to look around in Halo...yeah, I will never be any good at video games. AND, yesterday also began my spring break! yay. AND yesterday, I found out that I can talk to people through my computer...yeah, it's cool.

Today: is Friday. And that's the end of the longest post ever :)
