I’m  sorry I haven’t blogged for ages.  I’ve had other things to do and I haven’t felt like writing about life.  But I’m procrastinating on about five papers now and I felt it was time to let the world know I am still alive.  So here, in list form, is what’s been going on lately.

1. I got put on Zoloft over spring break for my social anxiety.  I’ve been trying to take it every day like I’m supposed to, but it’s hard.  I haven’t seen any effects at all, really, but I haven’t been in too many situations that would normally make me anxious so I don’t know…I’m also on a lower dose of Vyvanse, but my sleeping problems haven’t gone away and the medicine still wears off too soon at this dose.  (I know it wears off around noon because that’s when I start getting antsy…)
2. I have my student teaching placement.   I’m teaching fourth graders at Allen Elementary here in Marion next fall with Mrs. Hall. I talked to her on the phone the other day and she seems very nice.  She invited me on a field trip with the class on May 13 if I want to come along and asked me to come and just spend the day in the classroom to see how it works.  She mentioned book clubs and a reward system with marbles on the phone too, so I’m really excited for this.
3. I rearranged my room today–unbunked the beds, put the shelves back on one of the desks (I’m waiting until I get Neville off the desk I’m using to put the other one back on), moved all unnecessary furniture over to the side of the room I’m not using, and packed up the clothes from my dresser, the books from the shelves, and the junk hidden in that other desk.  I am all sweaty, it made a lot of noise that probably scared some people, and the room still looks like something exploded, but at least it’s done.
4. I have five papers to write.  Three are due tomorrow (short ones, thank God), and two long ones are due Wednesday by 5.  I am going to go nuts pretty soon.  Pray for me.
5. I am nearly out of meals.  I think I’ll run out by Friday.  I’ve come up with a solution, though.  I’m going to get money out of my account and buy soup and bread and things at the college store, and I’ll just eat in my room for the last few days of school.  Or, if I feel like going to Baldwin, I’ll pay the $6 for a meal.  I’ve decided not to buy yarn or books or anything online this month because the packages probably won’t get here before I leave for home.
6. I am officially working at Cedar again this summer, from mid-June to the end of July.  I know I won’t earn as much money.  I know I won’t be able to spend as much time on program as I have before, and I’m going to miss it, but I want to get home in August to prepare for student teaching and since schools start on August 23 and I have to be back the day before that, I need a few weeks in August to get ready.

I think that’s about it.  I don’t know if I’ll blog again before I go home.  (I’m not sure how that’s going to work, actually…)  It’s going to be a long week and a half…
