Sarah and the Adventure of Life

Remember my New Year’s Resolution post? I listed some resolutions I had for the new year, and one of those included writing more in my blog. Hahaha, oops. Well, before I knew it, a whole MONTH had gone by. This is me starting off this chapter with a “ My bad! ” Let’s just say that life got a little busy and hectic, but I will do my best to keep you updated on my life from here on out. Besides, how else am I going to relieve stress? Writing is kinda my thing! Let’s start from the beginning of March. The first weekend of the month was dedicated to my local teacher’s organization. I don’t think I’ve delved much into TSTA-SP at Texas Tech, but I’ll just start by saying that it was not a flourishing organization when I joined two years ago. The meetings mainly consisted of the officers and two other members who decided it was worth their time. The student organization was NOT in a good place. Fast forward to a year later when a couple of friends and I decided to adopt the organizat...

It's that feeling you get right before you jump. When you're on the edge of the diving board, peering down at the rippling water.

This means that not only can I move forward in my degree program, but it also means that I am certified to teach 4th-8th grade students math and science. Before I took my test, I was unbelievably nervous. My college experience has been grand, but it has had its fair share of doubts and downfalls. I've failed tests, doubted my abilities, and stayed awake at night asking God, "Is this really what You want of me?...

Well January has come and gone. I am a little behind on my resolution to write three blog posts a month, but maybe February is the month where I catch up. Well...it is the shortest month, so cut me some slack if I, erm, slack! Last we left off I was on the brink to return to school. Well, despite the dramatic storm that hit my hometown , everyone was okay. The pigs and I packed up a couple days later and headed back to Lubbock, TX to start the spring semester. Upon my return, I came home to both of my roommates, Nikki and Mary, rearranging their rooms. This was funny because I had actually planned to rearrange my room, too. New year, New room? Anyway, the semester started on a Thursday which was strange in its own sense. I was glad that we didn't have a lot of school days to attend upon our return, but I admit that I kind of wished we had just started on a Monday so my whole week didn't feel off! Anyway, this semester is education-packed for me! I'm enrolled in Classr...
