MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Santa was busy this year and brought me three new bow ties! Super excited about those... But I also had some Christmas cash burning a hole deep in my pocket and I decided to take a trip to the mall. Turns out Macy's was having an AWESOME sale... I'm talking about $50 bow ties for $9 each... I bought a lot...
I also got the best Christmas present of all a few days before Dec 25... I got my student teaching placements. My teaching begins at Shady Grove Elementary School and finishes at Deep Run High School, both in Henrico County. The excitement is building each day before I start (on Jan. 7).
This semester is going to be such a blessing. Glad to be back home in Richmond making great connections, training for summer triathlons, and enjoying all that home has to offer. Definitely going to miss my friends at school though, my awesome apartment, and my amazing girlfriend. Luckily, she got my an incredible Christmas gift: a "Student Teaching Survival Kit" (complete with chocolate, pencils, sticky notes, advil, kleenex, hand sanitizer, and even a wine glass). Cannot wait for the football banquet next weekend and a chance to visit my girlfriend (and she is even letting me have a date with another woman! Ms. Kathy, from DHall, and I are going to the JMU football banquet together!)
I probably won't post before January 7, but look for a great outfit for that Monday!
