Busy Busy Busy!

To say that I have been busy is a slight understatement. Kinda. I've been busy doing things that I don't necessarily HAVE to be doing, (aka... not school) which is the best kind of busy!

I've been working 3 nights a week, and finally starting to have a breakthrough with a couple of my kids. Some nights are better than others (the nights when nobody comes are the best I think), but most of the time I really do enjoy the time at the pool with the kids.

I've been in a 3rd grade class for RST which has proved challenging. I have worked with a variety of kids of different ages before: pre-k, kinder, 1st, 2nd, and 5th, but I have never worked with third graders, and so it has been a challenge for me. I'm learning a lot, and being pushed out of my comfort zone is a good experience. I'm working on a lesson for them over fractions (yes... I'm not only in third grade, but I am in third grade MATH..), for next week, so we shall see how that goes!

All in all though, I have been busy being a 2nd Semester Senior. What does that really imply? LOTS of things! School hasn't been too bad except for calculus BC and English. It's actually kinda fun because all of the teachers know we are close to the end, and have been pretty easy on us. I've been hanging out with church friends, and talking a bunch with camp friends. I've been embracing the moments I have with my friends on swim at Cy-Falls, knowing that we don't have much time left together. I've been going crazy with Relay for Life stuff. I've been enjoying time at home with my family, because that time is going to go by fast as well. All in all, I've just been enjoying every second, and having a great semester. Time is going to go by so fast, and I'm definitely making the most of the time left!
