The question is how do I relax?

So I think that I am going insane. I have all this free time that I am not use to having since I am finished with school. I know that this is the summer so most people are not in school anymore but I am driving myself crazy. I clean my house like everyday! It isn't that dirty but I find something to clean. I work when most people are at home and am at home when most people are at work so I can't really hangout with people. It is mainly me and the dog from day to day. I cook almost everyday even if there are things already cooked for the day I am cooking for tomorrow! I don't think that I know how to relax!
I don't really like not having plans or really being alone all the time, and it sucks! I'm hoping that I begin to stop thinking about everything in the future. Since I have all of this free time I think about painting the house, working outside in the yard, I make lists of things that I want to do today and the next day. I think about things at night before I try to go to sleep. I JUST CAN"T STOP!!!!! It is driving me and Russ crazy!
I do go to work and I love it there. Well I really don't like work but it gives me something to do and I like that aspect. I don't like retail the customers are HORRIBLE and the people that I work with they are the same way some days. I have a supervisor who really should not be there because she doesn't like to do things and I end up having to do them, yeah me! Work gives me time away from thinking about all the things that I could be doing.

I think that I need to get away and take a vacation!!!

College up to GRADUATION

So I did it!!! I graduated! I think that after you spend your whole life going to school then graduating High School you have so many things to look forward to doing with your life. Some people decide to go straight to work where every they have been working while in school. Some people decide to look for jobs, some get married, have babies and become stay at home moms :) Others go to college just to find out they either don't like it, aren't cut out for it, or just get homesick. While others go to college and graduate. I think that all of the above are all choices that we make for one reason or another. I think that whichever path you have taken makes you who you are and not everyone goes to college and gets a job they were hoping for anyways.
As excited as I was to go to college I was also nervous. I started off at UNC Greensboro, which I loved, for Deaf Education, which I also love. I loved the school and all the great people that I met while I was there, I met some really great friends. From a mishap that my mom ex-husband had two and a half years later I moved back home to take care of my brother. I decided to go to UNC Charlotte. The great thing about UNC Charlotte was that my three bestest friends went there and I was able to room with one of them. I loved being there because I knew people and was close to home. I also loved getting to spend time with my besties that I had not seen since High School. Our last year together we got an on campus apartment and had some of the best times. I miss those times. I think that since then we have moved and lived with our sweeties :) I kept going to school even living in Waxhaw (45 minutes away) and having to travel. I kept telling myself I had to do it because I had gone this far. I had some awesome encouragement from many of the great people in my life.
So finally my student teaching... I forgot that I was even in school some days even though I was teaching. I loved doing it and knew that this is the reason that I was going to be graduating. I think that this last semester was the greatest because it really made me push to the extra limit. And then I did it... I graduated. I felt like I had gone to school for my whole life and I have only been out for 2 days but i feel like I should have a job and be doing the job. I knew that this was not going to happen, but in all due time I guess.

Graduations on the way!

Student teaching is over (tear.) I loved my cooperating teacher, the kids in my class, and all the people at the school. I felt excepted into the teacher world while I was there, it was great! I loved teaching, playing with the children, and overall learning from them as well as the teachers. I know know so much more than you could ever learn from a book. I am lucky to have been able to have this experience. The best part is that I made an A.
I was so sad on Friday because it was my last day at the school. I kept telling myself I was not going to get upset, but really that is not me. All the kids went to the carpet and were strangely really quiet and then my teacher posed the question "what should we do?" Some of the children said have a birthday party. They don't really know about different kinds of parties and that is what they are use to having parties for so that was cute. So I was given a present and as I oped it all the children were staring at me to see my expression. They had made me a book of all the things that we had done together, I cried, of course. The children were asking if I was alright because I was crying, My teacher had to explain that adults cry because they are happy sometimes. Then all the children all gave me a big hug, which did not help the crying situation. We had a cake made from cupcakes, my favorite. She read the Dr. Seuss book Hooray for Diffendoofer Day, it was great!

This Saturday I will be GRADUATING!!! I am excited as well as scared! I am so excited because I will have more time to spend with my honey, my family and friends. I am scared because I don't know about finding a job or what I am going to do with all of this free time I am going to have now! I guess I have been in school so long that it is going to feel really weird not to go to the University, have homework or have to listen to some teacher talk and have to take note! I am trilled that that is over! I have plans to go to school to do different things and hopefully that will come true, with this economy who knows! I am just so exciting to be accomplishing all the "big humps" in life (getting married and graduating) you hope that you will accomplish these goals but you never really know if they are going to happen. I am so glad that I was able to get to this place in my life....
Next Hump :
Finding a job
Keeping the job
Having a little one
