Long time

Wow I can't believe how long its been since I've even been onto Blogger. Between teaching classes, coaching and then feeding my FanFiction addiction I haven't even thought about coming on here.
My teaching classes are finally over...for now. I'm officially ready to get to student teach but now I'm stuck in the limbo that is the CSET black hole. That damn test is going to be a thorn in my side. I have to pass my last section of the test before I can student teach and have until September to get that done. Along with that headache is the task of making sure all the other requirements are fulfilled before I can actual receive my credential, this includes taking a class on US history. I thought I was done with all that in High School. Social Studies has never been close to a fun subject for me, hence why I took it in summer school to get it out of the way. The classes themselves for the program were not difficult in the least. I actually had a lot of fun with my cohort. I'm going to miss them and hope that we will able to at least keep in some kind of touch to know how they are doing.
Coaching has been an exciting adventure. This year I got to coach the Freshmen Girls Basketball team all by myself. It was frustrating and exhilarating all at the same time. It was fun to watch the girls learn the game and get better each day. The excitement on their faces when they first scored a basket or their first win, is why I love coaching. I was actually able to coach them to a winning season. It was the only one in the three levels of the program to have a winning record, so that certainly helped my confidence. I also kept up with being an assistant to the varsity team. They on the other hand did not have such a great season. They had one of the worst records since the school was opened, but I have to give it to the girls...they never quit. They even made it into the playoffs, although it only lasted a game. I'm a bit torn when it comes to coaching. I love it above everything else that I do but I'm not sure if I'm ready to take on a whole program and head coaching job. I still have a lot to learn and what the job entails. I just hope that I can learn it soon and fast. The opportunity to take over may come sooner than later.
Lastly, FanFiction's pull on me seems to be never ending. I can't help but always go on their at least once a day. I know my family thinks I'm ridiculous but I've always loved to read and the variety that is on FF is so enticing. I can't even keep count of how many stories I've read, let alone how many I'm in the middle of reading because they haven't been finished yet. I love to be able to see all the different variations people create just by going off of a series of books. (If you haven't already figured it out from my previous posts, I'm talking about Twilight) There has to be millions of stories and none of them are the same. Even those that have the same idea, the authors seem to view events and personalities different. It's not only an addiction to Twilight but also an addiction to imagination and creativity. I find myself in awe of some of the authors. Their writing styles and ability to create such vivid alternate worlds leave me completely fascinated. I don't know if I'll ever get tired of reading it.
Well I should probably get out of bed and dressed for the day. Hopefully I will be on here a little more often and have more to write about when I start my new job for the summer.

Movie night

Going out with the family for a movie night. I love when we get to go out and just be a family. With the $2 theater so close it gets to happen a lot more often than it used to.
I found out that there is 2 drive-in theaters nearby and some really good movies coming soon to them. For $7 you get to see 2 movies. I can't wait to go!! I've always wanted to go to a drive-in theater and soon I'm going to.
It's nice to be able to go out on a whim and just hang out. I haven't done it in so long, because everyone has been so busy, including myself. I feel like my mind has just been working overtime and was getting burned out. Now I get some extremely needed chillaxin' time.

I must have forgotten to post this when I wrote it months ago. So here it is. It's short, just a little blurb I felt like letting loose.
