| AmazingnessSo...what can I say? I am very pleased with my life right now. I live with my grandparents, so...no rent, no food costs, no utilities....no income but whatever. Who cares? I am LOVING student teaching so far. Yes, it will be hard. I will be pulling my hair out of my head by the end it will be so stressful, but I love it anyway. I love the kids, I love my cooperating teacher, I love the principal. It's a good time all around. I'm a respected member of my school's family now and I love it. I may actually get a job there next year....depending on the district hiring and everything. Of course, the early morning suck. Going from getting up at 11 every day to getting up at 6 is a BIG change. Bedtime is earlier and it takes me a couple of cups of coffee to get going in the morning. I'm a completely different person, though, after I get my coffee. Love it. I'm doing the "Biggest Loser" challenge at the school, and I think I may have fighting chance. It's based on percentages and I am the highest I've ever been in weight right now. Also, teaching is more exercise than I expected...I come home famished and exhausted every day...but fulfilled....and I hold off on snacking most of the time, so I am losing weight that way, and I am running a mile on the treadmill everyday. For those of you who have known me forever and say "Steph, you cannot lose weight, you are skinny" I will remind you that I have gotten married and comfortable...and most of my colleagues admit that I have a few pounds to shed, at least. My goal is 10-15 lbs, which still leaves me heavier than August, and yet in a more healthy range. Being married is fabulous as ever. It's nice to be student teaching together, too, because we can motivate each other and keep our griping to ourselves so we don't look bad in the workplace. There's just nothing better than waking up next to him every morning.  Welp...time to go....dinner time! |
