| School has been out for about a month and I have been working for about that long. I am back working as a receptionist/secretary for the lawyer. I really am enjoying it and my boss is nice. He is willing to work around my school schedule so next semester I will be able to work two days a week (the days I don't have classes).
Janet graduated earlier this month and I was able to come down for her party. Mostly I have been staying up near school. My job is there and I really enjoy being in that area.
My friend Amanda and I have been able to get together about once every two weeks. We are both working and not at school so there is some physical distance which affects how often we can get together, but we both want to keep meeting to hang out. Thankfully I don't works Tuesdays and neither does she so that has been proving to be a good day to meet.
There hasn't been much else going on, just work and what-not. I am enjoying my summer, but there are things about being in classes which I do miss.
I will leave you with these few thoughts I had recently:
Peace...what is true peace? For me it has become an unexplainable feeling of trust for what God has for me. There have been some things which I have been concerned about for sometime. Recently, I had this...sense...that God's will was what I truly wanted, more than my own. I would be okay if He told me yes or no or wait. I still want what I have always wanted, but there is no longer the same sense of anxiety I have felt in the past about what if He doesn't give me the answer I wanted. It is strange and yet incredibly amazing all at the same time. I can't completely explain it, I just know...

| I taught my last lesson for the semester on Monday. It went well, I was a little stressed and didn't have as much time as I thought I would. Still, it went well and I had fun. My master teacher said I did a good job, that is always nice to hear.
The more I teach, the more I realize that this is what I want to do. I love working with the kids and being able to help them figure out the answers to their questions. It is so much fun to figure out how to lead them in such a way that the kids find the answers to their own questions. It may sound corny, but I love seeing their eyes light up when they realize that they can do it themselves.
I have a job lined up for the summer. It will be at the very least part time work, but possibly full-time. I will be going back to work as a receptionist for the lawyer I worked for over interterm. If I do only get part time work I will be looking for another job, but if it is full-time then I'll just have the one job.

| My lesson on Robert Frost went really well. I used a suggestion from a friend and introduced poetry using songs. After all, songs are simply poetry put to music. I think it really helped make the rest of the lesson more interesting and my master teacher complimented me on that. I am really having fun with all the experience I have been getting this semester.

| I have a drama lesson to teach tomorrow. I am excited about the lesson, I think that it'll be fun. We'll start with some warmup activities to practice projection then I have a short play for them to do.
I am teaching another lesson on Monday on "Ribbons." It's a short story by Lawrence Yep. I hope all goes well with that lesson, especially since it will be my last lesson for the semester.
All-in-all I have had a lot of fun and have really enjoyed getting a chance to teach.

| I taught my first lesson in the junior high yesterday. It was a lesson on grammar--the uses of underlining/italicizing, dashes, and quotation marks. It went well. I need to work on being a little more clear in my explanations, but all-in-all I feel I did a good job for my first lesson.
I am teaching a lesson tomorrow on Robert Frost, his poem "The Runaway." I am excited and a bit nervous. I still have a lot of work to do for my lesson plan.
