Eat, Sleep, Teach.

"When are you gonna blog again, you haven't updated in a while?...and your last blog was boring." - Jennifer

Apparently my last blog was boring... and I'm beginning to realize more and more that this is actually not a "blog."  This is a place where I go and type funny stories about my family.. TO my family...

Basically I could type a mass e-mail to my family and save them the trouble of having to call each other(mainly Aunt Judy and my mom) to say "Lauren has updated her blog."

Even so I would like to think that one day my stories will be famous and maybe be made into a book or a movie like Julie & Julia... though I think that would require a constant theme of some sort.

Anyway... I'm blogging because I'm on Spring Break.  It's pretty much the only time I've had to do any writing since January 25th.  The day my social life bit the dust.

I've been Student Teaching, up at 5 AM down for the count by 8:30 every evening... and weekends?  They fly by...filled with lesson plans and the only real "adult" (if you consider 20-somethings adults) conversations I get all week... so blogging?  No time. Until now.

Student Teaching is going really well! I like my school, my cooperating teacher, and LOVE my kids.  First graders say the funniest things and they are really sweet! I love first grade curriculum, they are a lot more self sufficient than Kindergarteners although I do love some 5-6 yr olds.  I have a new story every day and I am really excited about being able to have my own classroom and lets be honest.. a paycheck. 

So yeah, that's pretty much my life right now! Teach, sleep, fill out job applications.. and try and remember to eat sometime in those free moments.  I complain a lot, but I do love the structure and routine of it all! I value my free time with family and friends a lot more.  AND I'm excited about the next 6 months of my life, although I have NO clue where I'll be! 

AND I promise, the next time I think of something ironic or even remotely funny to blog about I WILL! It's just that usually all those ideas come from my mom.. and I'm pretty sure she's sick of bein ragged on... which means I'm all out of material. :)

Until then.
