Little loose ends update

There are a few topics that I have started and then I got busy and I didn't resolve those topics and so I am going to just have a little bit of an update.

I think I just burst a vein in my elbow. It no longer hurts and there is a huge bruise. I know that I didn't hit it on anything but I know that I put a heavy bag on my shoulder in the same position my arm had to be in for it to hurt really bad.

I am about 2 weeks or so away from putting my application in for my admission into the teaching education program. I am getting really excited to get into the classrooms. If I really like it and I get a job offer I may just teach until Endrit is done with school so that we can have a good savings account. There are many things that could change that option but it is still on the table if I want to do things that way. I talked to my academic adviser and she told me that it was really good that I am getting my application in early. I thought that she might call me an over achiever and not to put it in until after this semester but she wants it ASAP. I feel good that I am on top of things

I am almost half way done with the scuba diving book and workbook in order for me to be prepared to get into the dive tank. I am getting a little bit nervous about it, but I am sure that it will be fun and great and I will have all the knowledge that I need in order to be prepared when that time comes.

I like that I chose to be the first group to give the presentation and hand in our paper. I wanted to be able to get it done and relax for the rest of the semester. Luckily this presentation is on Education. It makes it nicer to study when I am actually interested in the subject. I will be done with that on the 30th. Lucky me.

I have started to write my story, but I am now getting stage fright. I am not that great of a writer and my story deserves to have it's true meaning brought out. There are some parts that I feel is really important but at the same time is a bit TMI for the average reader of this blog. Who knows. I will write an edited one and then keep another one for posterity I guess. Embarass people after I die I guess. I should have the first enstalment "High School" proofread and posted by the end of the week.

Endrit is working on being the first author of a publication. He has only ever been second or more because he wasn't the primary author. Now he will be. It is a nice step for him. I am excited to say that my husband is a writer and a chemist and the smartest person that I consistantly associate with. He is an awesome provider for our family.

It is getting really cold, but I love the smell of decomposing leaves. It is the best smell in the entire world. Even better than rain. The smell of wet, fallen leaves is what I am talking about. Earth's recycling. I love it but it is also sad because that means my least favorite season, winter, is just around the corner.

I am still waiting for the last PRAXIS score to come in but I am feeling more confident about it all the time. It should be here by this time next week. It may take longer than that but I took the test at a not so peak time.

I think that is about all for now. I am just going to school and for the most part enjoying it.
