Day 28: What doesn't kill you....

.....makes you stronger...or some other bullshit that people tell you....sorta like a band-aid for a broken arm; may cover up the wound, but won't heal squat. People mutter this phrase in a vain attempt to "help you"....yet it never seems to work. I'm running around like an idiot with not enough time in the day to truly let my work shine. I'm cramming stuff in....exercise, homework...no me time and little time for God, which hurts even worse. In the end, it's gonna work out...no doubt about that. Oh I just wish I could see the end!

I promise I'll stop bitching. I'm sure it's something in the air/water.

On a lighter note, my first student teaching placement rocks. I feel like I'm growing to be Mrs. Carter's friend, not just her helper. She's very supportive, which is so comforting. She's been in teaching for about five years now, so she can still appreciate all the hard work I've been doing to get ready to teach. It boggles my mind everything I'll need to do before I'll be the best teacher I can be. Somedays I wish I would have majored in liberal arts =] JUST KIDDING! No disrespect meant.

I worked out sans trainer last night....I was concerned with jiggling. I did some interval training on the indoor track....there was a basketball game going on below me and all I kept thinking was "please God don't let my butt jiggle!" I can finally see some "real" results. Skirts and pants I haven't worn in a lonnnnnnng time not only fit but look great. It's exciting to see my body change. I will be freaking hot when all of this is said and done.

I wish I could go to sleep but I have too much to do. I'm telling you, when May comes around I'll be one very happy girl. Still no changes to my degree audit. But my thought is this....if I wasn't meant to get this far, I wouldn't have. So I haven't given up hope...and I haven't let others tell me otherwise. My mom, God bless her, has been running around freaking out about everything. Is it wrong to say that I don't want to become that when I get older? Don't get me wrong...I love her dearly...I just don't want to freak out about stuff like she does.

This is my year of completion. I've come so far. I just don't want to lose it this close to the finish line.
