* Rule 8: DON’T TRY TO CREATE AND ANALYZE AT THE
SAME TIME. THEY’RE DIFFERENT PROCESSES.

i kissed dating goodbye.

haha....funny title eh? i just found out that my new pastor, (of two weeks) who i really like, is an author.... he has written several books and i just found out that he wrote "I Kissed Dating Goodbye." funny funny...i never read it but i heard tons about it...

that pretty little cake over there was made for Opa (my uncle's dad) for his 83rd birthday! vanilla with lemon curd and raspberries! it was delicious....

school is okay....finishing my fourth theory paper of the weekend....observations start in a week though and i am really stoked about getting in a classroom.....my first school to observe in is on 12 acres of land! it is beautiful!

i miss you guys and have a great Sunday!

Rule 7: The only rule is work.
IF YOU WORK IT WILL LEAD TO SOMETHING.
IT’S THE PEOPLE WHO DO ALL OF THE WORK ALL THE TIME
WHO EVENTUALLY CATCH ON TO THINGS.

throwback from the 60s.

Every Saturday, protesters stand on opposite corners of the major intersection downtown and have a "pro war"/"no war" honking contest...it is HYSTERICAL! I heard about them and expected young liberals or middle aged conservatives and it is a throw back from the 60s! Everyone there is a senior citizen and it is the old hippies vs. the war vets. I LOVE the freedom we have in this country, but aren't we supposedly moving toward an undivided nation? I know it will never happen, and this kind of thing is a living example. It was a great to see people standing for something, no matter what, and actually voicing it publicly. Old people, I knew they were wise and all, but man are they cool....

p.s. so sad i couldn't get a pic of the old vets in their full getup...they were around the corner....

scrumptious.

My latest creation! S'mores cupcakes with mallow frosting.... pretty scrumptious...On another note, school is intense. It pretty much consumes all of my time. We are preparing our lessons for when we start teaching that have illustrations as well (prob. about 275), along with the 10 theory papers, and about 25 theory notes papers. Tons of work... It is all very worth it though. The theory behind Montessori's work is fascinating and completely brilliant.

RULE 6: NOTHING IS A MISTAKE. THERE’S NO WIN AND
NO FAIL. THERE’S ONLY MAKE.
