Summer begins

It's not really summer yet but winter semester is finished for both of us and it is a time of transition. I just finished my last semester of classes before starting student teaching next week while Max finished the first half of his paramedic program and will now spend most of his life doing clinical stuff in fire stations and hospitals. So, needless to say we aren't having much of a summer. We have to be grown ups this year. (Luckily I'm becoming a teacher so I get to have fun summers the rest of my life.)

So, I finished my last 3 finals yesterday, my last final was for social studies and my teacher changed it from a 200 question exam in the testing center to going to the humanitarian center and tying quilts to send to Japan. What a relief!

I will be student teaching at a year-round school this summer. I will be teaching a 1st grade class. I was hoping to get an older grade but I know I will love these kids just the same. I start on Monday. I qualified for Summer student teaching because we plan on moving back to Oregon in August!

Max started his clinicals on monday so I'm pretty much wont be seeing him much this summer. He is scheduled to "work" (I say this loosely because he's paying the school to do all this laborious work) over a hundred hours a week on most weeks. On friday morning he goes to the fire station and doesn't get to come home until monday morning right when I leave to teach. Which means he will be gone all weekend including Easter. I haven't decided what I will do with myslef yet. I will miss him so much. He did however get the next weekend off for our 2-year anniversary!!! I am very excited for the thorough training and education he is recieving and he will be very job ready when he's done at the end of July.

So that's our busy life in a nutshell. I'm excited to almost be graduated!
