I’ll be honest, this semester was a rough start which is a big part of why we chose to wait... Then being on IVF meds and getting a head cold, I was struggling… I was tired from being sick and the meds and chasing a very active toddler… the idea of adding pregnancy and having a newborn and then doing the full time student teaching all felt so overwhelmed… Don’t get me wrong I’m super excited to get to try again, and of course the possibility of having another miracle baby! However, I am also relieved. I feel like I made the right choice, like waiting those 7 months will take a lot of the stress off my shoulders! Now I can focus on my school and time will surely fly by! Not to fast because I don’t want time to slip from me and Dalton either…
The semester is going on to week 6 I finally feel like I got this and I’ll be fine. Which is normally how I feel at the start. This semester I started sick and stressed so now I am finally getting that motivation I need to kick butt at school and get this semester over! I feel like I can do it and that I am finally getting close to the end! I was looking at my class list for next semester and was feeling a bit worried. I will have a very, very busy semester come spring even more than this semester has been. Then it hit me, even though it is going to be busy it is my last semester of having to take classes on campus. This is the last set of 5 classes (this has been my normal for the last 4 years) that I will have to take before I’m a teacher!
After that it’s student teaching, and then after that I plan to take the next semester to have baby and enjoy that stage for close to 6 months before having to teach… IT won’t be easy but I am so close to the finish line! I just need to take it one week at a time and kick butt!
If I can get enough extra days in then I will be done with my practicum class by November. That will drop me down to 3 classes and then give me extra days to sub so that I can have moneys for the holidays! I’m looking forward to getting done with school and I am so close now!
