So its offical... I started to fill out my Sub. teacher applications this morning. I'm not one to usually complain about things...but this is very sad for me. I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as i can remember ...with my own classroom..my own stuff...everything. Well kiddos, July is over... and sure you may say " There are still 3 weeks til school starts...you can still get hired!" And..sure...it could happen... but my chances are slim now. I hope that i eat my words and I have news of getting hired during August... but its not looking so well.

And again.. I know thst subbing isnt the worst thing i can do... nut frankly... i dont want to. I want to teach NOW. But i will keep smiling and say " Yeah..subbing will get my face out there... I can see where i really wanna teach...yada yada yada" But my heart is sad.

Oh well.... it could be worse.....

Does anyone still read this?

Two stupid things happened to me today... so I had to write about them

Stupid thing #1: mmmm I'm Hungry....ok ... I'll make one of those party pizzas that my brother jason has stocked our freezer with... Sounds great, right? Sure.... Okay.. so please keep in mind that i'm new to this house, and i'm still learning little things about it. Well I set the temp.... put the pizza on and set the time...pour myself a glass of sprite and enjoy some TV. DING DING DING... pizzas ready!! yay-- cause i'm hungry... i open the oven... frozen pizza still on the rack. I forgot to turn the OTHER knob on the over from "Off" to "bake" (Broil being the other option). Okay... so long story short, 12 mins later i was full.....

Stupid thing #2: So i'm watching TV upstairs in the dark in my room later. On a commercial break i go to wash my face. SIDE NOTE: I have a night light right by my sink. okay, so i turn on the water, then i flip the light switch on...then ZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM some flying bug flies past my face. I look up at the light and i see a "dirt-dobber-thingy" hovering by my light. I somehow turn off the water and slam my door close. Now picture this please......i inch the door open and sneak a peek in to make sure i'm not crazy.... and my door has a creak to really make this picture perfect.... Oh yeah....he's still there...little bastard! SO i do what every girl does in this situation.... i call my dad. All was fine... me thinking it was a dirt dopper, and all... then my dad says " Well, jen... it could be a black wasp..." Thanks pops! So then ui take my little blanket and make sure the bottom of the door is nice and sealed... i dont want him in my room! Then i wait for my brother to get home..........minutes later he gets here. now you are about to hear about the family trademarks on cool-ness. He graps a graduation card off of my desk and says...ok...open the door. He shuts himself in my room and uses about 6 bobby pins to "stab" at the bug he cant reach. Then he Jumps about 5 times to know him down. the bug falls into my sink... then he sets him on fire with my lighter for my candels.Real mature...i know, but hey... now i can sleep and be happy.

Ok... so thats really all there is to say. you all can see how exciting my life is... I miss you all and I know i entertained becca at work.. so my job here is done. MISS ME!

Since I Last Wrote....

Since i last wrote i ... A) Graduated B) Moved in with my brotehr abck in San Antonio C) started work at my summer job at brooks city base. WHOAH. SO yeah.. i finally have internet access on a regular basis again. it was only a week... but it felt like forver.My graduation aprty was a lot of fun. Check out some of the pics. I didnt take many. the moon bounce was  a big hit, and i have not had that much fun in a long time. LS drove out from "Liberty" ( if it is even a real city ), so that was great. All of my family was tehre and i saw all of my friends that night. It was nice. It was also my birthday weekend-- so ia m onlder now... but never as old as Robby.  I wish i had something interesting to write about... but i dont. I want a job... i was a principal to call...interview... and fall in love with me... so please keep praying for that one. soo yeah.. thats all..... LATER

PS--- AIM is just not the same when becca is in London... lucky girl

One of the best weekends EVER! Why you ask? ...let me tell you

For starters..i passed my certification exam. This pretty much means i neer have to take a huge test ever again. Yay. THEN... on friday night my brother Jason asked his girlfriend Denise to marry him, and she said Yes. Wooo hooo!. Next, Jason gave me a keyto our condo and i start moving this weekend. After that... it was reid's sisters wedding and it was SO nice. Yikes! Finally, this is my last week of student teaching. :::doing my happy dance:::

And that... my loyal readers....is why this was on of the best weekends of my life.

My Years in College:

Freshman year:

Wow…this was FOREVER ago wasn’t it? Well this is the year that my best friend Christina and I met two awesome girls named Jen Litt and (Christina) Ferrari. Who new they would become some of my very best friends and my roommates for the next 4 years of my life! Lucky Girls. I look back now and see how dumb some of my choices were.. YIKES!

Sophomore year:

I was borderline depressed this year. Life threw me a curve ball emotionally, and my emotions were everywhere. Looking back now, I really grew a lot this year. My strength improved about 200%, and I am the Jenny we all know and love because of this year. I learned the role that God needs to have in my life, and my Faith grew. I learned to never settle for Ramen when you could have Olive garden some day if you just sit back…wait…and be patient.

Junior year:

We drank a lot this year, didn’t we? The summer before this, Sam and Jason got an apartment in Oklahoma….and every weekend was spent there. This is also when 1031 parties started and we all know how great those were! My best good friend Katie moved in this year, and Becca and I only got closer. This was an awesome year in college. I really started to get happy with who I was and what my life has become this year.

Senior year:

This year FLEW by! I learned that teaching is what I am meant to do, and what I love to do. My friends really stood out, and when I needed some of them they really were there for me. Student teaching taught me that I can become a “grandma” real fast….and that college was the time for me to be young and dumb. The parties continued, and the fun didn’t stop this year. I started to date Reid, and each day has been better since we’ve been together. I love me life!

In a way, I learned that college is a bit unfair. You are taught to make new friends—only to move back to your home town (many of us anyway) and to be separated from the people you have been growing close to for these years here.  As much as I want to love to SA and be independent… the other part of me wants to stay in this apartment and live with these great ladies for the rest of my life.

Okay, this is PLEANTY long. I am sure I left some things out. Please leave comments. I love you all… and no…..this is not this last of Jenny

As always… MISS ME!
