August:
- I started student teaching/last semester of my undergrad degree. My first placement has been at a middle school in the mornings, and the high school in the afternoons. It's been an experience,... more to come later...
- My afternoons and evenings have been spent leading and working with the high school marching band. This marching band has been awarded 4A State Champions in Kentucky for the past nine years!
- Michael and I decided to get a puppy around the middle of August. We named her Arya after one of our favorite characters from Game of Thrones.

September:
- We didn't realize how difficult it would be to train a puppy. It's been frustrating, but I wouldn't change it at all; Arya has been a joy to have and raise.
- Student teaching is much busier then I thought it would be. It's much different then any other semester has ever been, I don't even feel like a college student anymore. Living two hours away from campus and teaching all day without any other course work has been eye-opening in many ways.
- We moved up to the smart phone world! I've never owned a smart phone until this month,...
- I'm one week away from fall break and my second student teaching placement, which will be at an elementary school. I've never experienced teaching elementary students, so I am very eager to see what it will be like.
- Graduate school has made it's way onto my to-do list; I've been brainstorming possible degrees and paths I could take. Although this is an adventure I do not want to begin for at least another year.
- I received my first gift from a student! It will be going on the refrigerator soon.
Now that the first half of student teaching is over and commencement is less than three months away, blogging will move back towards the top of my priority list!
