Recycling

Recycling is a big deal! Quite honestly I believe that if more of us would recycle it would help to keep our planet healthier longer. There are three parts to recycling, it's not just putting cardboard and plastic into the bin. The other two parts are reduce and reuse. If we were to reuse the same glass all day instead of putting it in the sink and getting out a new one each time we wanted a drink we would run the dishwasher less and save water. If we simply turned off the lights when we weren't home or didn't need them and opened the window we could save energy and money(Heaven knows we all need more money)! I hope this was inspirational to someone :) Please click on this link to help me possibly win a scholarship! http://www.castleink.com

HOOORAY!!

For those of you who don't know I applied to Utah State University's teaching program, the school of teacher education and leadership, on March 1st. Today my mom called me with the news that I have been accepted into the program for next fall!!! Now I can finally plan my life a little better!! I just wanted to share this oh so exciting news with you all!

I Passed!

Yesterday I got the results of my Praxis II Exam that I took on January 15th. I PASSED with 173 which is 23 points above the 150 that you need to pass! I don't know what it is out of, but hey does it matter? This means I only have to get my background check and finger prints done before I apply to the Elementary Education program at USU and then after I apply I have to have a group interview to finish it all up! One less thing to worry about :) I'm so happy to have passed. In congratulations my roommate Melissa and neighbor Alex got doughnuts! There was a great time had by all after class! Have a great day and I love you all!

It's Been A While

Hey all I know it's been a while so here's an update on my life... I am still at Utah State University and this will be the end of my second year. I am hoping to apply to the Elementary Education Teaching Program this March! That's mostly what's been happening... Not too exciting I know.
