Overwhelmed

Today my professor told me that this will be THE hardest semester at Grand Valley. I challenged him and assured him that my student teaching semester would definitely prove to be more difficult. He assured me that this semester will, without a doubt, be THE most difficult of my undergraduate career. Hearing him say this put me at ease oddly enough. For me, it was great to hear that my feelings of being overwhelmed were justified and not just because I wasn't equipped to handle all that this semester has to throw at me. 17 credit hours, 20 hours of Teacher Assisting, & 6-7 hours of commuting/wk.

I'm so glad that I have friends and family that will listen to me rant about my stressful days (maybe while pulling their hair out and wishing I would stop). These next 4 months I'm sure to be tested in more ways than one. That being said, I know that with the support systems I have, the prayers and the love Jesus has for me I will make it through this experience. I'm excited to learn, to blog about all I learn, and to grow through my experiences.

sigh. Sometimes it feels good just to let out a good sigh. Everyone do it: SIIIIIIGGGGHHH. Life happens.

You're exactly where you're supposed to be.
