WHAT A Week!

Gooood Morning and a very Happy Friday to everyone:)

 Well I definitely picked the right year to come to UGA. The snowstorm or our own personal snowmageddon has been nuts. However, I did want to get the true Georgia experience...and I am getting that for sure:) Many local public school have been closed ALL WEEK! I can't even imagine the stress that caused for some parents and some children.....being forced to be together and still for prolonged periods of time....GASP! ( I am kidding, but you would be surprised how lots of families avoid real contact with each other through overbooked schedules and lack of meaningful communication).

I am back to the grind...and I will admit it tired me out yesterday. You have to get readjusted to being back in school. Here are some highlights of this upcoming Spring semester 2011.

Cohort and Professors Retreat ( I am on the planning committee for this!)
Starting Practicum once a week at Decatur High School.
Taking 4 classes....Expressive Arts in Counseling, Groups, Careers, and Practicum.
Exercise classes twice a week at the UGA gym.
Maybe presenting a professional poster at a Diversity conference.
Helping host a graduation party.
Having my 26th birthday ( low key but cute).
Working with the student athletes.
To sum it up nicely....teaching, reading, cooking, and learning:)

Big News

I could start out with the Big News that I now have a blog! I must say I am excited to have this creative outlet to share with whoever might want to read it.


The real Big News is actually the reason why I am starting my blog Teach.Read.Cook.Learn. I am very excited and proud to announce that yours truly will be an official Masters student at the University of Georgia starting this summer!!!!!! (insert applause and cheers)

It has been a long journey, actually starting in 2006. However, God opened a door for me at UGA again and I just feel this great excitement about the whole idea. Picture it if you will....
ME:
living in graduate housing
Strolling around UGA's gorgeous campus
buried deep under a pile of books
Meeting a brand new set of friends and associates
getting used to a new city and state
Having the time of my life!

Keep checking back in. I hope to use this blog as a way to keep in touch with amazing friends and also share my unique perspective on life especially the themes of teaching, reading, cooking, and learning. Also, feel free to leave comments:) If you know me at all you know I am BIG on communication!

To Be Continued!
