Stress is all I'm feeling

So life right now is....stressful. I honestly have no idea how I will even make it to December let alone make it through this next month. I seriously have four days out of October that I have empty but I know that more than likely they will be filled with studying for a test, preparing my lesson plans, or maybe I will be in my bed trying to catch up on sleep (more than likely not going to happen). I am getting even more stressed out just thinking about what next month is going to be like. My roommate Haley and I have volunteered to plan and run a Halloween party for Leap Frog during this month, I have my five day lesson plan due, I have to go read at the Boys and Girls Club, I have 3 mid-terms next week oh and Rush is this month....and this is not all I have other assignments due as well plus going to class and school every day. So heads up this may be my last blog until November. The only light at the end of the tunnel is after this month I really won't have anything to do for two months which I think will be just enough time for me to recuperate. So going along with what I was saying about planning a Halloween party does anyone have any ideas? If so please let me know because I honestly have zero time to be creative.
OH I had another article come out this week. It was about people who talk to much in class and get on every ones nerves. I have had many problems with this in my college classes and thought this would be an article a lot of people could relate to.
Well I have to stop writing now and start doing homework but I will try to post again soon. Thanks Lauren for being my only follower you are the best roommate!!!

Just starting out..

Hi guys...Well I just wanted to introduce myself a little on my first blog. I love to travel and live life to the fullest. Ever since I was a little girl I have always been very friendly. My goal each day is to make someone smile rather by smiling at them or making a complete fool of myself. I know that my boyfriend Josh and my roomates could tell some great stories about me being a goof ball.

I will be graduating in May 2011 with a degree in Elementary Education and I cannot tell you how pumped I am to be a full time teacher. I was originally planning on majoring in Marketing and doing advertising but God had other plans. Have you ever heard of the saying "We make plans and God laughs" well thats what happened to me. I went to China after my freshmen year and while there he started to show what he actually was planning for me...teaching. I was completely confused by this but I followed his will and I could not be more happy.

I believe that God has blessed me with wonderful opportunities to go all over the world and share his love with others. I thought I would share some photos of my tirps with yall. To tell you the truth these photos will never completely capture the beauty of my journeys so I encourage you to go!!!

This is me on a faluka on the Nile.
This is my boyfriend Josh and me in Alexandria, Egypt.
This is an old church in China. Most beautiful sunset I have ever seen in my life.
Me and my TOMS at the Pyramids!!! I love TOMS
Me and the Sphinx had a little summer fling...
The Great Wall of China. This  was my first World Wonder of the World.
Well these are just some of my photos and don't worry there are many many more to come. I am so excited about this blog and I hope that yall all enjoy it too!!! Have a wonderful day!
