It's Been Far Too Long!

Well I am finally back! It's been well over two months (if not longer) since I have blogged and I am ready to start again!

Let me take a minute to fill you in on my life. First of all I have no social life, but I am perfectly fine with it! I am student teaching at Monroe school in Cedar Rapids. It is an all kindergarten room with one alternative (or pre) kindergarten room and two mobile preschool units. I am really enjoying it, but it has come with many challenges! I have a wonderful supervisor and cooperating teacher. I am currently teaching full time and only have two weeks left after this week.

After school, I come home and take a short break to eat before I am off to my next activity, dance. I have been teaching dance three nights a week and loving it! Along with dance I am teaching Zumba fitness classes, which I have found to be the most amazing experience! First, who wouldn't love to get paid to have fun while working out?! I also have a wonderful group of ladies who take my class and to top it off I have lost EIGHT pounds. I will truly miss dance and Zumba while I am in New Zealand!

And finally to inform you of my upcoming trip! Today is Monday which means there is officially three weeks until I leave the States and head across the pond, and I could not be more excited and overwhelmed! It is crazy to think of all the things I will need to pack and think of all the things we will be doing! I am so excited to be there with my three awesome need roommates. I will be sure to get on blog a little more often and fill everyone in on the crazy things I will be doing!
