This week has been so busy! I kept meaning to write another entry on here but I just didn't have enough time. Monday was a pretty normal day, I had classes all day and didn't get home until about 6:30. On Tuesday morning, I interviewed a lady who is an ESL teacher at an elementary school year as part of a big project I have to do for my Spanish class. Once I got home from that, I wrote five essays (yep, FIVE): two for a scholarship application, two for my practicum midterm, and one for my Spanish class. By the time I finished with all that, I had to get to my afternoon/evening classes, and I didn't get home until about 8:30. Wednesday was normal (busy), and Thursday's activites involved doing my practicum in the mornining, a lot of studying for my art history midterm, taking my midterm, and then going to SOU to play in a band concert that night. The concert was pretty fun...we played a combined concert with the high school and middle school, so there were a lot of musicians, audience members, and chaos. I can hardly believe that just a few years ago (well...about five) I was the same age as one of those middle schoolers who are just starting out with band. Time flies!
Last night when I went to bed all the weather reports said that it was supposed to snow a bunch overnight, so I was hoping that classes would be cancelled and I'd be able to sleep in and relax a bit. It turns out that it did snow quite a bit (it looked like there were about 3-5" in some spots), but they only cancelled classes that started before 10 am, and since my class started right at 10 am, it wasn't cancelled. There was a pretty nasty car crash on the freeway too, so I got stuck for about 20 minutes and ended up being slightly late to class. The snow was beautiful though, I love how it covers everything with it's pure whiteness and makes everything look so majestic and clean. I only wish it had stuck around longer.
I got a haircut today also! I love my friend Maggie's hair, so I took her with me to my appointment and said that I wanted my hair to be cut like hers. So now I have long bangs and a bunch of layers! I just hope I can keep myself from constantly playing with my bangs, because I'm sorta OCD about having my hair in my face (meaning I can't stand it, which is why I haven't had bangs before...but I think they look good, so I'm going to try to leave them alone!)
Sunday is early registration for spring term classes already. I thought I had it all figured out, but now I'm second-guessing my decisions. I just don't know if I want to take Spanish anymore. I really don't like the class this term, and I know next term will be different because I'll have a different professor and everything, but I just don't know if I want to do it. I don't have to take it at all. It's getting me elective credits that I don't even need. I have been taking it because I like the language, and I was considering having it be my minor for a while. But now...I'm unsure. I don't think I have room in my schedule to take enough classes to fulfill the requirements for the minor because I am in the accelerated baccalaureate program. So really, it's just added stress. I have been taking it in part because I think it will be good for me to know Spanish if I am going to be a teacher around here, but I just don't know if this class will really help me with that. Plus, when I get my master's degree, I can get an ESOL endorsement regardless of whether I took any Spanish classes in college. I'd like to take a Spanish grammer class, but there isn't one that will fit into my schedule. Decisions, decisions. I think I may need to email my advisor tonight.
Anyway, tomorrow I am going to work from 8-4 for the first time. Truthfully, I don't like answering phones and such. I remember when I was an assistant in the office at my high school last year and I had to answer phones, I tried to get out of it by keeping busy with other stuff so someone else would get the phone...it's just never been something I particulary enjoy. However, that is pretty much going to be what I'm doing tomorrow when I begin my receptionist job. So it's providing me with an opportunity to stretch myself a bit! I'm just praying that I will get more comfortable with it as the day progesses. But even if I don't enjoy it, I'm thankful to have the job!
Well, I'd better wrap this thing up so I can make some emails regarding my Spanish class.

So, where's the receptionist job at?
Your schedule makes my brain tired.
The job is at Liberty Tax Service. It's a temporary job, because they only have need for a receptionist during tax season. But at least it's something!
