Every Thursday night I have been going to this Bible study a guy from my church leads at a coffee shop here in town. It is aimed toward people who are 18-29 years old or so, and most of the people are usually about college-age or just finished with college fairly recently. Usually there are 10 or so people, with maybe 4-5 girls including me. Well...that wasn't the case tonight. 10 people did in fact show up, but 9 of them were guys, and 1 of them (me) was a girl. It was still a good study, it just bordered on the slightly awkward side as the guys were all talking with each other about guy stuff. That's not to say they didn't talk with me also, just you know, I was feelin' a bit like a girl in a guy's Bible study :)
Today, I am thankful:
1. That I did well on my math midterm that I took last week--I got a 106% on it! All that studying paid off :)
2. For snow covered mountains. I was driving home from school yesterday and noticed that they looked incredibly beautiful and majestic.
3. There are only 2 more weeks of winter term!! (2 days of Spanish and 2 days of art history left!)
4. I had a good time in practicum today (as always). I helped 3 groups of kids with practing their spelling words, like I do every week. It challenging...especially because the kids I work with are the kids who are at the lowest reading level. Most of them are reading well below grade level, actually. It's hard to get them to focus, and when they do, it's hard to watch as they can't read simple words like "her" or "river" when they are in first grade. But at the same time, I enjoy helping them and find it really rewarding when they start to catch on.
5. I can sleep in tomorrow! Well, compared to this morning, anyway. I can get up tomorrow morning the same time I was already at the elementary school this morning.
