Mid-Term

With my last semester almost hitting its midway mark, I am starting to get really antsy and excited about graduation. This week is the graduation fair where I will order my cap and gown! I also finish teaching at the junior high this week and begin observing. I'm surprised how much I will miss the students (or at least just some of them). I will also start teaching high school next Monday. I'm kinda nervous, but feel like "if I survived junior high, I can do anything!" The rest of the semester should be a healthy mix of downhill and uphill battles.

I feel confident in my teaching.
I still have to write my Teacher Work Sample (yikes!).
I get a Spring Break!
I need to make sure I don't get senioritis (or the flu).
My mom comes in March during my Spring Break.
I will no longer have "What if I changed my major?" conversations with Tim. (He's thrilled!)
I don't know what I'm doing with my life past April.

In order to get a jump start on graduation before I move up to Riverton during the week while I teach high school, I've designed, printed and made my own graduation announcements. With the flyers and emails from the Alumni House, I really didn't want their boring, plain announcements. I also didn't like the wording. ("A candidate for the degree"? I don't think so! I'm getting it!!!!) And, they were super-expensive for only a mere few. So, I changed things up and made my own. Tim was my design assistant and helped my choose the right font combination. Yeah, my name alone uses three different fonts. Here are some sneak peeks of the end product!

The materials.

The tassels.

The accents.
