First Week of My LAST Semester!!

My first week of my last semester is coming to a close. It has been quite busy. This semester I am a Supervisor over one of the Preschool Labs here on campus. For those of you who don't know what that includes, let me give you an idea...
  • Make sure child immunizations are up to date
  • Make sure all paper work has been filled out
  • Put children's files together for home visits (parking pass, magnet, snack schedule, sun screen consent...)
  • Schedule and go on home visits (with a big amount of help from my team)
  • Make child name tags, locker name tags, room labels...
  • Team Training
  • Making the check in/out list
  • Emergency Contact List
I think you've got the idea. It's a lot of work and a lot of time.  Our first topic for the semester is on Gardening. I am SUPER excited since this is the only semester I will have here at Preschool in the Spring! We planned out 3 weeks worth of lesson topics and I see them being REALLY awesome learning experiences! 
I REALLY love my teacher in my Lit, Lang, and Learning class. Sister Gordan really shows that she cares about us and our learning, especially learning by the Holy Ghost (one of the amazing perks to going to this school). She is super positive and makes you feel important. Her class requires a lot of work, but she is so awesome that I am really just willing to do anything she asks me. Another one of my classes is super boring and I don't care much for the teacher. I just want to fall asleep in his class. It doesn't help that his class is smack dab in the middle of the day! I just have a bitter taste in my mouth toward him because I had another class with him while I was pregnant and he was the least understanding when I went into labor early. I haven't really gotten into my SPED 310 class yet, so we are yet to see how I like that one. 
Another thing that came up this week. Since I switched my major from a Bachelor's to and Associates, I got an e mail saying that am ineligible to receive financial aid because I earned too many credits for and Associates Degree. So now I have to petition to get my financial aid since I am supposed to graduate this semester! Ugh! I think the most irritating thing about that is that they sent me the e mail AFTER school already started. Lame. But overall I feel like it's been a really good week, just really busy.
The last thing that is a huge stressor right now is finding a baby sitter in the mornings. Most baby sitters around here are available in the evenings, not during the day. Makes it tough to find someone to watch Paxton when Tyler has to work in the morning. 
Anyway! Paxton is now 10 months. He can get everywhere. He knows how to walk holding on to one of my hands (walking independently is next!) Paxton has 5 teeth now, 3 on top and 2 on bottom. He has got the hugest personality and always makes my day brighter. He is also a huge reason why I am such a good procrastinator! haha! But so far I have stayed on top of things, even a little ahead. It is my goal this semester to not procrastinate. I DON'T want more stress than I need at the end of the semester than I need. :)
Tyler is still working at Massage Envy as the Business Administrator. He likes it and has been learning a lot there. He is also still working on getting a business put together. 
So that's the latest on us! Sorry there aren't any pictures. Life has been busy! :)
