Trials...

I found out last night that I didn't get in to my program for the fall. I felt a little lost and very sad because I don't know what I am going to do now. Luckily I have my family and friends who support me and love me through everything. I know that this "trial" is something that I will learn and grow from. There is some reason why I didn't get in this time. I'm not sure what it is yet, but I know in the long run it will be worth it.
I renewed my temple recommend today, and since it is spring break I am hoping I can get in to the Logan temple since there aren't as many students here trying to get in. I think in a way this is Heavenly Father's way of saying "listen up miss independent.. you can't do everything on your own... don't forget about me!" I am looking forward to figuring out this trial because I know in the process I will grow closer to my Heavenly Father and my Savior.
Since I don't get to go on an extravagant vacation for spring break I have decided I am going to go get a pedicure and get a new spring outfit so that I feel like it is kinda spring here... even though it is snowing still.. bleh. Oh well!
Well everyone, don't forget to learn from your trials and be positive about them. They may make you sad, but don't forget that Heavenly Father is there. :)

Feeling Smart!

I just had to announce the fact that I got a 97 on my first math test! (It was take home, but ya know.. that's still like the best I have done on a math test in like 7 years!) That was exciting. So far all of my first tests have gone really well!

I have my interview Saturday for applying to the Eled program! I am looking forward to it!

I also felt quite successful at my job yesterday when I had like 5 of my first graders come up and show me that they either got a 100 % on their spelling tests or just missed one. I love it when they are successful :)

Today I felt like a horrible teacher. This girl was trying to get into my chair and I didn't realize she was close enough for it to make a difference, so I pulled my chair out of the way and she fell. Definitely not one of my bright and shining moments as Miss Ashley. I'm pretty sure she was not happy with me. These little first graders have a lot more attitude than you would think!

Well, I have to go do my homework now. I have put it off long enough!! :)
