  • CSETS

    So I have been totally stressed out lately for a lot of things. One in particular is passing the CSETS. Because in order to keep my job i have to pass the first two subsets of the Math CSET.

    People have been saying all kinds of scary things like : "The Math CSET is the HARDEST of all the single subject CSETS" or "I heard they gave the tests to College Math Professors and even they can't pass that darn thing." So obviously when I went in to take it for the first time I was terrified. So i prayed about it, Tad told me I would do fine. So I went in thinking - Since I haven't studied this will be my base point. I will try my best, and not get discouraged and just get a feel for what the test is like.
    I didn't even get a chance to study because I signed up late because of all my job stuff going on.

    Well i got my unofficial scores back and I am very impressed.

    Examination: 110 CSET Mathematics Subtest I
    Status: Did Not Pass
    Your Scaled Score: 154
    Passing Score: 220

    Examination: 111 CSET Mathematics Subtest II
    Status: Did Not Pass
    Your Scaled Score: 191
    Passing Score: 220



    So I'm pretty encouraged, a bit of studying and i think i can do it!

  • I am alive.

    I promise.

    I am soo busy I can't even think straight.

    One day I will be on here again. Probably by Christmas time. And hopefully my second half won't be as hectic.

    There are sooo many things that nobody ever tells you. Like, every quarter you have to give a district wide proficiency test. Or that you need to update your grades online every week. Or that you are the one to make those "dittos" for sub days, or that you are the only one who has these kids grades, or that you have to come up with a consistent way to grade hw & tests and get it back in time for it to matter to the kid who has already moved on to crush number 17. Or that... or that.... or that.... its just so consuming.

    But, all that to say it gets done. So, i am here today to say that I am alive. I am surviving. I have time because my credential class got out an hour early and i can breathe a little bit. But not for long because i am off to update my school website to reflect my homework.

  • lets talk about how tired I am. Yeah. pretty tired.


    Hope your wednesday is restful, I hope mine is!


    ------------------UPDATE!!!!--------------------------


    My Wednesday started out great!

    This is because - This morning at Starbucks, i walked in thinking of getting my "summer drink" (an iced carmel machiatto) and writting as large as pie "PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE IS BACK!" WHAT???? HURRAY!!!!!

    So - you can't drink an *iced* pumpkin latte - its just disrespectful to all things pumpkin/fall!!! So there i am duing yard duty, its already 90 degrees and i'm sipping a HOT Latte... and whipping sweat off my face! All for my beloved pumpkin latte!

    yum. thank you Jesus. He brought back my favorite drink JUST in time!

  • We want the funk

    I hate to post another youtube video, since i haven't been on here in forever. But its just soooo fitting!

    Its just that I have been so BUSY I haven't had a chance to breathe.

    So I start school tomorrow. And I think i am prepared. I have all my desks numbered, my butcher paper bulletin boards up... My first day activities planned. I think I'm ready. My First Day Of School. Tomorrow.

    So in honor of back to school... here is my favorite commercial. Hopefully some day very soon I will be with you.... someone who "understands"

  • Nerd Alert...

    So I'm here in Santa Cruz, enjoying the sea breeze! and the redwoods! I'm loving it.

    But

    i just can't get the one thought out of my head that.. oh yes... Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - comes out in little over 24 hours. And I will have on waiting for me at my doorstep... just WAITING for me to return. So i have to sit there in the car for four hours and twiddle my thumbs and receive nerd jokes from Tad.
