It's going to be a crazy semester!

If I don't write much in the next four months it is because this semester of classes (when combined with work) has me going non-stop all day until I am exhausted and hop into bed. I complained a lot about it the last couple days (to pretty much anyone who would listen) but you know, I am learning a lot and am getting pretty excited to teach, so I guess I can handle one semester of craziness. I will just have to push myself a little harder than normal. Jason's semester might be pretty tough too, but it's been manageable for him at least so far. We have had a crazy week, it's a miracle we survived it. Just lots of things to deal with. I'm very glad it's the weekend. I will have to do a decent amount of homework this weekend as well, but at least I know we will find some time for relaxation (we never fail to find the time for that). I wont say much today because I still have not fully accepted everything that is going on and I don't want to complain. I have gained a new appreciation for this saying, which is actually really amazing and makes me think about how great we have it! We have fun everyday together and that's all that matters. Anyways, here is the quote:
"I complained that I had no shoes until I saw a man that had no feet."

I'm sure most of you have heard of that and I have no idea who said it or if it's actually a true story, but regardless it makes a very strong point! And all things considering, things really are going well. We are still loving our apartment and we always manage to find time to talk and laugh together every night. Once I get used to being this busy it will probably be manageable and I am actually grateful for having a time where I have to push myself. I know the next few months might be a little tough (for more reasons than one) but I can feel that we are going to grow in ways that will be great for us.

On a completely unrelated topic, I am really getting to be good friends with all the girls in my cohort. I throw that term out there because in the education majors it is so common, but every time I do, everyone is like, what the heck is a cohort? So it basically refers to our last semester of classes here on campus before we start doing our student teaching. There are 17 of us that have all of our classes together and in the last part of the semester we start spending some time in the elementary schools, getting used to it. So we spend a lot of time together, and it's nice because I haven't really made a new friend since Romania, and sadly we all loose more and more touch every year. And before that I hadn't really made new friend since I don't know high school, middle school. I'm talking about good friends that you would hang out with outside of school. Also so many of us are newly married which is really cool because we are all in the same boat and can relate well to each other. Okay I think that's all that is new with us right now. Jason hasn't gotten into his classes enough yet to really get a feel for it, but as soon as he does I will definitely let you all know :)
