Lunar Eclipse!

Finally after more than 300 years we got to see it!!


It was really fun to wake up in the middle of the night and watch the sky for the eclipse. We set our alarm to drowsily walk outside and see the event. The stinky thing is how cloudy it was. We tried to take some pictures and got one good one, then the moon was completely covered, not by the shadow but by all the clouds. We decided that we would catch a couple more z's and then look once again. (This was really hard for me because I really wanted to sleep) Sad news we didn't get to see much it was all cloud cover. I knew this before had though, I looked up on Google news and they said the lunar eclipse would be eclipsed by the clouds.

Oh well, I have had a wondrous start to my holiday break! First I passed my generalist test!!!! Yay Yay Yay! I can't believe that I passed. This is due to me second guessing myself in everything, everyone told me I would pass, but I sat there and worried that they were all wrong. In the long run I could have just believed them because I got an awesome grade!

Second I got straight A's, this means that I get to graduated summa cum laude! It's because UTSA doesn't factor in your last classes in to the GPA! Mine is a 3.93 so I get it! well so many things are going on that I cannot believe! I now have to create my portfolio, beef up my resume, get some good letters of recommendation, and work on my interview skills. UTSA had all of their Education students buy a membership to a program called Live Text, at first I didn't like it. 1. It was 99 dollars, 2. we already have a similar program(I thought) called blackboard, and 3. It was intimidating! Now I really do like it because it has this option for an online portfolio. This is really neat because you can create all of these projects and pictures, then compile them to show to your prospective employer. I think I'm gonna start tinkering around with it and get it going.

Now that all of my school stresses are over I have to start loving my body again! I have been really bad on what I've been eating and avoiding exercise. This isn't a very good thing because it is a slippery slope that ends in being overweight and unhappy. So I have decided to re-dedicate myself to fitness. I am writing up my meal plans and making things a little easier on myself.

It may be crazy to start a healthy living plan during Christmas, but I will keep on track. I will have my Christmas in moderation so I don't start down a slippery slope! Ok till next time.
