Daddy found it very amusing that I said that I planned on sleeping my face off when I was on break. I was not exaggerating. The first day home I slept until 2:30pm. I was not kidding around. This semester, thank God, has finally come to a close. I have never worked so hard in my life. Things have slowly started to pay off though.
Everyone is home for the holidays. I think this made Mommy and Daddy very happy. We had a family portrait taken for the church this weekend. Michael and Jon made some really werid faces. I don't think that the Lifetouch lady (or Dad) found it very amusing. We were the only family laughing hysterically, though. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Megan and I with Fievel and Secret. Secret likes to be the center of attention, and when she realized that Fievel was there....she freaked ou a little bit.
The Orozcos together in front of our real Christmas tree. We all love each other so much. I cannot express how much I love being home. I laugh harder with my family than I do anywhere else. <3
I organized a bar crawl for all our friends in the Math Block at IU. It was great. I made the t-shirts, and everyone seemed to like them. It was an amazing night. I had so much fun with everyone. Bloomington will never have another block like us! We decided that we are the most fun! =) Because we are. The back of the shirts have a Pi symbol on them with all of our names inside of it. We never get tired of math jokes. I am going to miss these people so much! I've spent the last three years getting to know everyone. I've spent more time with these amazing people this year than I did at my own apartment.
Danielle came and visited during the week of the Purdue v. IU game. Heath also came down. Unfortunately, IU lost to Purdue. Bad. Oye. Maybe next year.
Me, Katrina, and Jenna at the Call to Teach Award ceremony. We recieved these very nice framed certificates in commoration for apply to graduate as part of the Wilkie Education School Program. We were accepted! The ceremony itself was not very fun. I think we all fell asleep.
The family came down to come the ceremony! I always love seeing them.
Swanson, Sheldon, Laura, Me, and Heath at the Upstairs Pub in Bloomington. Always a blast to go out in Bloomington.
We had to go to a Math/Teacher Conference in Indianapolis. Sound boring? Because it was. Didn't learn too much. We went to the minimum of two sessions, then we walked around Indy for the day, ate at Hooters, watched football, went to another bar to finish the Bears game. THAT part was fun!
Katrina, Me, Jenna, and Amy at the ICTM conference downtown Indy with our Pearson bags. They were free with our $36 fee....nice.Basically, that is what is new with me. I hope to hear updates from everyone soon. I think that I will be able to post more next semester when I'm student teaching, but no promises. I start on Jan. 4th. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Miss Orozco. Weird. I can't wait to finally get to it. I am just glad to never have to take another college math class again. That got old really quick. 42 credits is just way too much Math. I am bunt out, but now I feel like I know all there is to know about Math.
Today Meg and I are spending the day together, baking and such. Swanson graduated on Saturday so I am going to go celebrate with him on Wednesday in Broadripple. How exciting. He starts his Business Masters Program in January at IU.
Zach is now certified in scuba and is excited to narrow his field in grad school. He loves his bio anthro degree! What he did in Wyoming is too boring for him though. He wants something more adventurous, like underwater anthopology. He is looking into apply for a grad program.
Hmm..I am not sure there is much more news. I miss Jenna and Katrina. I am too used to seeing them everyday. Jenna is home in New Jersey and Katrina in Illinois. I hope that we can see them every now and then next semester. I think that we are all just ready to be done
Love you!! I'll post again by New Years at the latest
