Daniel and I both survived our finals, mine were not as gruesome as his were. He has had a difficult time with his trebuchet group through CEU and their willingness to work and pull their own weight. We are both very happy that he is finished with that project and his pre-engineering class. He has worked hard over the semester and is hoping that his hard work has paid off in good grades. For now he is back to working fulltime for Nielsen's through the three week of break before spring semester starts. I hope that there will be time for him to have a little bit of a break and have some fun, but while the snow is covering all of the unfound sheds I'm not sure what he has in mind.
I gladly survived my Level III practicum. The classroom experience that I had in Mrs. Gagon's 5th grade class was wonderful and made all of the homework and stress that I had in the beginning of the semester worth it. I am hoping to receive high grades in all of my classes, but we shall see how hard my professors grade my practicum work. The day of finishing my practicum I signed up to be a substitute teacher in the Carbon School District, only desiring to sub at the elementary schools. Luckily I have been able to sub a few times in the class were I worked for my practicum, and will work there again Monday. I would never want to substitute for a profession, I would rather have my own class, than deal with the students who like to test the substitutes :) Good thing I am becoming a teacher!
Plans for the rest of the month include Nielsen's company part tonight. We will go have an enjoyable evening with Daniel's parents, Cody and Daniel's sister Maegan who Cody invited to go with him. Sunday there is the Christmas Music Program that our Stake puts on with a few other churches in the area, where I, my dad, and little brother Chantz will be singing and/or playing my flute. Then next Saturday is that day that I am very excited for!! Linda bought Daniel and I tickets as a thankyou for helping her at the studio so much. We get to go see "The Nutcracker" at the Capitol Theatre in SLC. Daniel isn't overly excited, but I told him we could go each at Sizzler as it now seems bearable to him. :) He owes me for my willingness to go hunting, shed hunting, and putting up with all of his sheds in the middle of our living room floor!Hope everyone is having a good holiday season! Be safe with the snow that is falling, and have a Merry Christmas!
