Things to Look Forward to....

With all the dullness in my life outside of working at the Gap & subbing.... I do have some events to look forward to.

October 8 - Mom, Dad, Kyle, and I are going to see John's Berkeley Stags play in the homecoming game against Battery Creek.

November 15 - Me, Erin, Mom & Dad are going to see Lady Antebellum at the James Brown Arena :)

Well its not that many events as I was hoping to blog about but I felt that I needed to blog. Also, keep your fingers crossed for me and say an extra little prayer for me tomorrow as I have something going on that may head me in the direction of being more busy.... maybe a job?

Commencement

commencement [n]: the ceremony of conferring degrees or granting diplomas at the end of the academic year

The day I have been waiting for finally came after 2 years of waiting and working hard to earn my Masters in Curriculum & Instruction with Educational Technology.

I have gained so much knowledge during my additional two years at Winthrop, but it was not just the knowledge but also my growth as a professional educator.

Graduation day was Thursday, May 6, 2010, and flew by just like these past two years have. John came to support me as well as my family.

In addition, this has been a busy week with graduation, visiting with family, and traveling home for John's graduation from Augusta State University. John attended Augusta State University the past year and a half to obtain his Masters of Arts in Teaching with a concentration in History. His commencement exercises were on Saturday at the James Brown Arena.

Now, we are both done with our Masters Degrees and eagerly searching, awaiting, and praying hard for God to help us finally get to put to practice what we have learned via having teaching jobs.

With 3 weeks left at Winthrop, it is kind of bittersweet. I will definitely miss my memories I have made as well as the memories Winthrop have left for me.
