I'm Just Keeping Up With Myself!

Someone once told me that and I love it. 

You don't have to be someone you're not. You don't have to be the best of the best. You just have to be YOU. 

I have a hard time with this because I always want to be the best. I have been like this all throughout my education. 

I guess it is good because it motivates me to work harder. But I need to stop comparing myself to people. I just have to be the best ME I can possibly be.

So....now I am going to try my hardest to stop comparing myself to others. 

I'm just keeping up with myself!

On a couple different notes.....

I'm enjoying my practicum class a lot. I love my second graders! I love learning how to be a better teacher. After tomorrow there will only be three weeks left. I can't believe it.

I currently have homework coming out of my ears and eyeballs. Don't ask me how it feels.

Jer and I decided that it would be absolutely wonderful if some good friends of ours would spontaneously come visit us. That would be grand.

I like sleeping with the window cracked open. Otherwise it is so hot in here! Luckily, Kenzee likes it too.

I went to the library tonight. I was actually productive (most of the time). 

I really like glitter art projects and shaving cream fights.

My sunglasses broke. This saddens my heart.

I am really thankful for my friends. You know who you are. Thank you. For always being there for me. I don't quite know what I would do without the support of my fabulous friends.

I made my friend a birthday present. Unfortunately she lives in Provo so I haven't had a chance to give it to her yet. Even though her birthday was a week and a half ago.

Three months from this day I will turn twenty-years-old.

One of my second graders asked me today if I have a boyfriend. Wanna know what I told them?

I am really looking forward to the holiday season. I am excited to go home and spend almost every waking hour with my incredible family.

Thank you for your time.
