As I write this, I am so torn. Tomorrow is my last day of student teaching. My last day of school ever. I do not have any finals, so tomorrow is it. The feeling that I have is bittersweet. I am not real sure if I should be super excited or a little sad. I never thought that this day would come. I have had many setbacks while I've been in college, and I have come close to just quitting school altogether, but I stuck with it. Now that I don't have to do homework until midnight, or chapel everyday, or LCU friends to see everyday, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. That has become such a routine for me, it is going to be so different to not have anything to do!
I do have to say, I'm excited that tomorrow is the last day that I have to work my booty off without getting paid a dime! :)
The two classes that I've been a part of will always have a special place in my heart. These second graders that I have worked with have been AMAZING!!! Last Friday, we put on a living museum. The kids chose a person from history to research. They did all the research through books, encyclopedias, and internet searching (with A LOT of teacher filtering!!) After they took their notes, they compiled a biography of their person and made a poster that represented their person and their life. The living museum was a HUGE hit! Each student dressed up as their famous person and presented their biographies to our visitors. We invited all their families and the whole school. It was a come and go thing, and they ROCKED IT! Here are a few pictures of my favorite "people in history"...
Abraham Lincoln
Babe Ruth
Albert Einstein
I am so excited about these next steps in my journey. I know that everything I've done is to God's glory. Ultimately, He is the one who got me through it all. Also, thanks to my family and friends who have been there for me the past 21 years and have supported me through everything. I could not have done it without you either.
"I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds."-Psalm 9:1

Court!! I totally understand the bittersweet feeling...I wrote a post similar to yours when I graduated in December! I have to keep telling myself "don't be sad it's over, smile because it happened" AND let me tell you when finals roll around and you can sit back and hangout and not worry about all that YOU WON'T miss college anymore! I love you! SO PROUD OF YOU...college ain't no easy task! :)
