Procrastinations and Ventings of a Moody Woman

Name:
Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States

Currently I'm in my Junior year at Moody Bible Institute in downtown Chicago. I am finishing up my degree in Elementary Education. The program is pretty much the hardest elementary ed program you could imagine, but I love it a lot because it's the only place I know of that you can be a Bible and El Ed major at the same time. We work really hard to that end, but it is very cool to be some of the first people to learn an integrative philosophy of Christian education. I can't wait to start practicing all this; and the countdown is on, because in a little over a year I will be doing full time student teaching.

10 Summer Highlights--Even Though There Are None In My Hair This Year:
1.) Although Starbucks once again refused to bring back the Tazo Berry Frappuccino, they did introduce a surprisingly good new drink--The Pomegranite Juice Blend.
2.) Wet Jumpers-- I have never liked jumping houses, until my job at Kid's Club introduced me to a combination of the water slide and the jumping house (very fun)!
3.) The Squirt Bottle vs. The Ash-- Discovering that the awful canine inhabitant of this house had an Achilles heel was definately a highlight of this summer.
4.) The Day I Watched Lost for Six Hours--I know this is a repeat from the other list, but this is seriously the best show I've ever seen.
5.) Listening to Avalanche (the new Sufjan Steven's Album) over and over again in my car--well my mom's car (thanks Mom)
6.) Listening to the Curious George Soundtrack (Jack Johnson) over and over again at work
