Procrastinations and Ventings of a Moody Woman

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.

I graduated on Saturday! My mom, brother, grandmom, and grandad all came out to the windy city to see it. The whole family--at least that's what we told people. I was unpleasantly surprised, however, to find no diploma in my diploma holder. Apparently, I don't officially graduate until they make sure I didn't fail anything this semester. So, we'll see.
This week I am back at Grace Community Christian School subbing for the class I student taught in. I am doing just about as much work as I was during student teaching, and I'm actually getting paid now. Albeit I'm still doing the work of a teacher and getting paid even less than they do, but I suppose this is still better than before.
I still do not have a job for next year. I am waiting to hear from the public school. I may teach either fifth grade or eighth grade LA next year, but I guess I might not find out until June.
