End of the Semester

You can definitely tell that the end is near. This week has been really stressful for me. I printed off more than 500 pages this week! I did some peer teaching on the topic of the water cycle, I had to print out my lesson plans for Biology (3 lesson plans equaling 21 pages. I had to make copies for 22 people...you do the math), I had a radio drama and puppet show in Child Drama (which was lots of fun!), I turned in my 12 Journal Articles as well as my reflection paper for my Special Education Class, I had an Excel Project due this week, and I also had my lesson plan due in my Creative Learning Environment class. I have one big project due next week, and another big one due for exams in two weeks. Not to mention the exams themselves. Do you see what the end of the semester is like?!? It's crazy!

The highlight of my week has been a couple of things. One is that my Biblical Drama I performed for the B.C.M. (Baptist Collegiate Ministry) went really well. I took the Christmas Story from the point of view of one of the shepherds. It was really neat because I didn't know that in the story in Luke, the Shepherds actually went and saw Jesus. Then after they saw Jesus, they went telling everyone about it! So I started off my drama with, "I have some great news to tell you!" It was a lot of fun to do. I was nervous almost all day. It took a lot of prayer and me reciting the part several times before I performed it.

The other big news is that I will not be on Student Leadership Team next year for the BCM. I was just feeling burned out and with commuting, school, my Lifegroup, etc., I couldn't do it. Even if I pushed myself to do it, I couldn't give it 100% and I think the ministry would be effected by it. The cool part is that I was able to be one of the people who interviewed candidates to serve on S.L.T next semester! It was very exciting. We're meeting on Monday to discuss the interviews.

My 7th Grade Boys Lifegroup is going to end on December 12th. What I'm thinking of doing is teaching the final lesson this next week and then watching a video for the 12th. Probably the Charlie Brown Christmas if I can get a DVD copy. This past week instead of teaching straight from the book, we watched two clips from the Chronicles of Narnia and discussed the symbolism in relation to the crucifixion as well as the resurrection. I thought it went pretty well. If nothing else, I thought it was fun. By the way, Prince Caspian comes to theaters on May 16th of next year. Get excited!

I best be going. I just wanted to give you all a quick update. I hope you are having a great week and I will try to update my blog more often!
