Up-date!

So, I have come to conclude that stairs, slush, and sore legs do not make a good combination. They never will! Stairs in general with sore legs is horrible. It's like you see the stairs and your legs start hurting even more, even the thought of stairs and my sore legs start to groan. Anyways, you are probably wondering why I have sore legs, well, I have started running again. I've gone running for the past few days. Two miles everyday and all in a half an hour. That's a lot when you are me, and you haven't done anything that really constitutes as exercise in a long time (like months and months). I walk a ton but other than that I don't do much. Anyhow, my legs have never been this sore, besides when I started track in junior high. (That was like six years ago!) Haha. Oh, well. I'll get use to it. Hopeful it's before I fall on the sluch/ice. I've slipped but I've been able to catch myself every time.
So, classes have been great thus far. I don't particularly care for my Math 108 online class, then again I've never cared for any online class. But it's my ED 200 that I'm in love with. Like seriously, I have never ever enjoyed a class like I have this one. I love doing the homework (bizarre right?), and I don't mind doing the work at all. I find everything that we talk about fascinating and enjoyable. I'm sitting thinking, "What is going on?! I love this but this has never happened. This is so strange!" In fact, it was funny today we had to turn in a paper. The topic was on master teachers and Christ as a master teacher. Well, the paper was suppose to be a minimum of three pages doubled space and our professor encouraged us to write a little bit more than that, well . . . my paper ended up being three pages single spaced which is about six pages double spaced, and I could have kept going and expanded on a lot more things. I wanted to too, but I knew I needed to restrain myself from doing so. I just found it so interesting that I've gained this strong desire for teaching and an enthusiasm for it all from one class. I hope and pray that I will continue to have this attitude as I go through more classes, my practicums, student teaching, and actually teaching.
I'm so happy I switched majors, and I'm immensely grateful to my sisters, particularly Rachel. She knew that I would end up doing elementary education and encouraged me to do it. Sara and her both assured me that I could do it and that it was the best idea for me. I am happy I listened to them. I guess I'm following in my Grandma's and mom's steps. :) It's funny that someone can know what's best for you before you know it yourself. In fact I think my parents also knew that I was going to end up switching. I think my whole family knew before I even knew, because they weren't surprised at all. :)
