Well, Today is Sunday and I was really looking forward to just doing homework and staying in my PJ's all day, after going to church. But alas, that is not to be. I'm sitting on my couch, still in my church clothes finally getting to some of the homework that I should have done earlier in the week. I told myself that it was o.k. not to do it with the PRAXIS coming up, but now I already have late assignments, and am trying to play catch up before I go to work.
For those of you that have taken the PRAXIS you know what I am talking about. Yesterday was a very long day to sit in a classroom and take tests. Starting at 7 and not getting over till 2:30. I am not a test taker. I can know the material front and back but put it in test form and I go blank. I always need more time, and I seem to always seem to think of random things that don't have any relevance to what is in front of me. Perfect example: PRAXIS test #1 talking about English, verbs, nouns, and what not and all the sudden Lady Gaga is in my head.... Gross.
Anyways...
I have never done a Blog before and I am looking forward to it. My Mom is currently overseas working, and my younger sister and brother are there with her. Hopefully with this they will be able to be "a part" of my life. I'll have to double check on that with Holly.
Well good luck to all of you, and thanks for reading.

Hey, I am so glad for you that you're done with Praxis! I know it was a long day - even one test took forever, with all the extra procedures. I so relate to "going blank" when the information is put into test form. I felt pretty confident about K-6 knowledge going in, and then I see these basic facts and formulas and freak out! Nothing left in my brain. Ugh. I think we made it, though... fingers crossed... I so don't want to put my students through the ridiculousness of standardized tests!
