This is long overdue. My blog is not active. I'm not on social media to promote myself. Maybe it doesn't matter. It's a rainy evening after the first day of (virtual) school, and I'm listening to Piano in the Background. Grad school homework is calling my name, but my blog (really, God) has been calling … Continue reading Then
Long time, no see (read: post). I just re-read my last post, and I'd like to say so much has changed, and it definitely has, but at times I still feel like I'm in that somewhere between place even though it's now year two of teaching, advising yearbook, and being a true adult.

Okay, so it’s only day two and my co-teacher and I are REALLY hoping for the first snow day of the semester tomorrow (prayers please). But still. I have a desk and a key to the classroom and a badge and access to … Continue reading To My Teachers

I’m anxious about the future of my sorority. I’m … Continue reading Jesus Freak
Proverbs 9:9 says, “Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more.” This semester, I am (basically) a teacher. I’m scared and overwhelmed, but I’m also ready. I have four beautiful baby Phis in my New Member Education Program, I’m teaching the fifth book of … Continue reading To Be Wise
It's been a while. I've thought about my next post quite often actually, but I can't seem to conjure up a solid idea. Right now, I'm at Holden High School doing my teaching observations (honestly I probably shouldn't be blogging but the science class I'm in is testing so there isn't much teaching to observe) … Continue reading Not One In A Million, But Good Enough
