Stuck in a rut

Ever have those weeks where you just feel stuck in a rut? You're in a gloomy mood and it just won't go away? I've been stuck in one of those for a while. I have a lot of insecurities bubbling up, and it's frustrating. I need to find a way to remedy it. I had my first formal evaluation yesterday as a real teacher two weeks ago and had my post-observation conference last week. I was so incredibly nervous and totally doubted my abilities as a teacher. I got a pretty positive review back though. It's funny how untrusting of ourselves and of God we really can be, I was worried over nothing. I had images of being fired and having to go look for a job out of the teaching field forever because no one wants to hire a fired teacher. haha! Totally unnecessary. While I still very often doubt my abilities as a teacher, especially today, I still can rest in the face that there is a reason I am there because God put me there. That is comforting.

Last weekend I went to the Switchfoot concert with my family at Martini Ranch. It was AMAZING! I am so dead serious. One of the best live shows ever and I am officially in love with Martini Ranch as a concert venue, very intimate and just awesome, not to mention Switchfoot is amazing live. They played mostly their new cd and I hadn't heard it yet, I bought it and I am now obsessed. The lyrics are just so powerful, especially in the song " Your Love is a Song"....check it out if you can.

Been talking to a boy for the past 8 months, he comes home in about three weeks. very nervous, and excited, annoyed a little right now, but still excited.

Hopefully I can keep myself sane for the time being.

I went to Dallas back in October for Fall Break, I <3 Texas.
