I think all the walking from shopping for Christmas has been tough on my knee because I'm having knee pains again! I feel like such an old woman. I realized I didn't bring my knee brace home with me which could potentially be a problem when I go ice skating and I MUST go ice skating. Winter isn't winter without skating. I don't think I've gone a winter without skating since I was a kid, so why stop now? We'll see what happens after I skate.
Believe it or not, I'm ready to be back in Des Moines. It's not that I'm not getting along with my parents, because I am, but I just feel like Des Moines is a bit more home than Illinois. I do love my parents and these days home are much needed after such a stressful semester, but I only need a few days. So far, so good. I am sure that once the days get closer to actually having to go back I won't want to go back. I am actually REALLY nervous and apprehensive about student teaching. I get butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. I think the part that bothers me the most is that its someone else's class-and not mine, therefore I have to follow by her procedures, rules, and habits instead of my own. I also hear that student teaching really kicks you in the face-but I've only heard that from the guys. I guess I'll see what happens when it happens.
As for right now my sister and I are contemplating on what to do tonight and tomorrow night. I think a night scene may be in view for tomorrow night but as for tonight maybe just chilling at home. Well, off I go to be with my family. Everyone take care!

Hello doll,
I was just poking around and reading your blog. I'm glad to know you got home safe (though that incident with the car flipping over sounds SCARY!). Luck!! for your PRAXIS II though I know you'll be fine!
I understand how you feel about missing Des Moines. We really have invested ourselves there these last four years, haven't we? I've found that while it's fun being home and hanging out with my old friends, some of them have changed, or I've changed, or just so many crazy things have happened this semester that I just don't have the energy to tell them, and all my joys and sorrows have been left in Des Moines with you guys. And about talking to Andy and entering into the "real world" - we're really there, aren't we?
Anyways, I hope you're having a restful and fun Christmas break. Just think - when we get back, Greggy-poo will be there! Oh, and I'm glad Ben may be one of your new favorites. Yay for making new friends!
Linda
