Wow! It's been a long time

So much has happened in the last 6 months, I really wish now that I had made more of an effort to write it down.

Jan 2012 -- I started my last semester at Texas A&M student teaching math in a fourth grade classroom in Madisonville, TX that was about an hour away.  Everyday, M-F for 12 weeks.  That was torturous, between the amount of time I spent on the driving and the insane road construction going on.





Scooby Dooby Doo!
In case you were unaware, College Station is suddenly 'expanding' thanks to Johnny Football and the awesome first season in the SEC. 
Definitely a Heisman

And always a pimpin' bow-tie
Proposed Kyle Field upgrade
And then there is Texas A&M President Bowen Loftin who has done an amazing job to put Texas A&M in a great position among colleges, while growing not only the Texas A&M brand name but growing and renovating the campus.  


But most important thing in College Station 
as with most Texas cities, 
is that all the roads to the stadium 
can accommodate game day traffic.






So long Mustangs!
Apr 2012 -- Early in April I finished my student teaching.  It was bittersweet to be finished with my last semester at Texas A&M. On one hand I was surprised how hard is was to be leaving the kids that I had spent 12 weeks with everyday and on the other hand I was about to graduate.




May 2012 -- In case you haven't already heard, I ACTUALLY GRADUATED!!!

I am officially a college graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in 4-8 Math and Science.  I can't believe I did it.  Four years ago I had a hard time imagining this day.

Since then I have been going to interviews with different districts around here hoping to find a place to start my career.  It's been tough though.  A lot of districts would rather take a displaced experienced teacher over a recent graduate.

I have been talking to Navasota ISD about a Junior High Science position; at this point I am just waiting to hear about a contract.  In the meantime I keep applying for other near by positions.
June 2013 -- I can't believe that I've been married for three years.  I still cannot figure out how my wife manages to put up with me, then again there are times that I don't see my wife for more than a couple hours a day.  So I'm sure that helps.  I try to keep up with her but she is always on the move and sometimes it is hard to keep up with a horse when on foot.

It works at the moment though.  We are both trying to get things in order for our futures and hopefully we can manage to calm things down soon. In the meantime if you want to find out where A is, I would check Anchored Down & Horsing Around.
