The holidays flew by as they always do. Brian was here for 10 days which was really nice except he was sick for about 4 of those days. We don't get to see each other that much so that was a bummer. Overall Christmas time in Albany was really nice. The food was delicious and the company was lovely.
Right after Bri left, I started one of my student teaching posts at an elementary school library. I'm currently splitting my time between there and work, next week school classes will be thrown in there as well. I really lucked out with my mentor school librarian, she is also an adjunct professor and was probably one of my favorite professors. She really knows her stuff and immediately threw me into working. I've already taught multiple library lessons by myself, booktalked, collaborated with teachers, and attended faculty meetings. I'm being worked to the bone, but I know I'm going to learn a lot.
Since I have two internships/student teaching posts, I am only taking two classes this last semester. One class is online and the other is at the undergraduate level. In all my graduate semesters I have never felt more relaxed about my work load.
While the New Year's celebration came and went without too much fanfare (Brian wasn't really eating food yet), 2011 is going to be a big year for me. It will contain:
-last classes ever (unless I need some sort of other degree but I can't see that happening)
-graduation grad school (never really thought that would happen until a couple years ago)
-hopefully getting job in a school library or library field (please please please)
-moving back in with Brian (the sooner the better)
-further planning of wedding (I'm so glad I have till summer 2012 to finalize everything, no stressing out here)
