first day of school

Today was my first day of school!

I officially started the Elementary Education program at UVU. 

This day did not come as easily as I had hoped.

Transferring from BYU-Idaho to UVU was no simple task.

(I must have really liked Ammon or something...) :)

After pre-tests, and documents, and $$$$, and taking classes I already took in Idaho, and patience, and meetings, and interviews, and taking tests outside of school, and traveling, and fingerprinting, and some more $$$$...

I am finally in the program!

And to be honest, I wasn't too excited to start. {at first.} I have been told there is a lot of group work {which I loath.} and lots of projects and that I'll never have time for my husband, etc. etc.
 I just want to be a teacher already.

But all it took was my first day of school and some pondering to decide I'm going to like it and I need it. I still have so much to learn and I want to be the best teacher I can be. 

So that's what I decided today: 

I am going to really enjoy the next 2 years of my life and learn as much as I can.

And that's that. 

So ask me if I'm excited to go through the elementary education program and I'll have a resounding answer: YES! It's all about attitude and I'm going to make it a goal to keep mine optimistic at all times. (It also helped that my teachers so far are very knowledgeable and inspiring)

Well, I gotta get ready for work, but I thought I'd hurry and write my new found thoughts on school. Here's me and Ammon on the bus:
