Down to the wire

So tomorrow is test day for me. The PRAXIS! I feel like I am ready but then again who knows what they will throw in there. I feel like I have read a lot, especially through my college literature classes but there is so much out there that it is impossible to read it all. I have tried to study for the past week and mainly the past two days and now am at the point where I don't think I can possibly remember anymore. 7:30 is when the Content Area part begins and then I get a break until 2:15 for the PLT part. I am hopefully going to try to study some more of the Ed. Psych stuff in between and focus the rest of my time tonight on English. I know I shouldn't be too worried about passing it the first try because I have a whole year till I need to pass it, but it is a pretty expensive test to take very many times. All I can do at this point is pray that I do my best and think that if I don't do well this time at least I will know what is coming at me the second time.

Tonight we went to Courtside as a sort of last Hurrah for all of us. Kinda crazy to think that this time next year we will be getting ready to leave each other for longer than just a summer. We really have developed a family down here, we live with each other more than we do our real families. As much as I want summer to come I don't think I am ready to believe that I only have one more year at Rio and then I have to be an "adult" and go to work everyday. No more just sitting around all day watching all of our shows, playing Nintendo for hours, or playing racquetball with each other. High school may have seemed to go by quickly but college has been faster. At least with high school I will go back home and see the majority of my friends, with college I will have to travel all over the state to see them. I guess that is everyone though.

Last night we went over to watch the Shakespeare class put on "A Midsummer's Night Dream." They did such a nice job and we had a really good time. It was nice for Lora and I to get to do something just the two of us. We haven't gotten to do that a lot this year. It is almost like we are growing apart which I hate. Though we live together we are both so busy with work, school, studying and everything else we just don't have time to do anything else. It's neither of our faults it just doesn't seem like we ever have time.

On to happier news, CLASSES ARE DONE!!! Finals start on Monday and I don't have one till Thursday which will be nice after taking this PRAXIS, just to have some time off. Graduation is on Saturday and I agreed to be a marshall and Jennifer will be graduating for the second time so the whole family will be coming down. Probably a good thing so I can get all of my stuff home. I am dreading packing up all of my stuff because there is a lot of it. This year though we are going to hopefully store a lot of the stuff we don't need down here so we don't have to haul it so far which will be nice!

Well I better get back to studying. I will let everyone know how the PRAXIS goes! Wish me luck and pray for me please!
