remember me?

Worst blogger ever.  I'm sorry...

Bauer just farted next to me.  And it smells...



BAD.

I wish I had pictures to show you from the beach, but I don't because I took NONE!  The beach this year, for me, was a time to get away from everything - work, photography class, new career goal, and wedding.  I was SO overwhelmed when I left that I could do nothing but lay on the beach and stuff my face with lasagna (yes, lasagna at the beach), candy, and cookies.  And, that's what I did.  :)  Now I'm BACK and hopefully I'll be blogging more!

So, for those of you that know my sister you know that she has been fighting the deamon named Praxis for a few years.  I am now joining her in the fight and quite frankly, I'm terrified.  I have to pass the Praxis I Math test on September 18 or I will not be accepted into Mary Baldwin for the teacher licensure program in the Spring.  I studied a LITTLE at the beach (refer to paragraph 1) and just took the practice test tonight for the first time to time myself and see how much I really know.  I scored a 183 and need a 178 to pass.  So, I would have passed...but not by much.  I got 26 out of 40 questions right and if it were a test in a class I would have got a 65%.  That sucks.  The main area I need to work on are fractions that I have hated, despised, and cursed since the 5th grade.  I mean really...there are calculators now.  WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW THIS CRAP BY DOING IT ON PAPER!  (Oh yeah, no calculators are allowed on this test...) I'm so annoyed. 

In addition to the Praxis I have to pass the VCLA reading and writing tests on Sept 25 (also the same day as my bach partayyy!!), so I will have to start studying for that soon too.  Good grief.  Why couldn't I have just decided to be a teacher while I was still in college?  Oh right...I was going to be a 'business woman'.  How's that working out for me?  I work some Saturdays, holidays, no insurance, no 401k, low ass salary, no overtime pay...yeah, I think I'll become a teacher :)

I'm now going to eat a big bowl of ice cream at 9:45 PM.  My wedding diet is going great! :) mwahaha

toodles.
