Summer is over, even if it doesn't feel like it! All of this humidity and crazy heat needs to go away! Either way school is back in session. I've been at the daycare now for 5 months and I've only worked in one room--my 3's. I love them! They are such a fun age, always saying or doing something funny. Even through their tattle tailing and tears, I love spending my days with them! Over the summer, I've gotten to know the kids even better and vise versa, they expect me in class everyday and when I come in the afternoon they are asking where I am--precious, I know!
Two weeks ago more than half of my 3's moved to the 4 year old room and we transitioned up the 2's along with a few new kids. It's a whole new dynamic but I am thankful I get to see my new 4's outside on the playgroup. Watching them behave and adapt to the new room, teacher, and rules makes me feel like a proud parent! I know they are going to grow up and be a great group of people someday and it makes me wish I could be around to see them in high school and how far they'll go.
It is really crazy how fast time flies, here I am beginning my 5th year at UNI and my last year as a graduate student. It doesn't seem all that long ago I was getting moved into the Quads and trying to squeeze a loveseat up 4 flights of stairs. My time at UNI has been wonderful, I am so thankful for the opportunities I've had and the people I've met. I learned early on to not waste any time and take advantage of the opportunities in front of me. I joined Alpha Delta Pi and found my closest friends and roommates, traveled abroad for an entire summer, found a career path I love with mentors who are passionate about what they do, and experienced college life to the fullest. Looking back at all my memories at this university, I can't pin point any one favorite time because so many stand out to me. I really am one lucky girl.
Now that I've got my amazing roommates, a cozy apartment, and the first semester of grad school under my belt; I'm ready to take on my last year on campus--and enjoying every second of it!
