i had my first class at the university of redlands last night. my nerves had really gotten the best of me by the time i actually made it to class:) i knew it was going to be a different kind of learning and i wasn't sure if i was going to be able to handle it. i had heard about the program and all of the projects and lesson planning and remembered that for the past however many years, i have become really good at writing papers... which seems useless now:) anyhow, i walked into the classroom last night and was greeted by the brightest smile, it belonged to the sweet looking lady behind the desk. i took my seat at the nearest available LEFT handed desk and pulled out my notebook, pen, pencil, and water. i sat there and watched the others sitting and the new ones walking in and they all seemed nice. after a few minutes, class finally began and it was AMAZING! the students are terrific and  the professor is so sweet and brilliant. i still can't believe that i enjoyed the class so much after being so freaked out about it for weeks now. i can truly say that i am looking forward to what this program has to offer. mostly, i am looking forward to becoming a teacher, hopefully soon:)

enjoy today. it is a bit nippy out but it is lovely and the mountains are covered with snow so enjoy:)

ps...i went to winter camp this past weekend and as soon as i finish editing the photos, i am going to write about it...it was so wonderful!
