Job Hunt

This weekend many things are happening that all are very grown up. FIRST :-) I passed my PPR certification test!! Which means that the only thing standing in my way between becoming a teacher is passing student teaching! :-) Which is going really well! I have truly been blessed to have such a great cooperating teacher. We get along really well and if I get a job there (hopefully get a job there) I really think we could be friends. She is awesome and we have the same teaching style so it has really been a wonderful experience for me.

Secondly, I am getting a new car soon. Possibly tomorrow, we have to go to the dealership and test drive the car and if they have the one I want (the color and everything) then I might be able to drive off the lot. But the crazy thing is that it will be in my name. My dad is going to co-sign... but it's officially under my name. CRAZY.

Third, I am applying for a job to six different school districts this weekend. Which means I will be interviewing soon. I like this whole growing up thing, but it's really scary at the same time.

Other than that things are great. I am still sore from the wreck but I am not as tired anymore, my body is getting back to normal. (My muscles were so upset from the wreck I couldn't open a soda bottle.)

Nick and I are doing great. :-) It's a huge relief that long distance isn't as bad as I thought it would be. We are both so busy that it just means a lot when we are able to talk on the phone and see each other.

Overall I really haven't been this happy in my entire life. Everything is going great. Kind of scary to think it could all be messed up....

I really hope you are doing well... if anyone actually reads this haha.

Did that just happen?

Well I was in a car accident yesterday. And I am going to give you the play by play. I was driving to take my certification test when two minutes after I left my house a 73 year old women decides to take a left turn without seeing if someone was in her way. I didn't even see her. I didn't have time to hit the brakes, all of a sudden I saw the color of her car and then my car was going towards a house. I tried to break but in the hit I guess they were cut off or something. Then the car started rolling backwards and I thought a car was going to hit me from behind, but thank God no one was behind me. Suddenly my car stopped and I realized the air bags had deployed. It smelled like gas and there was smoke (which was actually the dust from the air bags but I didn't know that at the time). So I grabbed my purse and phone and ran out of the car because I thought it might catch on fire. It didn't catch on fire but there was gas and oil coming out the car. The other driver didn't get out of the car at first. The accident was right next to the country club so several people came running from it to check on us. The lady ended up being ok she was just in shock. We are almost positive the car is completely totaled. The whole front end is smashed in, all the way to the engine. The framing on the passenger side is messed up (you can't open the doors). After the fire truck, ambulance and cop left my Dad took me to the hospital just to make sure I was ok. So I was there for five hours. Needless to say that really stunk.

So if you want to look on the bright side of things I will be getting a new car. Which is what I kind of wanted so that I could have a car with better gas millage. Plus I won't be moving my stuff around all the time. I am looking into a Ford Focus or a Ford Fusion. Let me know which one you think I should get.
